Infusing licorice root with water is one of the most popular ways to consume it. During the colder months, an infusion is wonderful for the body. Conversely, in the warmer months, we can prepare it and then add ice to refresh this beneficial beverage.
We'll tell you how to prepare it step by step
All you need is a licorice branch, a water heater, and a knife. Here are some of our best products.
If you don't have a water heater, you can use a saucepan to heat the water.
Heat the water
The exact time you start heating the water isn't crucial. However, I prefer to heat the water first while I follow the other steps in the guide.
The water should reach a temperature of 100º to extract all the flavor from this root.
Peel the licorice root
Using a knife, peel the bark from the licorice root until it's clean. You can do this without peeling it and then strain the water well to remove any remaining bits of peel or dirt, but if you peel it beforehand, you skip the straining step.
