Fennel water has a gentle, slightly sweet flavour that feels calming after meals. It is often associated with easing heaviness and helping the body feel more settled, especially in warmer weather when digestion can feel sluggish.
To make it, add 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds to a cup of warm water. Let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain and drink. It can also be cooled and sipped through the day.
