Notes
Use water heated to exactly 200 degrees Fahrenheit for your tummy tea recipe to preserve delicate herb flavors and beneficial compounds without destroying volatile oils through excessive heat. Steep your tummy tea recipe for exactly five to seven minutes depending on desired strength. Crush fennel seeds immediately before brewing your tummy tea recipe rather than pre-crushing to maintain essential oil potency. Store dried herbs for your tummy tea recipe in airtight glass containers away from direct sunlight.
