Pages: 1 Fennel Tea taste       #339510 - 12/16/08 08:34 PM Edit Reply Quote pharmacist25 Reged: 12/12/08 Posts: 17 Can anyone help me with the fennel tea. Every time I drink it all I think of is sausage. To me it tastes horrible. If anyone can offer any tricks other than honey, sugar, lemon, or orange I would greatly appreciate it.

I had the same problem with it at first. You will get used to the taste, but I had to chug the first couple of glasses before I could drink it comfortably. It's like beer or wine, it's an acquired taste, I guess. The only mixers I can think of are the ones you mentioned. I myself like the peppermint teas soooooo much better! -------------------- IBS-C, Gas, Bloating, HURTING! I'm married and it's so wonderful!

I don't mind it myself, although I'm not crazy about it. To spice it up a bit I add another tea bag with my favorite tea flavor (so I end up having two tea bags in my cup). The mug I drink from actually hold two cups so the final brew isn't too strong. Right now I'm actually sipping a fennel/apple-cinnamon tea . -------------------- IBS-C, bloating, cramps pregnant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Flavored Teas/Zara       #339522 - 12/17/08 07:13 AM Edit Reply Quote Kappy Reged: 10/09/08 Posts: 852 Loc: Mississippi Ooooh that sounds good.

But back in the US I used to get the Celestial Seasonings brand, they have a good selection of flavors and made the fennel tea a lot more tasty . -------------------- IBS-C, bloating, cramps pregnant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Flavored Teas/Zara       #339530 - 12/17/08 09:42 AM Edit Reply Quote Kappy Reged: 10/09/08 Posts: 852 Loc: Mississippi Thanks for the advise!
