Tummy Soothers
Ten organic essential oils pressed into a molasses-dark lozenge that smells like a spice market and tastes like the best after-dinner mint you have ever had.
What It Is
Tummy Soothers are small, firm candies built on a base of organic molasses and slippery elm, with a blend of ten essential oils: peppermint, cardamom, fennel, anise, spearmint, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and more. That list reads like a spice cabinet raid, and the flavor backs it up.
Slippery elm is a tree bark long used in folk remedies and traditional herbalism, and it gives these a slightly earthy, smooth quality that grounds all those bright oils. The result is not quite candy, not quite a cough drop. It is its own thing, and it is good.
What To Do
Eat them after a heavy meal, keep a few in your bag for long car rides, or reach for one when your stomach feels unsettled and you want something that is not medicine. They are strong without being harsh, and the spice lingers in a pleasant way.
Store them somewhere cool and dry so they do not stick together. They are sweet enough to satisfy a candy craving and interesting enough that you will keep thinking about what you are tasting.
