Good to know

Fennel is good for more than boring tea. With apple, it makes a fresh juice with a gentle aniseed flavour.

Swaps

Lemon → lime (if lemon feels too ordinary, a zingy lime brings a slightly more interesting, exotic note).

Cooking tips

Don't cut off the soft green fennel fronds. You can put them in the blender too, and you'll get a much nicer colour.

Storage

The intense aroma of fennel unfortunately fades quickly in the air. It's best to always make the juice fresh.
