Linda asks…

herbal tea?

Which herbal tea do u recommend to drink while being pregnant.

admin answers:

Ask your doctor you are not supposed to be drinking/ eating herbal products or taking herbal remedies while you are pregnant. If you like tea drink unsweetened good old fashioned tea.. Try not to drink to much because of caffine (you can get it decaf at the store)… But a little caffine won't kill you or harm the baby.

How do you make herbal tea with Damiana, ginkgo and passionflower taste bareable?

I haven't a clue how to make herbal tea. I just know I have never liked the taste of it. Any suggestions on how to mix Damiana, ginko and passionflower, and to taste completely different to herbal tea. I will try and test every suggestion and comment back as well.

Hi there.
Minx's answer with honey works well. Here's another way. Let it cool and mix equal parts with fruit juice, fresh squeezed if possible. I have used this way with kids and they seem to tolerate it quite well. Another way is to cool it and add to a fruit smoothie.
Enjoy!
