*Chamomile fennel syrup:
- In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves.
- Add chamomile tea bags and fennel seeds to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
- Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and leave the tea bags and fennel seeds in the syrup, allowing the chamomile and fennel flavours to infuse into the syrup for about an hour.
- Remove the tea bags and strain the fennel seeds into a clean, airtight container.
- Store the syrup in the refrigerator. It should last for about 2-3 weeks.
