Fenugreek is an herb that's popularly used for a variety of home remedies. While not all of them have been verified by research, the tea is nonetheless delicious. Studies do show that fenugreek may help breastmilk production, so try a lactation tea that includes nettle leaf and red raspberry leaf. You can also simmer fenugreek seeds with water for a simple tea that has a slight maple syrup flavor.

Ingredients

Basic Fenugreek Tea

  • 1 tablespoon (11 g) of fenugreek seeds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) of water
  • Honey or agave to sweeten, optional

Fenugreek Tea for Lactation

  • 1/2 cup (12 g) of dried red raspberry leaf

Making Basic Fenugreek Tea

  1. Step 1 Put 1 tablespoon (11 g) of fenugreek seeds into a pot on the stove.
    Set a small pot on the stove and put the whole seeds into it. There's need to crush the seeds as long as you simmer and steep them.[1]

    Tip: Purchase fenugreek seeds in the bulk section of the grocery store, at your local Indian market, or online.

  2. Watermark wikiHow to Make Fenugreek Tea
    Keep the lid off of the pot so you can see when the water begins to boil. There's no need to stir the fenugreek seeds as the water heats.[2]
    • If you'd like to make a larger amount of fenugreek tea, double the amount of tea and water.

    Once the water comes to a boil, turn the burner down to medium so the water bubbles gently. Let the tea simmer until the water turns a pale yellow color. Then, turn off the burner.[3]
    • Stir the fenugreek seeds occasionally to help the tea steep evenly.
  4. Watermark wikiHow to Make Fenugreek Tea
    Set a fine-mesh strainer over a teacup and put on oven mitts. Slowly pour the hot fenugreek tea through the strainer. Then, discard the seeds that are in the strainer.
    • For the most potent, flavorful tea, don't steep the seeds again. If you like, you can eat them.
  5. Step 5 Add honey or sweetener if you want to adjust the flavor.
    Fenugreek tea has a slight maple syrup flavor on its own, but you can stir in more of your favorite sweetener if you like. Stir in honey, agave, or cane syrup, for example.
    • If you like creamy tea, stir in a little milk.

Creating Fenugreek Tea for Lactation

  1. Watermark wikiHow to Make Fenugreek Tea
    Measure or weigh 1/4 cup (45 g) of fenugreek seeds and put them in a bowl along with 1/2 cup (45 g) of dried nettle leaf, 1/2 cup (12 g) of dried red raspberry leaf, 1/4 cup (23 g) of fennel seeds, and 1/2 cup (12 g) of dried lemon verbena.[4]
    • Fenugreek is a phytoestrogen that can improve signs of breastmilk sufficiency. Fennel and dried nettle leaves have been studied as galactagogues, which increase milk production.
    • Red raspberry leaf and lemon verbena improve the flavor of the fenugreek tea.

    Tip: Although some lactation teas include blessed thistle, this bitter herb hasn't been proven to increase milk supply.

  2. Step 2 Stir the dried ingredients and store them in an airtight container.
    Use a spoon to mix the dried herbs and seeds until they're combined. Since this makes 2 cups (138 g) of dried herbal tea (which makes about 100 servings of brewed tea), transfer the tea to an airtight container that's large enough to hold it all.[5]
    • If you store the herbal lactation tea in an airtight container away from direct light, it will last for up to 4 years.
  3. Watermark wikiHow to Make Fenugreek Tea
    When you're ready to make a cup of your lactation tea, measure 1 teaspoon (1 g) of the herbal tea and add it to your teapot. Carefully pour 1 cup (240 ml) of boiling water over the herbs. Keep in mind that you can double these amounts if you'd like to make a larger pot of tea.[6]
    • If you'd rather make the tea in your cup, place the leaves into a tea ball.
  4. Step 4 Steep the tea for 5 minutes.
    Put the lid on the teapot or place a saucer or lid over the teacup. This traps the steam and prevents your tea from cooling as it steeps. Then, set a timer for 5 minutes.[7]
  5. Watermark wikiHow to Make Fenugreek Tea
    Set a strainer over an empty teacup and pour the tea through it or remove the ball if you steeped the tea directly in the cup. You can sip the tea as it is or sweeten it with honey or agave.[8]
    • If you'd like to flavor the tea even more, add a squirt of lemon juice.
    • Drink 1 cup (240 ml) of tea 3 times a day if you're trying to increase milk production.
    • You can get many health benefits from fenugreek seeds in soups, baked goods, salads, and curry.[9]
    • In powdered or crushed form, you can consume fenugreek in capsules, pancakes, herbal tea, and bread.[10]
    • Fenugreek seeds taste better roasted or blended with spices.[11]
