Hello Bonnie, an anise cube can be bought here in Holland in every possible shop and even online (https://www.amazon.com/Ruijter-Anijsblokjes-Little-Anise-Dissolve/dp/B00EV5TARE). We're sorry, but we're not known with all stores around the world, so no clue about the US ;) We're also not familiar with anise extract, so you can add it to taste. Hope you like this dessert anyway :)
