Brewing The Perfect Cup
To unlock the full potential of your twinings fennel tea, patience is key. Whether you are seeking immediate stomach relief or a refreshing cool down, the correct preparation ensures every drop is packed with active botanical compounds. Unlike standard tea, these seeds need time and heat to release their volatile oils, transforming your mug into a potent herbal tea remedy.
Hot Brewing Guide
-
Measure: Place one fennel tea bag into your favourite mug (approximately 200ml).
-
Pour: Fill with freshly boiled water. Do not let it cool first; the heat is needed to crack the seeds' flavour profile.
-
Steep: Infuse for 3 minutes for a balanced cup. If you require maximum digestive support after a heavy meal, leave it for 5 minutes to fully extract the anethole oils.
-
Herbalist Tip: Always cover your mug with a saucer while steeping. This traps the rising steam and prevents the precious volatile oils (the stuff that actually helps your tummy) from evaporating into the air.
Cold Brew Guide
-
Steep 2 bags in 200ml of hot water for 5 minutes to create a potent amber concentrate.
-
Remove the bags and allow the liquid to cool to room temperature.
-
Pour over a tall glass filled with ice and add a slice of lemon or cucumber to enhance the cleansing properties of this refreshing iced fennel tea.
