Why this chamomile fennel tea recipe works
The method uses a measured amount of the featured ingredient and surrounds it with familiar Indian flavours. That matters because herbs, flowers, seeds and leaf powders behave differently from ordinary masala: careful timing preserves aroma, controlled heat prevents bitterness, and a final sour or fresh element keeps the finished dish balanced.
The cup is floral, softly anise-like and lifted by orange peel. The recipe also uses ordinary pantry measurements, so it is easy to repeat. On the first attempt, follow the quantities exactly; make only one change at a time on later batches. That is the simplest way to learn the ingredient rather than hiding it under excess spice or sweetness.
