Tea

When I was a kid, I used to get a long licorice rope (just one rope, not several in a bunch) and they came in different flavors but pink lemonade was my favorite. I’m 5 months pregnant and have a serious craving for them. I tried doing a google search for pink lemonade licorice, or licorice rope but haven’t been able to find who makes them, let alone the product itself. Does anyone remember who makes these and know where I can get some?

it took some looking but I hope that this is what you are looking for.

Are there any videos or tours of the process of creating licorice candy?

Background
Licorice is a glossy, gelled candy with a semi-firm consistency that is flavored with licorice root extract. Typically, it is a moderately sweet candy, and is available in a variety of flavors such as black licorice, strawberry, cherry and chocolate. Currently, it is touted as a healthier snack food because it contains almost no fat per serving. It is made in a continuous process, which involves mixing and cooking, forming the candy, cutting it, and putting it in packaging. Licorice represents one of the oldest forms of candy with evidence suggesting it was made as early as the thirteenth century. It continues to be a popular product today making up a significant portion of the over $13 billion, annual non-chocolate candy market. It is anticipated that licorice manufacturers will try to increase yearly sales primarily by increasing the speed at which they can produce the candy.

I am in zone 9 for gardening and in zone 5 in Arizona. I’m not sure what the best method is to start germination, what kind of sun/warmth it needs or watering and soil or if I should sow indoors or outdoors.

If you have any tips for sowing camellia sinensis seeds, as well, fel free to share.

Thank you for your help!

If you are talking about Agastache rugosa or really any plant in the Agastache Genus, the best way to germinate the seeds is to sow them in peat pots at about 55-65ºF. If you are growing them indoors plant 6 to 8 weeks before planting outside. Barely cover the seeds with soil. The seeds can take up to 90 days to germinate but usually between 30 and 90 days.

Tiger striped ice cream is my favorite. I’d like to try and make it. It’s orange and licorice flavored. Yummy. But sometimes hard to get. If I could make it myself……..

4 eggs (suggest liquid pasteurized eggs, available at most supermarkets)
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 cups whipping cream
1 tablespoon anise flavoring
1/4 teaspoon lemon flavoring
1/4 teaspoon salt
Milk as needed to fill ice-cream canister three-quarters full Turquoise food color, optional Beat eggs; add sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating after each addition. Add whipping cream, anise and lemon flavorings, salt and food color, if desired. Mix until well blended. Pour into freezer can and add milk to three-quarters full. Freeze in 5- to 6-quart freezer according to manufacturer’s directions.

tea herbs licorice root
I mean this specifically to TEA. I want to know if they have different medicinal properties, and if they are different at all.

I’m fairly sure that any licorice used medicinely (as in tea for instance) will be derived from licorice root. The only other kind of licorice is the candy type which used to contain licorice root extract (hence the name) but rarely does these days – it’s mostly flavoured with aniseed and other things.

I’m tired of waxy commercial licorice and when I find some good stuff the outlet usually goes out of business. Help!

Black licorice

2 c. cane sugar
1 1/2 c. corn syrup
1 c. sweetened -condensed milk milk
1 c. butter
dash of salt
1 Tbsp. anise oil or about 2 to 3 Tbsp. anise extract

Cook at 232 degrees. Stir constantly. Do not wash sides of pan down. Pour into greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Cool in refrigerator. Cut into bite size pieces and wrap in waxed paper.

Black Licorice II

1 cup (1/4 liter) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50 ml) brown sugar
1/4 cup (50 ml) water
1/4 cup (50 ml) light corn syrup
1 tbsp (15 ml) black food colouring
1/4 tsp (1 ml) anise extract or pulverized anise seeds

Put the sugars, water and corn syrup into a pot, set the pot over medium heat and stir. When the batch has boiled for the first time, wash the sugar crystals down from the sides of the pot. Put the thermometer in the pot and cook without stirring to 290F (143C) [soft crack stage]. Take the pot from the heat and add the food colouring and the anise flavouring and stir them in gently.

With a teaspoon, drop round patties about the size of quarters onto a greased baking sheet. If the candy in the pot gets too firm for spooning, reheat it gently until it softens. Cool the drops completely but not in the refrigerator or the pieces will stick. Wrap the drops individually in wax paper or cellophane.

Ok I know they are famous for salted black licorice…which is quite good actually, but im talking about red licorice. My friend recently came to canada to visit and she tried some kind of red licorice and loved it. Now I want to send her some for her birthday but im not sure what kind it was. So, for all you swedish people out there, do they have twizzlers in sweden? or pull-n-peel twizzlers?

We don’t have twizzlers but we have something called "Snören" or "strings" which kind of taste the same and comes in a variety of flavours.

At fun fairs or markets (which you may go to once a year) you can often buy candy similar to twizzler but to answer your question we don’t have it here in our shops so it is very possible that is what she meant.

I looove love love the smell of black licorice, and I happen to have some anise lying around. Is there a simple way to make a perfume or a scent so I can smell delicious? Thank you!

ew.
try blending it with water then spray it on you.

I’m doing a project on licorice and need the extract.

On the Internet – always your best bet. Otherwise, look up local health food or organic stores.
