✨ Why You’ll Love Licorice Root Powder

🌿 A Traditional Botanical for the Modern Pantry*

Licorice root has been a staple in global herbal traditions for centuries, from ancient Mediterranean cultures to Eastern practices.³ Today, it is a favourite for:

• Custom Tea Blending: Use as a "harmoniser" in tea blends to balance the heat of ginger or the bitterness of certain herbs.⁴

   

• Cacao & Coffee Enhancer: Adds a naturally sweet, syrupy undertone to chocolate-based drinks and smoothies.

• Artisan Baking: A unique secret ingredient for gingerbread, dark sponges, and spiced biscuits.

• Wellness Rituals: Traditionally included in winter-time beverages for its soothing aromatic properties and rich flavor profile.

Licorice root is a potent botanical intended for culinary and aromatic use.⁵ Food products support general well-being and are not intended to treat or cure any health condition.

 

🥄 How to Use

• Natural Sweetener: Start with a small amount (¼–½ teaspoon) in smoothies, oats, or warm drinks. A little goes a long way!

• Herbal Tea Ritual: Stir 1 teaspoon into warm (not boiling) water. It blends exceptionally well with peppermint, cinnamon, or chamomile.

• Culinary Depth: Whisk into savoury marinades or meat rubs to provide a subtle "umami" sweetness found in professional kitchens.

❓ FAQs — Organic Licorice Root Powder NZ

Does this taste like black licorice candy?

It has that iconic sweet, anise-like flavour, but it is 100% natural and lacks the molasses and wheat fillers found in commercial candy.

Can I use this instead of sugar?

Yes! Many people use it to sweeten herbal teas naturally.⁸ Because it is so sweet, you only need a tiny pinch to achieve the desired effect.

 

Is your licorice root deglycyrrhizinated (DGL)?

No, this is pure, whole-root organic powder containing naturally occurring glycyrrhizin for its authentic flavor and sweetness.
