  2. In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar, bringing to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for about 5-6 minutes until light golden. Reduce heat, add butter, milk, and anise extract. Stir until smooth and cool.
  3. Once mixtures are cool, transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Pour chilled ice cream base into ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy.
  5. In a large container, layer churned orange ice cream and licorice sauce, alternating until finished. Swirl gently.
  6. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
