Overnight water with cumin, fennel and ajwain
Cumin, fennel seeds and ajwain seeds soak in water overnight. In the morning you strain the water and sip it. The seeds are a small spoon each, not a large dose.
About cumin fennel ajwain water
Put the three seeds in at night and leave the glass covered. By morning the water smells lightly of cumin and fennel, with a warmer note from the ajwain. Strain it so you drink the water, not a mouthful of seeds.
Ajwain is strong, so a teaspoon is enough. This glass does not replace breakfast and it does not promise kilos lost. If your stomach feels hot or uneasy, stop.
