Don't worry...       01/09/04 11:18 AM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA it's no harder than using a tea bag. Once you have the fennel in your tea ball or strainer, just put it in your cup, add the boiling water, and let it steep for several minutes. Taste to see if it's strong enough. You can treat the tea ball just like a tea bag - the only difference is that the ball is metal and re-useable while the tea bag you'd use once and throw out. They're really both just little flow-through containers for the tea inside. You can also find tea pots that have strainers built in, so you can brew a whole pot with the loose fennel, then as you pour out an individual cup the lid of the pot will keep the loose fennel in the pot, so you just get brewed tea in your cup. No fear - it's pretty hard to mess this up! The only thing you don't want to do is actually boil the fennel (or any other herbs or teas). This will destroy the volatile oils. Other than that, any way you brew it will work. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
