A traditional Ottoman street drink made by soaking licorice root in water for an extended period. It has a mildly sweet, earthy flavor and is served cold as a refreshing option in summer heat.
Place the crushed licorice root and water in a large container, cover it, and let it soak in a cool place for at least 12 hours.
Strain the mixture through a tightly woven cloth. Add sugar to taste, if desired, and stir.
Chill the drink in the refrigerator and serve in glasses filled with ice.
Important: Keep the container in a cool place while the licorice root soaks; it may turn sour in a warm environment. Caution: Strain the root pieces through a tightly woven cloth to keep fine fibers out of the glass.
