One cup of licorice tea contains about 31.5 milligrams of glycyrrhizin on average.
Advice is no more than 3 cups of the drink.
How much licorice tea can you drink a day?
The lowest observed dose resulting in adverse effects is 100 mg of GA daily. Hence, using a safety factor of 10, a daily intake of 10 mg GA per person is regarded as an acceptable safe dose. This means no more than 10–30 mg liquorice, i.e. no more than half a cup of liquorice tea per day.
Limit your consumption of products containing glycyrrhizic acid — including licorice root tea — to 100 milligrams per day to avoid adverse effects.
Drinking too much Liquorice Tea can cause high blood pressure. While this can, under certain circumstances, be beneficial, it might also increase the risk of heart disease. We recommend consuming NO MORE THAN two cups daily to limit the chance of this occurring.
You need to limit consumption of licorice tea because excessive consumption can be bad for you. Drinking too much can cause hypertension and hypokalemia, which may lead to cardiac arrhythmias and myopathy.
You may also notice licorice root in many of the sleep teas, however experts suggest exercising caution with drinking this flavor of tea, especially for children and pregnant people. Too much licorice root may cause low potassium levels, weakness in the muscles, and heart rhythm abnormalities.
Research has found several potential health benefits to drinking licorice root tea.
Protection Against Infections. Licorice root contains over 300 flavonoids (plant compounds).
While licorice and its extracts are safe for normal use in moderate amounts—up to about three cups of tea a day—longterm use or ingestion of larger amounts can produce headache, lethargy, sodium and water retention, excessive loss of potassium and high blood pressure.
