Hi noni,
Good to hear from you
About question 1. There are four ways:
- I use tea bags
- onicemile cuts up licorice sticks to the size of matches, and steeps them in hot water for longer than normal tea. I think it takes twenty minutes, with a lid on the tea pot, so it stays hot without boiling.
- Licorice sweets are made out of a licorice syrup. Maybe you can find it for sale in small quantities.
- Licorice sweets dissolve in water or liquor overnight.
About your mom, question 2: she can certainly try. Other teas may help as well, like spearmint, or peppermint. I also have teabags here that are called "Moroccan mint": that is a mint-licorice mixture.
