Ricola Cough Drops Original Herb Bag 75g is the classic cube-shaped Swiss herbal drop that has been delighting fans for decades, made with Ricola's time-honoured extract of 13 Swiss Alpine herbs and finished with menthol and mint for a warm yet refreshing taste. This is the traditional sugar-sweetened version, loved for its full, rounded flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Drop That Started It All\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRicola's Original Herb sweet was first created in 1940 and has barely changed since - and there is a good reason for that. Its distinctive flavour is aromatic, slightly earthy and naturally sweet, with a cooling lift from menthol, peppermint oil and mint oil. Plain caramel gives the drop its familiar amber colour, and the little cube shape is instantly recognisable to anyone who has grown up with Ricola. It is comforting like a cup of herbal tea and fresh like a breeze off the Alps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eClassic Sweetness\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version of Original Herb is made with sugar and glucose syrup, giving it the rich, traditional taste that many long-time fans prefer. If you would rather avoid sugar, Ricola also makes a sugar-free Original Herb sweet in a 45g box, which uses isomalt and stevia instead. Both share the same herbal heart, so you can choose the one that suits you best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Blend of 13 Alpine Herbs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret behind Original Herb is Ricola's herb mixture, which brings together elder blossom, burnet, cowslip, horehound, lady's mantle, mallow, marshmallow, peppermint, ribwort plantain, sage, speedwell, thyme and yarrow. These herbs are grown in the Swiss mountains by local farmers who avoid chemical pesticides, and Ricola oversees the drying and processing to keep quality consistent. In the Original Herb drop, the extract takes centre stage, giving a full, well-rounded herbal flavour that has become Ricola's trademark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy It Remains a Favourite\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe original Ricola herbal drop recipe, dating back to 1940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade with an extract of 13 Swiss Alpine herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooling menthol with peppermint and mint oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional sugar-sweetened recipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for vegans and vegetarians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGluten free and lactose free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in a nut-free environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural colour from plain caramel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Switzerland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Generous 75g Bag\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bag is ideal for keeping in the kitchen cupboard, office drawer or car, with more than enough drops to share.
