Method
 

  1. In a small pot, bring 2.5 cups of filtered water to a gentle boil.
  2. Add cumin seeds and fennel seeds to the boiling water. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes to release their flavors.
  3. Meanwhile, soak basil seeds in room-temperature water for 10-15 minutes until they swell and form a gel-like texture.
  4. Strain the tea into a mug, discarding the simmered seeds.
  5. Stir in the soaked basil seeds. Add fresh lemon juice or a cinnamon stick if desired for extra flavor. Sip warm and enjoy!

Notes

Chef Luna recommends drinking this tea in the morning or before meals for best results. Always consult your doctor before adding new foods after surgery.
