Instructions
- Heat the 2 quarts water or 4 12oz cans of beer and dissolve the 2-4 bouillon cubes into it. Add the 1 head of garlic, 1 small yellow onion cut in half, small bunch parsley, 1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds OR 1 or 2 whole star anise on medium-high until you reach a rolling boil. Drop the heat down to a simmer and allow the flavors to meld. This will also boil off the alcohol in the beer if you are using that as your liquid.
- Turn the heat off and add the 8 package your favorite hot dogs gently into the pot. Allow them to warm through. This should take 2-4 minutes depending on how cold they are when they go in.
- Pull them out of the water and allow them to drain briefly on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve on toasted 8 hot dog buns with your favorite toppings.
