Best bet is to just go buy a bottle of it in the spice or baking isle of the market.

Check Craigs list. I saw it being sold by the gallon here in Idaho this spring. You might want to check out e-bay also. Worth a shot......

I just got some anus oil from boiling my toilet paper down....

Actually, go to a pharmacy and they typically sell it, along with cinammon, mint, etc. oils that people use in making candies. Ask the pharmacy staff if you can't find it & they can order it for you.

I don't know the first thing about anise oil or what you use it for, but sellme64's reply has had me laughing for the last ten minutes.
