Ingredients 6 ingredients

  1. Water
  2. 1 teaspoon red food coloring
  3. Cream
  4. 1 teaspoon anise oil
  5. Sugar
  6. Tartar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.
