Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Filtered water
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon Chamomile flowers (dried)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
- 1 small piece Cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoon Sugar-free vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of filtered water to a gentle boil.
Add fennel seeds, dried chamomile flowers, fresh grated ginger, and the small cinnamon stick to the boiling water.
Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Let the mixture steep for about 10-12 minutes, allowing the herbs to release their natural oils and benefits.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl or jar. Discard the solids.
Allow the liquid to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, stir in the sugar-free vanilla extract for a hint of flavor.
Transfer the gripe water into a sterilized, airtight container or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
To use, consult your pediatrician for the recommended dosage based on your baby's age and weight. Typically, 1-2 teaspoons may be given, but always confirm for safety.
