Prepare a thermos for the day

It’s best to make 3-4 cups of the tea in the morning, take the tea in a thermos with you and drink throughout the day to flush toxins out of the body.

Add 2 tsp of the CCF seed mix and let simmer on low for 10-15 minutes.

Strain out the seeds and pour the liquid into a thermos.

Sip throughout the day to cleanse the gut and enkindle strong digestion.

You could add a liquorice tea bag to a cup of the hot tea mixture to add sweetness if you enjoy that.
