Licorice dates back to the early times of man. Many pharaohs and prophets enjoyed licorice. Soldiers were recorded drinking licorice to quench their thirsts on long marches. During the Middle Ages, crusaders brought licorice back to England. Many years later, a monastery in Pontefract, England began producing licorice candy. History lives on today in these yummy Licorice Pontefract Cakes.
