Prepare to experience a game changer for your digestive system – a tea that combines the powerful properties of three classic culinary spices: cumin, coriander, and fennel. This remarkable tea not only aids in the absorption of nutrients but also stimulates the lymphatic system, promoting overall digestive health

Let’s delve into the impressive benefits of each of these herbs to truly grasp the magic behind this tea.

CCF Tea Recipe

Ingredients:

• ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
• ½ teaspoon coriander seeds
• ½ teaspoon fennel seeds
• 4–5 cups of water

Instructions:

• Heat the water in a stainless steel pot over high heat.
• Add the cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds to the pot.
• Allow the tea to boil for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
• Strain out the seeds and transfer the tea to an insulated thermos.
• Sip on the tea throughout the day for maximum benefits.

Once you make this tea a daily ritual, here are two convenient CCF life hacks for you:

Pre-mix the seeds for the week: Scoop half a teaspoon of each seed into each compartment of a seven-day pill organizer.

• • Prepare a blend in advance: Combine half a cup of cumin, half a cup of coriander, and half a cup of fennel in a glass jar. Shake well to mix. Each morning, add 1 ½ teaspoons of the blend to the hot water.

Remember, it’s crucial to consume this tea hot. Cold temperatures cause constriction, while warmth opens up the blood vessels. The ultimate goal is to enhance blood circulation in the digestive system, enabling it to function at its peak capacity.
