Tips

  • 💡 For a richer flavor, try using a dark roast coffee.
  • 💡 If you prefer a creamier texture, consider frothing the milk before adding it to the coffee.
  • 💡 Feel free to experiment with the amount of licorice root based on your taste preference; more will yield a stronger licorice flavor.
