I came across this interesting reference in a news article:

http://www.dailystar.com.lb/features/05_02_03_b.htm
"Lebanese winter dishes the perfect recipe to fight the cold"

This article about Lebanese winter dishes includes a reference to "the
famous aynar drink made of herbs and spices, the essence of carnation, and
loose tea leaves. ³Aynar is very healthy and is usually used to fight colds
and coughs,² Maya Khoury, a 30-year-old dietician, explains. ³And if a
mother is breast-feeding her child, drinking aynar helps her increase her
milk.²"

Note the reference to colds and coughs, I wonder if Aynar contains
fenugreek?
