Curry Leaf is a herb, native to India and is used for flavoring. They are tender and have a great aroma. I have been reading a lot about curry leaf paste, tea, oil and its benefits for skin, hair and overall health.
The tea was interesting and was very happy to find something healthy to replace green tea(I canont have green tea without sweetener)and it tasted really good. Since then, I drink it lukewarm every morning, on empty stomach with a tsp of lemon juice 🙂
It is easy, quick and you can make in batches 🙂 The best way to replace sugar/honey is fennel seeds. These seeds help in eliminating the natural bitter taste of the leaf .
So, to make the herbal tea –
You need:
Water
Handful of fresh curry leaves (chopped/whole)
2 tsp of fennel seeds (whole/powder)
Lemon juice – before you drink
Brewing the tea :
Boil a small amount of water
Add curry leaves and fennel seeds/powder and cover it.
Boil on medium heat for 10 more minutes.
Turn off the heat and let it sit at least 6 hours (preferably overnight @ room temperature).
Strain and when ready to drink, warm it and add lemon juice.
Brew large quantity :
Strain and Store in a glass container. If cooled immediately it can stay up to 5 days.
Happy Tuesday!

Hi, I am very delighted that you stopped by! Welcome to Creative ME!!! I 'm a wife to an amazing hubby and recently mother to an adorable little munchkin :-), an Asian(Indian) native, nomad for a while and now currently @Portland, Oregan. Recently relocated from The Grand Canyon State and still adjusting to the gloomy weather here...
When we first we moved to US(2012) ,our first 2 months of accommodation was in a hotel and that's when everything started.
You must be wondering HOW?
I was introduced to HGTV and started reading craft blogs.
Ohh yes, PINTERST toooo and that is my fav!
Well, inspired from these places, I started to DIY on budget and decorate our home. Whenever I posted pics of my projects on Facebook, everyone loved and gave many positive comments. Some of them also said I should not look for a job, instead start a blog or sell some of my projects ;) They thought I was doing something very cool!! That was a great motivation and I decided to tickle my creative senses to tame the stress monster ;-)
And then, one day here is my blog , where I share my ideas and projects with friends, family and all other aspiring DIY-er's :)
And if you like my blog, please come back and also don't forget to tell your friends :)
Lastly, if you have a fun and functional craft or project or even a simple recipe I want to hear….please let me know and I can feature, down the line we will make Creative ME to WE..;)
