Ingredients
- 1-inch piece Fresh ginger root, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Dried peppermint leaves
- ½ teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon Dried chamomile flowers
- 2 cups Filtered water
- 1–2 teaspoons Raw honey
- ½ teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Measure one 1-inch piece of fresh ginger root and slice it thinly to increase surface area for optimal extraction in your tummy tea recipe.
- Place the sliced ginger into a heat-safe mug or teapot designated for this tummy tea recipe.
- Add one tablespoon of dried peppermint leaves to the mug with ginger for your tummy tea recipe base.
- Measure and add one-half teaspoon of fennel seeds to the mug containing the other herbs for your tummy tea recipe.
- Add one teaspoon of dried chamomile flowers to complete the herbal blend in your tummy tea recipe.
- Boil filtered water until it reaches a rolling boil, then remove from heat for one minute before pouring—this tummy tea recipe brews best at approximately 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pour two cups of hot water over the herbs in your tummy tea recipe, ensuring all ingredients are fully submerged.
- Cover the mug or teapot to prevent volatile oils from escaping, which preserves the therapeutic properties of your tummy tea recipe.
- Steep this tummy tea recipe for exactly ten minutes, allowing the herbs to fully infuse and release their digestive properties.
- Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a serving cup, pressing gently on the herbs to extract maximum benefit for your tummy tea recipe.
- Add one to two teaspoons of raw honey to your tummy tea recipe while it’s still warm, stirring gently to dissolve.
- Squeeze one-half teaspoon of fresh lemon juice into your tummy tea recipe for enhanced digestive and flavor benefits.
- Allow this tummy tea recipe to cool slightly to a comfortable drinking temperature, approximately two to three minutes.
- Sip your tummy tea recipe slowly over ten to fifteen minutes for maximum comfort and absorption of the herbal benefits.
Notes
Crush fennel seeds slightly before brewing to break open the seed coat and increase the surface area available for infusion. Cover your tummy tea recipe while brewing to prevent essential oils from evaporating into the air. Add honey after brewing to preserve its raw enzymes and probiotic properties.
