Star anise is said to have superficially similar flavoring compounds as liquorice. Most Chinese do not like liquorice, and yet as early as I could remember, we have been exposed to star anise (as it is one of the key ingredients in the Chinese Five Spices). <br /><br />I like your combination of coffee, vanilla and pepper very much. I once had a salty peppery chocolate with a oozing soft centre, very fine chocolate. I imagine this flavor combination would work with coffee liquor too.shiao-pinghttp://www.thefreshloaf.com/blog/shiaopingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408666842812788886.post-35683473657697810732009-12-17T08:11:21.321+01:002009-12-17T08:11:21.321+01:00Well, if they can be used for anything, I really d...Well, if they can be used for anything, I really do not know. As they are soaked in rum, they aren't crunchy anymore, so covering them in chocolate (as I sometimes do with fresh coffee beans) wouldn't really work. <br /><br />Also, even drying them again wouldn't be of much use as the alcohol in the rum will have taken out much of their taste and caffeine. <br /><br />So, apart from the classic use as fertilizer, I'd say no. But if you come across something, I'd be really interested to know.Reuben Morningchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746718502241810905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408666842812788886.post-79660508393379303642009-12-16T20:30:45.030+01:002009-12-16T20:30:45.030+01:00Can you use the discarded rum-soaked coffee beans ...Can you use the discarded rum-soaked coffee beans for anything?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
