CUMIN TEA

Surely you know cumin. This spice from Egypt became popular in the Indian subcontinent, Middle East and Mexico – and is well known here in Brazil too. Its most common use is still in cooking, but cumin seeds offer many health benefits that are not always used correctly. For example, the best way to obtain these health benefits is drinking cumin tea , also called cumin broth.
