Can the syrup be added to tea or other drinks?

Yes, the liquid form of this syrup is designed for exactly this kind of use. You can add it to warm tea, a herbal infusion or simply to water — this is convenient if you do not want to take the product ‘neat’. One important point: add the syrup to a drink that has cooled to a comfortable temperature, not to boiling water — high temperatures can reduce the activity of vitamin C.

Liquorice itself has a pronounced sweetish taste with a slight bitterness, so the syrup goes well with neutral or herbal teas. Taste-wise, it also works well with green tea or a ginger drink.

If you take the syrup during periods of heavy voice use or in the cold season, it is handy to keep it on your desk next to a thermos — that way it is easier not to miss a dose. Store the opened bottle according to the instructions on the packaging, usually in a cool place.

This is a food supplement, not a medicine, so it does not replace a balanced diet or adequate fluid intake. If you have a chronic cough, a high temperature or feel worse, you should see a doctor.
