Pages: 1 Question about the fennel tea?       #330100 - 05/22/08 01:11 PM Edit Reply Quote budweiser Reged: 05/12/08 Posts: 22 What can you put into the tea to make it taste better? i just got my tea and tried it ...not so yummy! Is sugar ok? Will that make it better? I'll gulp it down if I have to if it works to relieve gas but i would prefer to sit down and enjoy a cup a tea.

Adding things to it may cause more IBS problems. Once you have been drinking it for a while, you will get use to the taste; I did.

In general, people recommend making fennel + something else tea: fennel plus peppermint tea, fennel plus roobios tea, fennel plus chamomile tea, fennel plus black currant tea, etc. Here's one of those old threads: web page Adding sugar should be fine although I have to say that just makes it taste more licorice-y to me.

I tried the Rooibos tea. Not bad but I did find mixing it with Tetleys Summer berrry Blend tasted really good. I actually found that the fennel tea didn't help with my cramping. Even herbal teas don't agree with my stomach. The Rooibos tasted pretty close to reg tea and didn't bug my gut. Thanks again for the info. It's nice to have tea again. -------------------- IBS-D since 1999...mostly stable..i do cheat too.Bad me.

I use anise in my fennel tea. It tastes a whole lot better and adds more power to the less gas and better systolic effects of the fennel. Also, you can add some italian herbs into the fennel tea. It's a really great drink when you're eating italian food! -------------------- Catnut IBS-C for many years, finally diagnosed in 2005. Wheat and dairy sensative.
