Any suggestions?
I've got the whole roots - they just say to boil them and add honey on the package but as Liquorice Root is 50 times sweeter than sugar - it's not necessary. Blegh.
It supposedly helps with the ulcer problem. So I kind of want to find a way to drink it that doesn't involve pinching my nose and just chugging.

I would not add any sweetener at all to licorice root - it doesn't need it and it already tastes super sweet to me.
You can always dilute it with a bitter tea like chamomile or green tea to counterbalance the sweet of the licorice, you might have to drink twice as much if you only use 50% licorice, but if it tastes better it might be worth it.1 -
when I was needing to drink it I let it cool in fridge had less of a taste and I did "shots" of it lol cause I hated the taste.0

Ahh... Pinch nose and chug it is then. Lol
I've found a recipe online that said to boil it with peppermint and cinnamon. I haven't tasted it yet. I will tomorrow.
hopefully it's palatable. 2 -
I've never boiled the actual roots. Stash teas have a good tasting bagged one. No need for sweetener.2

that's a good idea I hope it's better. I don't like the taste of black licorice even fenel taste too black licorice like for me but the cinnamon in and peppermint should help.
