Ingredients

Instructions

  • To make fennel tea, gently crush 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle to release its oils. You can also use the back of a spoon.
  • Add the crushed seeds to a saucepan or a jug.
  • Meanwhile, boil 1 cup (8 oz.) of boiling hot water and pour it in the saucepan containing the crushed fennel seeds. Once it is done, cover it with a lid. Never boil the fennel seeds as they may lose their nutrients.
  • Let the tea steep for 10 minutes and then strain it in a cup. You can add a teaspoon of raw honey if needed. Enjoy!

Notes

If you are using fresh fennel leaves, fronds, or fennel bulb, chop it into pieces and follow the same steps as above. The steeping time should be increased to 15-20 minutes for its flavor to develop.
