How to Prepare Saunf Water:
Steep in cold water:
Take 2 tablespoon of fennel seeds and add to 1 litre of water and leave overnight. To make it more effective, you can also crush the seeds lightly in a mortar and pestle.
Boil in hot water:
To make a fresh glass of fennel tea, add ½ tsp of crushed fennel seeds to 500 ml boiled water. Let the mix cool. Pour in a glass and drink.
You can kick start your day by sipping on water in the morning and then have a cup before going to sleep. Begin by drinking 1-2 cups of fennel seed water every day and gradually work your way up to 3-4 cups. Always prepare the fennel water fresh every day and avoid drinking it if it’s a couple of days old.
