Mauby is widely consumed in the Caribbean. I think Baldwins, in Walworth Rd.. south London stock the bark. It will be a faff to prepare from scratch, but batch brewing for a meal or dinner party makes sense if you can get all of the other ingredients too (in Manchester) which I plan to do once my concentrate in bottle has finished.
Check out this video, interesting comment about polarising views of mauby. I personally love it, my GF hates it, possibly since childhood experience. As you will see, influences from China and India here along with native mauby bark. Guyana and Trinidad will have these influences in their cooking too.
Loads of health benefits, lowering blood pressure, helps also arthritis sufferers and reduces risk of diabetes.

I'm imagining a non alcoholic Jägermeister kinda vibe for both, bottle on the right makes me think more cinnamon feels. Round here is Manchester but there's plenty of local West Indian shops, if I get really stuck my old boss from a decade or so back is a slightly post windrush era Jamaican guy who owns the first LBS I mechaniced at and would probably laugh at me and point me in the right direction.
