Just to clarify, the stuff I was describing was used to make the liquorice
water, or as my uncle called it, sugarelly water. But my uncle would chew on
it as a substitute for sweets (candy). You were meant to add it to water,
much as the recipe you quoted does. Pretty sure he said it was not like the
bootlace liquorice I knew and described in that recipe, though.
