- In a small pot, pour in 1 ½ cup Whole milk, ½ cup Sugar, and ¼ tsp Salt, add 3-4 pieces Star anise, and reduce the liquid to 1⁄2 of the starting volume on low heat, mixing and scraping the sides occasionally (I set my alarm every 10 minutes) of the pan using a silicone spatula. (Total weight after reduction should be about 300-350 gr/ml). This process will take about 30 minutes.3-4 pieces Star anise, 1 ½ cup Whole milk, ½ cup Sugar, ¼ tsp Salt
- Once we get the milk reduction/condensed milk, we can add ¼ cup Heavy cream, ½ cup Maple syrup, and Christmas spice mix, then bring everything together to a simmer again on low heat while constantly whisking, this time for another 5-10 minutes.½ cup Maple syrup, ¼ cup Heavy cream
- After the final simmer, we can strain the liquid into a glass container or glass bottle and leave it to cool down completely.

Notes
The long version offers an even more intense star anis flavor since the star anis infuse the coffee creamer for 40 minutes and not only 15, as in the version with condensed milk.
The total coffee creamer made from this recipe is 2.5 cups (about 40 tablespoons). Use 1-2 tablespoons per serving.
