Fennel tea is a delightful and healthful infusion known for its licorice-like flavor and aroma. It’s revered for its ability to aid digestion, relieve bloating, and calm the nerves. Here’s a simple guide on how to prepare fennel tea at home using either fresh fennel bulbs or dried fennel seeds.
Using Fennel Seeds
Ingredients:
1 to 2 teaspoons of dried fennel seeds
1 cup of water
Instructions:
Crush the Seeds: Begin by lightly crushing the fennel seeds with a mortar and pestle. This helps release the oils and flavors.
Boil Water: Bring a cup of water to a boil.
Steep the Seeds: Add the crushed seeds to the boiling water. Cover and let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
Strain and Serve: Strain the tea into a cup to remove the seeds. If desired, sweeten with a little honey or add a slice of lemon for extra flavor.
Using Fresh Fennel Bulbs
Ingredients:
1 fresh fennel bulb (including stalks and fronds, if available)
1 liter of water
Instructions:
Prepare the Fennel: Clean and chop the fennel bulb, stalks, and fronds into smaller pieces.
Boil Water: In a large pot, bring the water to a boil.
Add Fennel: Place the chopped fennel into the boiling water.
Simmer: Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. The longer it simmers, the more pronounced the flavor.
Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a teapot or directly into teacups.
