How do you make your rasberry tea taste good?

[mom2p.m.]

I'm trying to drink the rrt that is recommended by my mw, but I'm not a huge fan. I am a southern girl so I do like my sweet tea, but the rrt is different. the only way I can tolerate it is with lots of agave nectar. For some reason I can't tolerate sugar this pregnancy, but agave nectar and honey are okay in moderation.

So my question is; for all you ladies who don't like the tea but drink it how do you make it? Do you mix it with other things or add lemon and honey? Just curious

Honey or Stevia.

I add 1 tsp of splenda and a dab of honey to mine.

[She2dancer]

agave nectar and lemon

or 3/4 RRL to 1/4 cranberry juice

Okay, this is SO not the healthiest way, but it's the only way I could make it. Instead of using hot water, I heat up fruit punch and steep the tea in that. Nothing else masked the flavor.

last time i made it, I used two tea bags.. 1 RRL and one celestial seasonings raspberry zinger. Then added honey to that. It was really good!

[madrone]

I don't like the flavour, either, although I used to not mind it much. I steep rose petals in it now to hide the taste.

i just stomach it b.c I want this baby to get here soon. 39+3. It looks like sludge when I let it steep long enough. I am almost afraid to add milk-- it will look like something Swamp Thing would ingest. Bleh!

I drink mine iced with a splash of fruit juice. I don't mind it plain though, but do prefer it iced.

[Devaskyla]

Milk & sugar. But if you combine it with nettle leaf, it doesn't taste too bad plain.

I boil up a pot of water and add about 6 bags of RRL tea and 2 bags of pregnancy tea, then steep it for at least an hour. I add a big glug of honey and drink the first cup hot then put the rest in the fridge for the next day or 2. Even my partner likes the taste of it.

I really like the taste, but sometimes I add cream and honey and it is like a treat

Raspberry Leaf Tea, I think you are talking aobut? I just saw this thread- I am still in the ttc area- but I drink raspberry tea a lot. I happen to LOVE its taste-
But here is a good recipe-

Rapsberry leaf
Peppermint
rosehips

( I also like to add Nettles and Oatstraw personally)

peppermint : I had some Yogi tea that tasted like peppermint and I make it that way now. Maybe a little bit of honey but I love peppermint tea!

[oldaussie]

cop out and take it as tablets here I'm afraid - the tea is just too horrible

[earthymama4]

I had to get my self "used to it" and adapted to it. Now I like it because I trained my taste buds to it. I admit the first week or so, I wasn't a big fan.... and still prefer something a bit sweeter
