sorry if this question has been asked before, i couldn't find it...for the fennel tea does the seeds have to be crushed and if so how do you crush? I find that when i put the whole thing in my tea 'chopped' or not, there's really no flavour. So i ate a few soaked seeds and whoa, there's all this flavour. Am I missing something here?

Look in your cupboard for a coffee cup with a flat unglazed bottom. A water glass will work, or a glazed cup will work, but best if it's unglazed pottery.

Put a small bit of seeds (like a half teaspoon) on the kitchen counter. Put the cup over them and press down gently, grinding around in a circle a couple times. Scoop crushed seeds off the counter with your hand onto a saucer or into a cup or teapot (or a coffee filter) and pour hot water over them.

Also good for crushing anise seeds or cardamom seeds.

Thanks - I will try this too. I actually tried using a garlic press - IT DID NOT WORK

Kelly - how did your test go?
