Caraway Tea Recipe ...

By Bailey1_

Caraway seed is an ancient remedy for digestive problems, bronchitis, and even colic. Warm tea itself tends to help digestion, but the properties of the caraway seed bring added benefit. The best way to experience the benefit is through tea which is simple to make at home if you have caraway seeds on hand.

Ingredients

• Water
• Caraway seeds

Preparation

Step 1

Place the water in a kettle and bring to boil.

Place your seeds in a tea cup.

Pour the boiling water over your caraway seeds.

Cover the tea cup with a plate or other cover to keep the heat of the water inside the cup.

Pour tea into a second cup through a strainer, straining off the seeds.

Add honey to the tea to taste.

Optional: Steep with mint for added flavor.

Alternatively, you may choose to boil the seeds in the water itself, boiling for 15-20 minutes as a quick method for getting maximum benefits out of your caraway. However, if you are able to wait overnight, your tea will be optimal if you allow it to steep for hours, much like an herbal infusion.

Bring one quart of water to a boil.

Pour boiling water over about three tablespoons of caraway seed waiting in a sauce pan.

This tea will keep in your refrigerator for up to two weeks in a well-sealed container. Simply warm it up when you are ready for a cup of tea. It will also sit well in your kitchen all day long, so you could make a day’s supply of caraway tea each evening before you go to bed. Using this method, you will have a high quality tea all day long, for as long as you need it.
