Tip
30g ginger will result in a strong ginger flavour and warmth. For less, use 15-20g
Sugar is optional. Add more or less, according to your taste. You can always omit it, taste then stir the desired amount of sugar/sweetener into it once prepared.
This is an excellent immunity booster or tea for when you are feeling under the weather.
This recipe yeilds approx. 600-650ml.
I can hear you doubt the fennel and maybe even star anise, but trust me, it's great!
I learnt this recipe, not exactly, from a wonderful Fijian Indian lady who is now a close friend. It's not exactly her recipe because hers is different everyday. You do not need to be exact with your recipe. Use what you have. Omit ingredients or substitute for ground powders if needed.

Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl. -

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
