Fennel tea is one of the easiest herbal drinks you can prepare at home. It has a gentle, mildly sweet flavour and is often used to support digestion, reduce bloating and provide a calming moment during the day. Iată un text simplu și clar, gata de copy-paste, fără întrebări la final.
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
- Crush the seeds slightly using the back of a spoon. This helps release their natural oils and flavour.
- Boil the water and let it cool for 1 minute, so it’s hot but not scalding.
- Pour the hot water over the crushed fennel seeds in a cup or teapot.
- Cover and steep for 8–10 minutes. Covering the cup keeps the essential oils from evaporating.
- 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.
