Coconut Free Honey Fennel Herbal Tea
Warm, golden, and gently sweet, this herbal tea is the kind of thing you want to wrap your hands around on a slow morning or after a heavy meal. Fennel seeds and fresh fennel fronds work together to create a layered, anise-like depth that feels both soothing and a little sophisticated. A touch of honey rounds out the bitterness, and the optional ginger slices add a quiet warmth that sneaks up on you in the best way. So many packaged herbal teas and flavored blends sneak in coconut-derived ingredients or natural flavors that are hard to trace — brewing your own from scratch means you know exactly what's in the cup. The process is simple: crush, simmer, steep, strain, and sweeten. That's it. It's the kind of recipe that makes you wonder why you ever reached for a tea bag in the first place.
