What does this taste like?
 
I know many people who make licorice root tea..
“Licorice root is commonly used in alternative medicine to treat colds and sore throats.  However, licorice does not only act upon the respiratory system.  It can also be soothing to the gut and work as an effective liver cleanser and blood detoxifier when combined with other herbs..”  elana
 
 
What are your experiences with this?

Bleh, I hate black licorice. I can’t even eat the candy where they add sugar, let alone make a tea or eat it raw. So gross.

maybe you can add stevia!!!!
 
I really have no idea what it taste like.. I am not a fan of the candy so maybe i will not like this either..
 
You can jazz it up with stevia, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice ect…  

bleh, i hate licorice too, but it is a very healthy food. maybe you could make a shot in the morning with wheatgrass, licorice, and aloe vera and just get down all the extremely healthy but nasty tasting stuff in one gulp

That is a great idea!!!
 
How would i go about making this shot?? (Measurements, blending ect)… i tried aloe vera juice and its gross… I think a shot i could handle… What benefits would i get from this drink

here are some aloe vera juice benefits from a previous blog:

that combo sounds like a gross shot…. : /

yeah, it would be barforific. all 3 of those would taste nasty individually, so you might as well take it all in one big shot and get it over with, and get all the great benefits of all of them. there are probably a handful of other things you could add to it too, but those 3 off the top of my head work.

Dude, that sounds nasty! I don’t think I could want the health benefits enough to justify drinking that crap. Now a shot of jagermeister on the other hand I could go for every morning. Jager is licorice right?

You guys are gross, that sounds disgusting. Jager on the other hand sounds pretty good. It is made with some real licorice, but I don’t know if it’s enough to offer any of the health benefits…

Seriously??? Jager?? You guys have some issues if that’s what you would like to take in the morning…
 
Pete… how do you make this concoction??
 
How many ounces would this shot consist of???
 
I guess i would make some to last a week
 

no idea, it’s all theoretical. a standard shot is 1.5 oz, so i guess you could go with that if you want and do a 1/2 oz of each?

licorice extract + wheat grass juice + aloe vera juice.

i haven’t ever heard of anyone drinking anything like this, and i actually probably wouldn’t recommend it unless you have a penchant for self-inflicted pain. i was just kinda joking when i suggested it.

hahah.. i think you are right.. i tried to make fresh ginger tea with lemon last night and i barely could get that down..
 
 
Maybe a quick shot?? i dont think it will be to painful..
 
one day.. one day!

Well at least if you use jager it would really be like taking a shot, and it might actually make it taste good. And you would get a nice buzz on top of it - the more I say it the more I like the idea!

hahah.. go for it!!  Let us know how your day starts off!!

Mm.. jager. Sounds like a wonderful way to start every day, but I think I’ll hold all that other garbage, lol!
