甘草根

My chest feels clearer after just a couple days of steeping this in my usual tea rotation, and the natural sweetness means I don't need any honey. The pieces are sturdy and hold up for two infusions before losing their kick.

I steeped a few pieces in hot water for about ten minutes and the taste is naturally sweet without any added sugar. It definitely helped soothe my throat during a bout of seasonal congestion, and I love that I can toss a piece into my regular tea blend for extra warmth.

The root pieces are sturdy and hold up well across multiple steeps, so one pot easily gets me through a congested afternoon. It's become my go-to add-in for cold season, and it does seem to take the edge off my chest tightness.
