PRINT RECIPE

This flavorful Peppermint Fennel Tea recipe will delight your taste buds and may double as treatment for an upset stomach.

Fennel and mint are both renowned for their ability to relax the digestive muscles, allowing gas to move through the digestive system and relieving the cramping that can occur from eating too much or too fast, or from noshing on something that didn’t quite agree with you. Here, I’ve amplified its effects (and flavor!) by adding a few other carminative, or gas-relieving, herbs.

Craft drink expert Emily Han creates unique flavors in Wild Drinks and Cocktails (Fair Winds Press, 2015).  Han teaches you techniques you need to know to craft your own infused waters, syrups, vinegar drinks, spirits, wines and sodas — each with powerful health benefits and a sentimental nod to drinks of another era. In this excerpt you will learn a delightful peppermint fennel tea recipe that can treat a sour stomach.
