Hilde Hemmes Herbals Fenugreek Tea 100g, Loose Seed
Fenugreek seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is known to have demulcent (coats mucus membranes), appetite-stimulating and anti-inflammatory* (external use) properties.
Herbal teas are best stored below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and in a dry environment.
Directions
Traditionally, a hot infusion is one of the simplest ways to prepare most dried herbs for use as a tea. To prepare each hot infusion, take one heaped teaspoonful of the herbs and pour one cup of boiling water over them. Cover the cup with a lid or saucer. Allow the mixture to steep for 3-5 minutes and strain before using.
A decoction is the method used for herbs such as roots, bark, twigs and berries. To prepare a decoction, take one heaped teaspoonful of herbs and place them in a saucepan with one cup of cold water. Bring the mixture to the boil, simmer for 10-15 minutes (longer if the roots are very hard) and strain before drinking.
If not using the tea straight away, you can store it in a covered jug or container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and gently warm the mixture before drinking.
