It’s perfect for those who appreciate licorice’s natural sweetness and health benefits, such as soothing sore throats, supporting digestion, and calming inflammation.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon dried licorice root (crushed or cut into small pieces)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3-4 slices fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon dried ginger powder)
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional, for added digestive benefits)
- 2 cups water
- Honey or stevia, to taste (optional)
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tea Base: In a small saucepan, add the licorice root, cinnamon stick, ginger, and fennel seeds (if using). Pour in the water.
- Simmer the Mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a low simmer and let it brew for 10–15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the nutrients to infuse.
- Strain and Serve: Remove the saucepan from the heat, then strain the tea into a mug. If desired, add honey or stevia for sweetness and a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavors.
- Enjoy Warm: Sip slowly and savor this soothing, naturally sweet, and slightly spicy tea.
Note: Licorice root can have strong effects on blood pressure if consumed in large amounts, so enjoy this tea in moderation if you have any health concerns.
