Coriander, Cumin and Fennel Healing Benefits of CCF

CCF Tea - Coriander, Cumin and Fennel (adapted from The Whole Journey) Sip 1- 1½ cups during the day. Makes 3 cups 1/2 teaspoon whole coriander seeds 1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds 1/2 teaspoon whole fennel seeds 3 cups room temperature filtered water Grind together coriander, cumin and fennel (CCF) seeds in a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder. Bring water to a boil without covering the saucepan. Add the ground CCF mixture. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 3-4 minutes to infuse flavors and nutritive properties. Strain and let it cool completely Add lemon or lime and raw honey if desired. Chill if you like cold beverages. I personally find it more soothing warm. Can be made in bigger batches. It will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator. Healing Benefits of CCF Tea Cumin, coriander and fennel tea (aka CCF tea) has long been revered as an Ayurvedic method to improve digestion.
