Fennel Seed * Caraway Seed * Peppermint Leaf * Chamomile *
Recipe Instructions: Herbal Tea : Mix the seeds in equal parts. Crushing the seeds makes it easier to extract the active principles. You can do this ahead of time and store a few weeks worth of the crushed seed mixture in a tightly sealed glass jar without losing much in the way of efficacy. 1 to 2 teaspoons herbs to a cup of water, leave to infuse for 10 to 20 minutes and drink 1 cup after the evening meal. Unsweetened tea works best for stomach problems. For sweet tea use stevia instead of sugar or honey if you are nauseous or have heartburn.
