Doğadan Rezene is a herbal tea packed as 20 tea bags, listed by a major Turkish retailer at 36 g per box. The manufacturer's current listing names just two ingredients: fennel at 92.5% and aniseed. That simplicity is the point of the product, since fennel brings a naturally sweet, gently liquorice-like aroma that many people enjoy at the end of a meal.
Rezene is widely used in Turkish and Mediterranean kitchens, in breads, pickles and sweets, and as a tea it is a familiar after-dinner choice in many homes. Serve it hot in a small glass, plain or with a little honey, and if you like a lighter flavour, simply steep it for a shorter time. On warm days it can be chilled and poured over ice with a sprig of mint.
Pour freshly boiled water over one bag and steep for about five minutes, or as directed on the box, covering the cup to keep the aroma in. Keep the box closed and store it in a cool, dry place, away from coffee and other strong-smelling foods. The retailer lists Türkiye as the country of origin. Pack designs change over time, so the ingredient list printed on your box is the one to follow.
