What This Drink May Do

 Notes & Tips

Soak the fenugreek overnight if you prefer a milder taste – it reduces bitterness. 
Use whole spices when possible; they often release flavor more gently.
✔ Add a tiny dash of lemon if you like a zesty finish — it doesn’t affect blood sugar negatively.
✔ Don’t add sugar, honey, or sweeteners if you are trying to manage glucose levels.
