CCF tea has been used for centuries in Ayurveda to aid digestion, nutrient absorption, and detoxification.
Ingredients
3 cups water
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
How to Make It
In a small pan over high heat, bring water to boil.
Turn off the heat.
Add coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds and let steep for at least 5 minutes.
Strain into a thermos and drink between meals.
To get into the habit of making this tea daily, add half a cup of cumin, half a cup of coriander, and half a cup of fennel to a glass jar and shake well to mix. Just use the ratio of ~ 1 teaspoon CCF Tea for every 1 cup of water. For a stronger brew, boil the tea for 10 minutes.
Optional additions: a slice of fresh ginger to add a little more heat to your digestive fire or a squeeze of lime if you need some cooling.
