Pukka Organic Triple Herbs Tea

Already in ancient times liquorice enjoyed great popularity. This is hardly surprising, since it is 50 times sweeter than sugar because of the glycyrrhizincontained. Pharaohs did not even want to relinquish liquorice during afterlife. That`s why researchers discovered sundry kinds of liquorice in various burial chambers. The Greek philosopher and naturalist Theophrastos from Eresos experimented ca. 350 years before Christ with several lumbers, fruits and plants. This resulted in a tasty juice made of cooked liquorice. After various self-experiments he recommended this juice as an outstanding thirst quencher and a remedy for coughs.

Several centuries after Theophrastos, the legions of Rome began to conquer Britannia. To prevent colds during the expedition in the north of the rainy island, the legionaries had liquorice in their field pack. Even Hildegard from Bingen was very fond of the sweet root from the Middle East. She recommended liquorice as a remedy for depression. According to her, beyond mood soothing effect it also ensures a clear voice. During the late Middle Ages liquorice tea was sold in pharmacies as well as Pontefract cakes. They were produced by pouring the cooked black juice into small ramekins. Due to a clumsiness of the English pharmacist George Dunhill this medicament became a very popular candy. While manufacturing liquorice, a cup full of sugar fell into the pot. Since the combination tasted even better than the ordinary liquorice he decided to add sugar in every future production. After a short time patients from all over England and even the adjacent countries where delighted with the new sweet variant.

Today`s liquorice contains liquorice as well as sugar, gelling agent, flour and starch. Beside the sweet liquorice there exists a salty variant, which is particularly popular in Scandinavia. Especially coaster use liquorice to prevent coughs and hoarseness. Particularly during the winter one can enjoy the liquorice root not only in candy but also in tea.
