Spiced Salted Peanuts

Overview

In late summer and early fall, I love a late-night snack: spiced salted peanuts.

Wash the shelled peanuts bought from the supermarket repeatedly to remove the dirt.
Prepare spices: bay leaves, star anise, pepper, appropriate amount.
Put the cleaned shelled peanuts into the pot and add 3 times the water.
Add spices.
Cover the pot, simmer for 5 minutes and simmer for 10 minutes before serving.
