1 quart of water
1 ounce (about 28 grams) of licorice (either in leaf or dried root form)
Instructions:
Boil the water, add the licorice, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat and steep the tea for another 10 minutes.
Your licorice tea is ready to be served!
Note: Licorice should not be consumed excessively and is not recommended for long-term use. High doses of licorice can pose risks for certain individuals, leading to sodium retention and increased potassium excretion. Excessive consumption of licorice can also inhibit the conversion of cortisol to cortisone, potentially causing high blood pressure and muscle pain.
