I make liquorice candy for my grandchildren, by extracting water from the liquorice root, and then mix it with sugar, corn syrup and flour. Because of its sweetening and flavored characteristics, liquorice tastes excellent.
I even heard that liquorice helps to open and soothes the facial pores. In ancient Greek, liquorice is used to treat chest problem.
