Use a tea strainer!       01/06/04 06:34 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Pretend the fennel seeds are loose leaf tea. Brew them in any kind of big tea ball or mesh strainer just like you would brew loose tea. You don't have to crush them with a mortar and pestle - that just makes the tea a little stronger. But even if you crush the seeds, you still need to put them in a strainer to brew them. No need to have loose seeds floating around - yuck! And for Bev...you can mix the fennel and peppermint together in a strainer, then brew. That really helps hide the fennel taste if you don't like it. If you brew with loose teas, the results will be MUCH stronger than brewing from tea bags, because you're starting with a larger leaf, higher volatile oil herb. Stronger tea means more effective results for IBS symptoms! - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
