Commonly thought of as a flavoring in cooking or even as a sweet to be enjoyed after meals, licorice is a root that grows throughout the Mediterranean and Asia. Wild growing licorice plants are most frequently seen in the countries of Greece, Italy, Spain, China, Iraq, and Syria. It has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties as well as for its unique taste, and is currently becoming more fashionable in the Western world. Licorice tea is one way to enjoy both sides of the plant, getting a dose of the unique flavor as well as the health benefits.
