Sweet,
earthy and strongly flavoured with a pervasive aniseed, resinous
flavour. Used in desserts, tea infusions or savoury cooking
as well as medicines. In China, liquorice is a crucial flavouring
for a master stock and adds a distinctive flavour and scent
to many savoury dishes. Liquorice also is widely used in European
sweets and desserts and is useful infused in sweet syrups,
creams or even ice creams. As a general rule, the smaller
the particle size, the stronger the flavour as more surface
area is exposed and more of the essential oils released.

Add to a stock - especially beef or lamb for a deep, earthy
sweetness.
