Licorice is extracted from the roots of the tree, which is characterized by being 50 times sweeter than ordinary sugar and can be chewed or eaten like sweets.

You can consume licorice root as a tea, tincture, powder, or supplement. It can also be applied topically as a gel. While there’s no standard dosage for licorice root, you should limit your total glycyrrhizin intake to no more than 100 mg per day. The recommended dosage of licorice root is less than 75 milligrams per day, according to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.
Licorice root gives the most flavor when steeped in hot liquid. Thus, teas, syrups, sauces, and custards can be infused with anise's distinctive notes by adding the root, heating it, and then removing it before serving. Or directly use root powder or licorice extract in salads, teas and different foods. Liquorice roots still give off strong aromas without needing to be heated. Like vanilla pods, they can be used to flavour sugar, and like dried juniper berries, they can be used to liven up salt cures.
