Notes
You can keep the rest and consume later at room temperature. Do not reheat the tea as it will lose much of its properties and may also tend to turn acidic. It is best to consume this tea without any sweetener. Otherwise, you may sweeten it to your taste with some maple syrup or other sweetener of choice. This tea can be consumed 2-3 times a day for no longer than 4 weeks.Link to original recipe - Juniper Berry, Star Anise and Fennel Tea - https://veganlovlie.com/juniper-berry-star-anise-fennel-tea/
