How to Make Black Licorice (6 Steps)

There are serious side effects that can come with eating licorice. Licorice can increase your blood pressure and can cause water retention, rapid weight gain and difficulties with breathing. Most products that claim to be licorice, including red and black licorice, do not have any licorice in them. Many use anise extract instead. There are several claims that licorice can help with ulcers, sore throats and high cholesterol, but there is no real evidence to back these claims.
