Instructions

  1. Heat the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until you have a light syrup.
  2. Add the liquorice syrup or extract and mix well.
  3. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens into a soft paste, about 20 minutes.
  4. Pour the paste onto an oiled surface and let it cool until you can handle it without burning yourself.
  5. Dust the work surface with rice flour and icing sugar, then roll the paste into a rope about 1 cm in diameter.
  6. Cut into small pieces, roll them in a little rice flour and let them dry overnight before storing them in an airtight box.

Variations and tips

Spiced version. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the syrup for a warm, comforting note.
