Tea

I eat very healthy, and I am a vegetarian, but i am finding it extremely hard to lost weight, even though i work out 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. I drink plenty of water, and I have developed a licorice allsorts habit, so I eat one bag every day or every other day. Can this really sabotage my weight loss efforts when I eat so healthy?

It doesn’t sabatoge it but the sugar doesn’t help. Try eating dried fruits in between (so like licorice-nothing-dried fruit-nothing-licorice) thats cuts your sugar intake in half and should help you with vitamins and such as well:)

Sure..I love them but lollipops are generally for kids. And to kids this tastes like death. It’s like licking the grim reaper !

Hmm, this thread got all scientific……thought I took a wrong turn for a minute. A lot of things that are made for kids don’t make sense. I’m pretty sure there was a scene in that movie "My Dog Skip" where the dog got beaten with a shovel. Peanut butter is a good, wholesome product that families can enjoy. I recommend that you go out and buy a five gallon container of it.

I just wanted to know how to make red licorice candy and it seams that there are no websites that tell you. Does anyone know how to make it? It would really be appreciated! Thanks!

I saw something on the food channel how they make them. They mix corn syrup, corn starch, red food coloring, and artificial flavors and heat it and express it through a machine. Not too healthy, I never thought about them having both corn starch and corn syrup in them.

Is it healthy to take suppliments and vitamins from bottles sold in stores?

1. are supplements that you buy in stores potent or is a pill form of anything going to be as helpful as just eating garlic for example instead of taking a garlic tablet from a bottle, or taking vitamin C instead of an orange?
2. do most dietary supplements do anything for the body, such as multi vitamins, help the heart and protect cells?

Supplements as their name suggests are just very minor additional enhancements to your diet and health. Taking garlic is the same as eating a garlic pill, in fact garlic is better than garlic pill, as you say.

But, the thing is we never take the time to eat special items like orange or garlic.. If it were in the form of a tablet, the probability of you remembering to ingest it is more.. After you have a meal, you will definitely get reminded about the pill,.. So, consciously or unconsciously, the nourishment (supplementary nutrition) that you require has been provided, thats why we go to the doctor in the first place..

Multi vitamin tablets are also indirect contributors to the general improvement of our overall well-being.. More vitamins, healthier you are, lesser is the risk of heart and other problems..

Hope it helps

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.
