What is Licorice?

Liquorice/Liquorice is a confection flavoured with the extract of the roots of the licorice plant. The essential ingredients of licorice candy are licorice extract, sugar, and a binder. The binder is typically starch/flour, gum arabic, gelatin, or a combination of any of these. Additional ingredients are extra flavouring, beeswax for a shiny surface, ammonium chloride, and molasses to give the end product the familiar black colour.
