Ginger Fennel Spring Tea

If you’re feeling heavy and dull, give your digestive fire a little boost.

Fresh ginger and fennel seed do the work of stoking digestive fire and promoting heat and movement.

Try this simple digestive tea to get things moving. I make a hot pot in the morning and store in a thermos to sip throughout the day...⁠
