These brittle, hard sticks can be dissolved in water to create digestive drinks, tasty syrups, and delicious cordials. Their strong licorice flavour, reminiscent of aniseed and fennel, makes them a unique addition to various beverages and recipes.

Eat them raw, or dissolve them into warm drinks such as blackcurrant juice or herbal teas, transforming them into sweet and comforting drinks. The licorice not only adds flavour but also helps to soften and enhance the overall taste, making even the most potent herbal teas more palatable.
