\"Fennel<\/figure>\n

Origin and Plant<\/h3>\n

Fennel originates from the Mediterranean region and spread rapidly from there to the Near East and throughout Europe. The plant belongs to the umbellifer family. A distinction is made between three varieties: bulb fennel, which is primarily used in cooking; herb fennel, which has a sweet aroma and no bulb; and wild fennel from the Mediterranean. <\/p>\n

Cultivation<\/h3>\n

In Europe, fennel grows from September to October.<\/p>\n

Taste and Preparation<\/h3>\n

Fennel has a characteristic, slightly sweet spice. Blends with anise and caraway or combinations with apple juice are popular. The tea can be sweetened with honey or maple syrup and is suitable as both a hot and cold beverage. <\/p>\n

Storage<\/h3>\n

Store fennel seeds in a cool, dark, and airtight place. Whole seeds retain their aroma longer than pre-ground ones. <\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>

Which fennel is suitable for tea?<\/h4>\n

The seeds of herb fennel or wild fennel are used for fennel tea, not the bulb of the bulb fennel.<\/p>\n

How long should fennel tea steep?<\/h4>\n

Usually, 8 to 10 minutes are sufficient for the essential oils of the seeds to dissolve in the water.<\/p>\n
