CINNAMON ANISE ICED TEA

Steps:

• Place cool water in a pot with a lid large enough to hold the water with good head space above the water level.
• add the tea bags, cinnamon and anise to the pot.
• Cover and bring it just to a boil. If you let it boil for more than a few seconds (no more than 5) it tends to become strong and acidic boiled longer.
• Remove the covered pot (leave lid on) and let it cool to room temp. Remove the tea bags at this point or earlier for a less strong tea . The cinnamon and anise may be removed (don't toss out, they can be used several times!) or left in to continue adding flavor to the tea.
• Add ice to a tall glass or glasses if your making more than 1 serving. Pour the tea and sweeten to your liking. Enjoy.

ITALIAN ANISE TEA BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mix the first 6 ingredients with a mixer until light and lemony in color, then add flour 1 cup at a time (I can usually get the first 4 cups with a stand mixer) remove the dough from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and kneed in enough flour that the dough is similar to play-dough in texture (not soft or moist but not dry either, should be just enough that it doesn't stick to the counter). Roll into long snake like logs about a half inch in circumference and cut at an angle into inch long pieces. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper and bake around 14 minutes until bottom is golden brown (some of the tops of the cookies will crack when baking). Mix together the lemon zest and milk and microwave about 30 seconds and mix in the powdered sugar, reheating as necessary until you get a good icing consistency. Brush icing on cookies and sprinkle with the sprinkles before the icing dries.
