Ways to use licorice root

Whether you brew a soothing cup, bake a fragrant treat, or craft a homemade cordial, licorice root can be a companion ingredient. Use it to impart a gentle sweetness and aroma to your creations while maintaining a natural ingredient list. While it’s a traditional flavoring, its use should be balanced with other flavors to avoid overpowering the dish.

• Tea blends: add a small amount to chamomile, peppermint, or black tea for an inviting sweetness
• Baked goods and confections: integrate into cookies, breads, or candy recipes for a distinctive note
• Liqueurs and syrups: steep to create flavorful homemade infusions and syrup bases
