RRL Tea: blecch

[maisiedotes]

:Puke
I just don't like it (now that I FINALLY made a cup..) do you all add anything to it to make it taste better? I am using traditional medicinals but ick. It is making me thirsty. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[chrysalis]

are u drinking just the RRL tea they make or the pregnancy tea or mothers milk they also make? i personally don't mind the RRL alone, but the others have a strange taste if you ask me. think its the pg tea. ick! i'd add some honey, maybe?

I have the organic raspberry leaf from traditional medicinals and I put sugar in . I still don't find it to be something I would choose to drink for pleasure but its doable. I thought about making iced tea with it??

I don't add anything to it (also using Traditional Medicinals) but I find that if I drink it with some oatmeal cookies, it's much better!

I don't mind the taste, but it sometimes give me vicious heartburn.

I mix the leaves with some nettle and dandelion root (now THAT tastes nasty on its own) and maybe a couple bags of a fruit tea or something and make a big pot of iced tea. And I throw in stevia and some sugar. It's easier for me to drink it iced.

Not in your DDC, but you could mix it with other teas like chamomile or peppermint. you could also drink it cold.

[Googy]

I add sugar too. That's the only way its palatable for me.

[mothragirl]

you can buy it encapsulated instead.

sugar + honey = liquid candy RRL tea but it was
drinkable to me!

I didn't enjoy it at all with my other two pregnancies, so I haven't even tried it this time. I forced it down the other two pregnancies though. I just made a huge batch, put it in the fridge and would down it as quickly as possible with lots of ice.

I don't mind it. Lately I've been drinking it iced.

[scatterbrainedmom]

not in your DDC, but i brewed mine with apple juice. i even made a huge batch and froze it in ice cube trays for labor.

Oddly, I love it and look forward to the end when I can drink it again!!! I simply add about a tsp of honey.

Sometimes I'll put some sugar in and put it over ice. That's good too. I'm not sure what brand I'm using but regardless of the brand, I pretty much love this tea.

Hopefully you come to at least tolerate it. If not, it is sold in pill form.

I just had another thought -- sometimes I mix the iced tea with a little apple juice or cider. You could do the same thing with it hot.

I LOVE RRL tea! I like it best cold, but I don't add anything to it. I could easily drink more than a quart a day.

[cheeseRjedi]

I load mine up with agave nectar. omg it's so good.

Good- would you please drink my share? I am going to try the cider/ juice thing. I didn't think of that.

Thanks everyone!
