Star Anise
Really native to China and India, Star Anise is an evergreen seed we use in our foods to give dishes a distinct flavor. Its licorice aroma and taste definitely makes for a unique flavor. Our primary use though is to alleviate stomach pain and gas associated with acid reflux. I grew up drinking anise tea my mom would make if any of us felt sick. So today I make tea when I don’t feel so well. It really does help! Stick a few stars in boiling water and let it steep for 3 minutes. I also have started using it to make drinks and dessert. A new fave spice in my rack!

Molesto (moh-les-toh)
(adj.)
annoying, irritating; annoyed, irritated
Molesto is one of those Spanish words which, like tranquilo, mean one thing when used with ser, and another when used with estar. With ser the meaning is annoying, and you’re stating that this is a permanent quality:
“Es una persona muy molesta”
He’s a very annoying or irritating person
