What does Mother's Milk tea taste like?

I looked a box in the store, and saw anise, fennel, and coriander in the ingredients list.

So, I assume the tea will taste like black licorice and cilantro, naturally. Stick out tongue

I really dislike both of those flavors, so I don't know if I'd be able to drink it...

What do you think it tastes like?

It tastes mostly like fenugreek. It's not particularly yummy to my palate, which is why I buy the capsules

It pretty much tasted like black licorice to me. I don't particularly care for black licorice but I don't hate it like I used to so it was drinkable w/honey. I think the capsules are a better way to go -you still end up burping up the fenugreek taste (kind of licorice-y) but at least you don't taste it going down like w/the tea, lol. (Yeah, neither are great options. The things we do for our kiddos, huh?)

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll try the fenugreek capsules first. I just don't think I'd be able to choke down a cup of black licorice-y tea!

I hear fenugreek kinda tastes like (and makes you smell like) maple syrup. Is that accurate?

It tastes more minty than anything to me. I super HATE black licorice and I never got that out of the tea.

It's definitely not my favorite, but not too bad.

It did not taste like black licorce to me, which i dont like. It was ok. It worked better for me than the fenugreek. I wish I still had it and I would give it to you so you could try with out buying.
