Ingredients:
Blend 1:
2 cups fennel seeds
1 cup cumin seeds
1 cup coriander seeds
Blend 2:
3 cups fennel seeds
1 cup coriander seeds
1 teaspoon pomegranate paste
3 teaspoons grape molasses (or grape syrup)
Rosewater as needed
Olive oil
Spices: saffron, cardamom, dried rose petals
Preparation:
1. In a large frying pan, pour some olive oil and add saffron, cardamom, and dried rose petals.
Once the oil is hot, add one of the two seed blends listed above and gently roast them.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and stir continuously to prevent burning.
2. In a cup of warm water, thoroughly mix the pomegranate paste and grape molasses until completely dissolved.
Pour this liquid mixture into the pan.
3. Add a splash of rosewater, and let the mixture simmer uncovered, allowing the liquid to gradually evaporate.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
4. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and turns into a sticky, aromatic mass.
Once the liquid is fully evaporated, your Chewable Herbal Blend is ready!
This herbal blend helps reduce bloating, stimulates digestion (“digestive fire”), aids in weight loss, and is beneficial for dental health.
You can store it in the refrigerator for 2–3 weeks.
Each day, place a small amount in a bowl on your table.
Every half hour, take a pinch or two, chew it slowly, and when it turns into powder in your mouth, swallow it.
You can enjoy this blend anytime you like.
