1882 Recipe for Liquorice Tea

Liquorice Tea 

Bruise half a dozen sticks of liquorice, pour a pint of boiling water over them, and let them steep, under a close cover, until the water is cold. 

 

This was found under the "Preparations for Invalids" section, but does not say when one should drink "liquorice" tea or what symptoms it might treat. If anyone knows some uses, be sure to pass along! Pat Earnest Dover, Delaware, 5 September 2015
