1.Preparation of the mold: Pour the liquid caramel into the flan mold, making sure to cover the bottom and sides well. Booking.

2.Star anise infusion: In a small pot, add the 2 tablespoons of sugar and the TERANA star anise. Add enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a medium heat. Let it boil for a few minutes to create an anise infusion. Then, remove from the heat and let it sit so the flavors can blend.

Add the vanilla extract and strain the star anise infusion over the mixture, discarding the anise. Mix again until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
