*From our weekly series: The Sunday Steep* 

My grown kids like to tease me about my lack of bedside manner. Their version of childhood ailments is that I'd respond to everything with four basic questions and suggestions: 1. *Have you been drinking enough water? *2. *Have you been to the bathroom? *3.* How about a nap? *4. *How about a warm bath? *Honestly, I still think those four strategies are perfect for most of life's ordinary wellness challenges! 

I do have one more little strategy, however, for the tummy upset. You know that sour or topsy-turvy feeling that comes from eating too much of a very good thing? I love the [Happy Tummy tea blend](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/happy-tummy-tea/profile) available in our shop if you'd rather not make your own, but if you're faced with a bellyache, this tea recipe is a good choice to get you on the road to recovery:

## Better Belly Tea Recipe

- 1 teaspoon organic [Fennel seed](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/fennel-seed/profile)
- 1 teaspoon organic [Ginger root](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/ginger-root/profile)
- 1 teaspoon organic [Hops flowers](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/hops-flowers/profile)
- 1 teaspoon organic [Sage leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/sage/profile)
- 1 teaspoon organic [Peppermint leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/peppermint-leaf/profile)
- ½ teaspoon organic [Caraway seed](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/caraway-seed/profile)

Combine all the herbs in a [tea basket, infuser, nest or bag](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/catalog/teas/accessories). Pour 1 1/2 cup boiling water over and allow to steep for 3-4 minutes. Add a little raw, organic honey if you'd like it a little sweeter. Sip, relax, and think soothing belly thoughts! This tea is pretty tasty, so feel free to enjoy the recipe even if you don't have an unhappy stomach.
