Jethimadh Sticks (Liquorice Root)

Jethimadh sticks, also called mulethi or liquorice root, are dried, woody sticks that taste sweet and slightly earthy. People simmer them in water to make a mellow herbal tea or add them to spiced chai. Some people simply chew a small piece as a natural sweet stick.

What Jethimadh Sticks Taste Like

Jethimadh sticks have a sweet, warm taste with a faint aniseed note. The flavour is gentler and more woody than black liquorice sweets. The sticks are pale yellow-brown and firm, and they do not soften until they are simmered in water.

The sweetness is strong, so a small piece goes a long way. Most home cooks use one short stick for a cup or two of water.

Ways to Use Jethimadh Sticks

  • Simmer a piece in water for a simple liquorice root tea.
  • Add a stick to masala chai along with ginger, cardamom and cloves.
  • Include it in a homemade kadha or spiced herbal drink.
  • Add it to a pot of tea leaves or a loose herbal tea blend.
  • Chew a small piece slowly as a sweet stick.

How to Make Tea with Jethimadh Sticks

To make jethimadh tea, break a stick into small pieces and simmer them in water for about 10 minutes. Snapping or lightly crushing the stick first helps release more flavour, because the wood is dense. Strain the drink before you pour it, as the pieces stay hard and woody.

If you like a stronger taste, simmer for a little longer. A short stick gives a light, sweet drink, and a longer simmer gives a deeper, more earthy one.

Jethimadh Sticks FAQ

Is jethimadh the same as mulethi?

Yes, jethimadh and mulethi are two names for dried liquorice root. You may also see it sold as yashtimadhu.

Do jethimadh sticks taste like liquorice sweets?

They taste similar but milder. Black liquorice sweets are made with sugar and extra flavouring, while the sticks are just the dried root with a natural sweetness.

Can you eat jethimadh sticks?

Many people chew a small piece for the taste, but the sticks are tough and fibrous. Most people prefer to simmer them in water and drink the infusion.

Add jethimadh sticks to your basket for your next pot of chai or herbal tea.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging.

Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect.

Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
