Fenugreek & fennel seeds
I like to crush the seeds with a mortar and pestle. Some seeds like milk thistle won't release all the components if you don't do this. Powders are also fine, but if you use the whole fenugreek and fennel seed, just make sure you crush them first. The simpler's method and it's been used in herbalism for years. Using parts instead of cups or ounces. It's fine to do things in parts, just make sure if you are converting from a recipe, that you are getting the parts correct. The longer the herb sits the better. I have jars with herbs and alcohol in them that are still steeping after months. It certainly won't hurt to leave them longer and it gives the ingredients time to combine nicely. But make sure you are agitating them every day
