Steep 5 to 7 minutes for moderate sweetness, 8 to 10 for fuller intensity. Drink black; milk muddies the flavour completely. The bag will give a second cup; both ingredients have plenty left after one steep. Why it works Liquorice root is roughly 50 times sweeter than sugar by weight, so it makes a sweet-tasting cup with no sugar and no calories. Spearmint adds a cool, clean freshness that lifts it. The result reads like a sugar-free dessert, which is why it appeals to anyone cutting down on sugar. Good to know Liquorice is naturally sweet but is best enjoyed in moderation; a couple of cups a day is fine for most people. If you are pregnant or have high blood pressure, it is sensible to avoid concentrated liquorice. This is general information, not medical advice.
