The herb gets steeped with coriander and fennel seeds -- a nice break from the usual herbal tea assortments. Directions Bring water to a boil. Steep thyme and the coriander and fennel seeds for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve. Serve warm or chilled. Strained tea can be refrigerated up to 1 day. Cook's Notes Stir honey and a squeeze of lemon into tea, if desired.
