<div style="font-style:italic;">I have been brewing two parts RRL to one part nettle, plus either one mint tea bag or one fruity/berry tea bag. I am not hip on the taste of just the herbs. I would be putting alfalfa in there if I could find it. Aiming for about a quart a day (3ish cups) now that I am in the third trimester, probably more than that when I am a week or two out from my due date.</div>

that's about what I've been doing. I was following the guidelines of 1tsp RRL to 1 cup water. So I boil up 8 c. water (since it will fit in my glass pitcher) and pour it over 10 tsp (3TBS +1tsp) RRL, 1.5 TBS alfalfa, 1.5 TBS nettle, and 2 teabags peppermint. I liked it fine unsweetened without the peppermint, but man the aftertaste was like I'd eaten grass. Not good! The peppermint overwhelms the grass aftertaste <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/winky.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"> I also put a bit of fresh squeezed lemon and some honey, and I drink it cold. I haven't been feeling anything different physically, no crampiness or anything, I guess that's good right?
