I used a recipe that I found on pintrest, you can find that here:

There are tips that he suggests:
1. Use Chinese Five Spice sparingly, it's very strong.
2. His other tip on Star Anise was NOT correct when I tried it. When you buy Star Anise it is the seeds that you have to grind, the bag that I purchased was 3.5oz and we barley got 4 teaspoons out of it. Buy Anise, it's ground star Anise, you get more for the money that you spend!
This makes AMAZING food, you won't regret it!
Ingredients You'll Need
1 tbsp Cinnamon, ground
