Method
- In a medium saucepan, add the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, ajwain seeds, and filtered water.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the tea simmer gently for 10-12 minutes. This slow simmering process is crucial for extracting the beneficial compounds from the seeds.
- Turn off the heat. Carefully pour the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into your favorite mug to remove the seeds.
- If using optional add-ins, add them now (e.g., a squeeze of lemon or grated ginger). Stir and enjoy your soothing bariatric seed tea warm.
Notes
This tea is best consumed warm. You can prepare a larger batch and store it in the fridge for up to 48 hours, reheating gently before drinking. Avoid adding sugar or honey to maximize the health benefits.
