Method

  1. Put the orange juice, star anise and sugar into a pan. Bring to the boil, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, then remove the star anise. Cool, then pour into an ice-cream machine and churn until smooth and frozen. (If you don't have an ice-cream machine, cool the mixture, then tip into a freezerproof container and freeze until firm, whisking every hour with a fork to break up the ice crystals.)

    Lovely - went really well with the Ginger Crunch Meringue Bombes. It was very easy to make - even without an ice-cream machine - and the hint of Star Anise was really nice. Very refreshing, and would be really nice on its own in the summer too. It doesn't make a great deal though - so if it was to be on its own I think I'd double the quantities.

    Yeah, sounds nice and appears very easy to do. Without an ice-cream engine, for how many hours would I need to whisk it? Can anyone enlighten me?Thanks!

    Made this ice cream to accompany a mango creme brulee i made.. it was beautiful and the hint of star anise was very nice. I don't have an ice cream maker either, so to prevent ice crystals, put it in the freezer, after an hour (or when the edges are frozen) take it out of the freezer and give it a really good whisk. After another hour, do this again. Then after another hour, do this one more time. Then leave it in the freezer, preferably overnight, to freeze completly.

    Easy, delicious and far superior to any in the shops. This was a definite hit in our house,although I shall double the quantities in future as it disappeared very quickly.

    Quite the best, smoothest sorbet I've ever made (or that my ice-cream maker has made). Absolutely delicious taste.
