What You Need

  • 1 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
  • 250 ml hot water
  • Optional: a small slice of lemon or a little honey

How to Prepare It

  1. Crush the seeds slightly using the back of a spoon. This helps release their natural oils and flavour.
  2. Boil the water and let it cool for 1 minute, so it’s hot but not scalding.
  3. Pour the hot water over the crushed fennel seeds in a cup or teapot.
  4. Cover and steep for 8–10 minutes. Covering the cup keeps the essential oils from evaporating.
  5. Strain and serve. Add lemon or honey only if you want a softer or brighter taste.

When to Drink It

  • After meals to ease digestion
  • Before bed for gentle relaxation
  • Anytime you feel bloated or uncomfortable
  • As a warm, calming drink during the day

Extra Tips

  • For a stronger flavour, use 1.5 teaspoons of seeds.
  • For a smoother taste, mix fennel tea with chamomile or mint.
  • If you prefer cold drinks, let it cool and refrigerate for a refreshing iced herbal tea.
