Rita, this works a treat. I made one half batch and drank it over a day. I also had the bath. Unfortunately I ran out of parsley then and couldn't make anymore. I had to use jarred ginger because I didn't have fresh, but threw half a lemon in the water. I also used tarragon for the aniseed. It needs about a soupspoon of honey to make it taste okay, but really it is so good for you, so just drink it!

    I just love licorice tea, plus mint, chamomile and ginger, so this was just wonderful! I love a little lime and honey in it! Thanks! Made for Photo tag.
