Fresh Mint and Fennel Frond Tea

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
Fresh Mint and Fennel Frond Tea

There are several vegetable trimmings that just don’t belong in an all-purpose homemade stock: cilantro, lemongrass, ginger, mint and fennel, among other ingredients. Their flavor is either too strong or incompatible with the flavors of traditional root vegetable trimmings. Using these ingredients to make fresh tea is a great way to use up these delicate yet potent leftover ingredients, and a healthful way to enjoy their clean and crisp flavors. When making fresh tea, use very hot (but not boiling) water—it can break down and destroy the herb’s beneficial oils and unique medicinal properties. I made this mint and fennel tea the other day and it tasted fantastic. It yielded a beautiful pale green color and the flavors complimented each other perfectly.
