Yes, it's great for digestion, and it's cleansing, and if you suffer from low blood pressure the liquorice in this will help (avoid if you're pregnant or have high blood pressure). But the taste.... It is breathtakingly sweet. It's like being walloped in the face with an enormous bag of sugar. Not even sugar, but aspartame - it's artificial tasting, despite being real ingredients. And there isn't really anything else to it. There's an initial taste of...something (you don't have time to work out what it is), and then BAM! Just sweetness, without any discernible flavour. It strips all the moisture from your mouth and that lingering sweetness just stays with you...and stays...and stays. Ginger said she was considering eating a chocolate to get rid of the sweetness - that's how intense it is. This was too disgusting for us to get through more than a few sips (Tulsi's husband didn't make it past one). These are not ingredients that mix well together unless you have unnaturally strong sweet cravings. The word 'sickly' doesn't cover it. This is definitely one to avoid. What's bizarre is that a quick check online brought up a shop selling a box of 50 of these for - get this - £47, on sale from £78! Who...? Why!?Best time of year to drink this: Any time, if you have insane sweet cravings
Best time of day to drink this: After lunch, if you're desperate for dessert and trying to avoid calories
