Espresso spiced up with licorice
- fransg
A (very tiny) bit of pure licorice powder (dried and pulverized juice from Succus Glycyrrhiza glabra plant) sweetens espresso and intensifies its taste.

I bought the pure licorice powder in The Netherlands from an online drugstore.

Hi Frans, they are currently out of stock, but I found this product listed at a local Dutch shop:Van Vliet Sweet Liquorice Powder 30g, which seems to have a lot of other ingredients.

Drop, translated as licorice, contains an extract of 'zoethout' that also translates as Licorice....you should be able to buy the actual root or powder of it and add it to the ground coffee...I'll pass

The idea is to have just the pure dried / pulverized juice of the root, no additives.John49 wrote:Hi Frans, they are currently out of stock, but I found this product listed at a local Dutch shop:Van Vliet Sweet Liquorice Powder 30g, which seems to have a lot of other ingredients.
0.1g suffices in my experience. The idea is to barely taste the licorice at all while intensifying the coffee 'punch'.
Folks should be aware that licorice can cause increased blood pressure, especially in people who already have hypertension and especially when combined with caffeine.fransg wrote:The idea is to have just the pure dried / pulverized juice of the root, no additives.ca

How much of a punch do you get? Something like a red bull with a shot of espresso?fransg wrote:The idea is to have just the pure dried / pulverized juice of the root, no additives.
