Juicy and light, with pineapple tang, soft pear and a gentle aniseed finish.
Fennel tea, made from crushed fennel seeds, is a traditional household tea in Germany with a mild, sweetish aniseed flavour. In a smoothie it works as a light liquid that adds aroma without sugar. Pineapple brings juicy acidity and tropical sweetness, and pear gives body and a gentle, grainy softness. The combination is light and refreshing and makes a nice change from the usual juice-based smoothies.
Only slightly; fennel is milder than aniseed and the pineapple dominates.
