One substitution, and the classic blend grows more fragrant. In the organic Five Spices from Place des Épices, the traditional Chinese mix of cloves, fennel, Sichuan pepper, and green anise remains, but cassia, the Chinese cinnamon and far less aromatic, gives way to genuine Ceylon cinnamon sticks from Sri Lanka. The result is warm and sweetly anise-scented. Rub it over duck breast or pork belly, or add it to a gingerbread.
