We celebrated Chinese New Year last night and made China Clippers. I didn't find a recipe I liked so I just eyeballed it. I used a cup of water, a cup of demerara sugar and dumped in some Five Spice powder. I also added a couple star anise, a few whole cloves, and a broken up stick of cinnamon. I brought them to a boil and then left them on very low heat for about half an hour. I strained out the big chunks but didn't try to filter out the powder, it will continue to add flavor. It turned out great.

If you're looking for a cool presentation, try serving them in paper take-out containers. I got 100 blank ones at Smart and Final for about $6. You can give guests a red Sharpie and let them decorate them with their names and Chinese themed graphics.
