De Bloating Tea Recipe

All the heavy food and piles of cookies and cakes at holidays took a toll on me. I’m not used to eat that much and I normally don’t have so many sweets in such a short period of time so after a couple of meals my tummy decided to give up on me. I felt all bloated and heavy ever since and suffered in silence before I remembered about this amazing de bloating tea recipe made with fennel and anise seeds, ginger and lemon zest.

I used to drink loads of fennel and anise tea when I was breastfeeding as it was helping me with milk production and was aiding my daughter’s terrible colic but totally forgotten about it. But after I tried several teas in addition to adjusting my diet with no spectacular results, I finally had that “Aha!” moment I needed. I added ginger to this duo because everyone knows ginger helps with digestion and sprinkled some lemon zest and cinnamon for added flavor. I opted for a teaspoon of honey but that’s only optional.

The concoction was pure perfection! And my bloating problem went away within less than half an hour. I kept drinking the tea for several days but only because I really love the flavor and plan to make it a habit as it truly is an amazing addition to my lifestyle. I love sipping a cup of this delightful tea in the afternoon, a great replacement for coffee I would say. 

Fennel and anise seeds are renowned for their medicinal properties for digestive system, respiratory diseases, sore throat or for calming nerves, support immune system and as a great source of antioxidants. They’re also used in soups, stews and some vegetable dishes to make them less flatulent. I also hear fennel and anise seeds help with breast enhancement (wink).
