The Debloating Power of Fennel Seeds

We use fennel seeds in this recipe for their powerful ability to heal the gut. The seeds may be small, but they pack an impressive amount of essential vitamins and minerals (like vitamin C and magnesium) to help support digestion. They’ll even help curb your appetite to help you lose weight. (1, 2)

Fennel seeds are also rich in antioxidants, which can protect your digestive tract and regulate movement in your gut – reducing excess gas and bloating. (3, 4)

In addition to its gut-healing benefits, fennel seeds have a sweet, mellow flavor that pairs nicely with fresh strawberries.

Mixing Fennel Tea with Strawberry Lemonade

We start this strawberry lemonade recipe by brewing up a tea made with fennel seeds and raw honey. After it steeps for 10 minutes, we strain and chill the tea to get it the right temperature for mixing with our strawberries.

Next, we infuse the fennel tea with puréed strawberries and fresh lemon juice to create a refreshing lemonade. It’s naturally sweet, tangy, and caffeine-free!

Keep it Pulp-Free

Be sure to strain the strawberry purée through a fine mesh sieve before combining it with the fennel tea. This will help remove any extra pulp and seeds while making your strawberry lemonade velvety smooth.

Helpful Tips To Get Started:

• Steep for at least 10 minutes. The longer the fennel seeds sit in the hot water, the more flavor and beneficial nutrients you’ll get in your lemonade.
• Go for the bubbles. Try adding a bit of seltzer water right before serving to make it a spritzer.
