Chinese Take-Out: Chinese Five Spice Powder

Here is a recipe so that you can make your own "Chinese Five Spice Powder" at home. It is much fresher and a lot tastier than the store bought bottles. Please feel free to adjust the quantity of each ingredient to your own liking and leave me a note as to your changes (I'm still playing with the ingredients myself). This keeps quite fresh for 4-6 months if stored properly. I double this batch each time so I do not have to make it as often. I'm kinda guessing at the yield size, as I have never really measured it after grinding. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
