F.A.Q PRODUCT INFORMATION

Use 1 tsp or 2.3g of tea leaves for every 8oz (1 cup) of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil at 212oF (100oC). Add enough hot water to submerse the tea leaves and let it sit for a few seconds before pouring out the water.

All you need is fennel seeds and boiling water. Simply steep the freshly-crushed fennel seeds in hot water for around 5 to 10 minutes!


For the best tea drinking experience, here are some tips on how to make fennel seed tea at home:

• Give your fennel seed tea a boost with ginger and lemon! Ginger and lemon are both healthful and flavorful additions to teas. The flavors of fennel seeds, ginger, and lemon blend perfectly, delivering a bold taste. 
• To complement the licorice flavor of fennel seeds, try adding a touch of sweetener. Our version is made even sweeter, thanks to the kiss of honey! Agave nectar and maple syrup are both excellent sweeteners, too. Using palm sugar or coconut sugar in this fennel tea recipe can also do the trick. 
• Mint leaves will add a hint of freshness to your fennel seed tea! You can toss in the fresh mint leaves as a garnish. But for a better-tasting tea, soak the mint leaves along with the fennel seeds.
• Spice up your fennel tea with cinnamon. Simply steep a cinnamon stick in the drink itself. It’ll amp up the taste of your fennel seed tea!

The Ideal Water Temperature
205°F/96°C Is a great place to start for steeping your cup of anise seed tea. Like most herbal teas, anise seed is hardier than true teas like green tea, check out our favorites, and can take a much higher temperature than regular teas can.
This is slightly below boiling so jest let your water sit for a minute after boiling it to bring the temperature down a little bit.

The Steep Time For Anise Seed Tea
Herbal teas tend to take a little bit longer to fully steep than their true tea cousins. Some herbal flower teas can take 7 to 10 minutes or more to really draw out the flavor.

Whether your steep time goes up or down is going to depend on your individual tastes for your cup of anise seed tea. You can go as high as 10 minutes if you feel the need, the anise seed tea can take it.

Serve: 1 heaped teaspoon of alfalfa leaf per cup. Brew with boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Can be served with honey and lemon. Blends well with mint or lemongrass for a flavour boost.
