Liquorice Juice Stick approx 25g

Liquorice Juice Stick

Brittle, hard sticks made out of pure liquorice juice.

Snap a piece off to suck - it has a strong liquorice flavour.

A popular way our customers use these sticks is to dissolve some in a hot drink - like blackcrrant juice, for example. This makes a warming, mildly sweet comforting drink.

Some of the juice dissolved into various herb teas softens the flavour, and may help to make a more palatable drink.

Can be used to make home remedies - an exasmple isthis traditional linseed & liquorice cough mixture:

Ingredients:

1 heaped tablespoon whole linseeds

Licorice Juice stick x 1

100g raisins

1litre water

Honey to taste

Place linseed, liquorice juice, raisins and water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer gently over a medium heat for 30 minutes. Strain the mixture though a sieve. Return to pan and boil steadily uncovered to reduce by half to 500 ml. Then add the honey and 1 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Suggested use: Add 2 dessertspoons in a cup of hot water and drink before bed or when needed for a troublesome cough. (Liquorice can raise the blood pressure, if you already have high blood pressure do not exceed dose and check with your doctor if concerned.)
