How do you prepare a fennel fruit infusion?

Preparing the infusion is very simple: Simply add a teaspoon of the herb to a glass of boiling water (approx. 250 ml) and let it steep, covered, for about 10-15 minutes. After this time, the infusion can be strained and is ready to drink. If you have dried fennel berries with visible whole berries, you can grind them (e.g., in a grinder) before pouring boiling water over them immediately before use. Uncrushed berries have a less intense aroma.

This ensures that the product is of high quality and that the plants used in its production were hand-picked from the wild in a certified ecologically clean zone or grown on organic farms.
