You'll need

1 tea bag of Yogi Tea Organic Licorice
250ml freshly boiled water (100C)
A slice of lemon, optional

Method

Pop the tea bag in your favourite mug.
Pour over the freshly boiled water and leave to steep for 5 minutes so the liquorice and spices come through.
Lift out the bag without squeezing it.
There is no need for sugar, as the liquorice is naturally sweet, but a slice of lemon lifts it nicely.
Sip warm and enjoy a naturally sweet, warming cup.
Most people prefer this unsweetened; the liquorice gives natural sweetness that honey tends to overpower.

What you'll end up with: A caffeine-free, deep golden cup with anise-like liquorice and a gentle warming spice, sweet without any sugar.
