The choice of licorice
Licorice is the main ingredient of this recipe. In fact, thanks to its expectorant and mucolytic properties, it is an excellent remedy for coughs. Furthermore, acting positively on the stomach, it is indicated for the treatment of gastritis and stomach acidity because it acts. as an antispasmodic of the smooth muscle of the stomach. The mucilages present in licorice root help to remedy stomach acid and actually licorice produces an inhibiting and direct effect on heartburn.

The choice of ingredients is not accidental. Agar agar, used as a thickener for pudding, is indicated to counteract stomach acidity: the mucilages present act as a natural antacid.
Fructose is preferable to sugar because it has a lower glycemic index: let's briefly remember that carbohydrates such as sugar and honey have a high glycemic index and can cause digestive difficulties.
Rice milk can be replaced with other types of vegetable drinks (eg almond milk): rice milk is easily digestible, therefore recommended to counteract stomach acid.- When the mixture boils, pour it into pudding molds or glasses, then let it cool for an hour.
- The licorice pudding is ready.
Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
The licorice pudding is a palliative to counteract stomach acid and should not be understood as an alternative cure! I recommend that you follow a "healthy and light" diet, limiting alcohol, foods rich in salt, carbonated drinks, foods that are too cold to the maximum. overcooked protein-rich foods, raw meat and fish, connective-rich foods and fatty foods that slow digestion and increase the time the food stays in the stomach.
For cough problems, make licorice syrup at home!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
