Liquorice juice, or 'erk-soos,' has a long history in the Middle East. It's made from the root of the liquorice plant, known for its health benefits and unique taste. People have been drinking it since ancient times, especially in hot weather. The drink has roots going back to ancient Egypt, where it was valued for being both refreshing and soothing. Vendors like the one in this video have kept the tradition alive, serving it from fancy brass containers, just like their ancestors did. The taste of liquorice juice is quite special, a mix of sweet and slightly bitter, making it a popular and culturally rich drink choice.
