Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fenugreek seeds whole, raw
  • 4 cups water filtered
  • 2 tbsp honey or to taste
  • 1 tsp ground ginger optional, for extra warmth
  • 1 piece cinnamon stick optional, for aromatic depth

Notes

Store leftover tea in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or enjoy cold. For stronger flavor, toast the fenugreek seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before boiling. This tea can be made ahead and reheated, making it perfect for busy mornings.
