Fennel seed tea

A member of the carrot family, Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a 
native of Italy and one of the most ancient of cultivated 
plants. The Roman colonization of Italy spread the early use of 
the plant, especially for culinary purposes. Used as a flavoring 
for salt-water fish, it was also used to whiten, tenderize and 
deodorize the meat. The odor of Fennel seed is fragrant and the 
taste is warm, sweet and aggreeable. Similar in taste to Dill 
and Anise, Fennel may be substituted for them in recipes for 
interesting effects. The shoots and stalks can also be eaten raw 
like celery. 

        In addition to Fennel's culinary uses, 
it adds a sharp scent to poptpourris, sachets, perfumes and 
soaps. Fennel is often used with other herbs for its soothing 
effect.
