Q & A

A: Morning on an empty stomach, or 30 minutes before meals to help appetite control.

Q: Can I drink it daily?

A: Yes, 1 cup per day is generally safe for most healthy adults.

Q: Can I use ground cumin?

A: Whole cumin seeds are preferred for infusion, but ½ tsp ground cumin can be used in a pinch (strain well).
