Best way to brew fennel tea       12/18/04 11:11 AM Edit Reply Quote MarkE Reged: 12/18/04 Posts: 1 I've been experimenting with ways to brew the fennel tea for best taste and probably potency. I tried all of tea ball, strainer, coffee maker, and most recently a french press (or bodum). The best results for me was the french press. I was so excited about the results that I flew to the forum to share it with others. I got the best flavor and the best clarity with this means. I think the reason that it tastes best is because the fennel seeds float and also expand. In free suspension they don't get maximum contact for brewing. In a tea ball once they swell to fill out the tea ball it doesn't brew as effectively. My technique was to put the seeds in the bottom of the french press. Ad boiling hot water, then press down the press just enough to keep all the seeds submerged (not all the way down). I brewed for 4-minutes, pushed the press down the rest of the way, served my tea. It is wonderful! - Mark Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
