Cardamom, Coriander, Fennel Tea With Peppermint Oil - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon cardamom seed
1/2 teaspoon coriander seed
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
4 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
1 drop peppermint oil (optional)
1 teaspoon tea leaves (optional)

Preparation

Warm the teapot by rinsing it out with hot tap water. Place all the seeds in the warmed pot and cover with the boiling water.
Steep for 5 minutes and allow to brew to cool. Strain and add maple syrup, if desired.
Note: I have found the peppermint oil is very soothing on the stomach and leaves your breath nice and fresh. One drop of oil is sufficient -- two is overpowering!. It is important to use a brand of essential oil that can be ingested.
