Geia sas lovely ladies! Today we're going to be talking about raspberry leaf tea & its health benefits. Let me first say that i can rarely drink hot tea without majorly sweetening it, when i was little i so badly wanted to like it just for the fact that tea parties aren't fun without tea lol.
So my aunt told my mom about this tea & said that its really something every woman should be drinking everyday. It is really good for the female system & helps with menstruation. I've heard its suppose to help with bad cramps but i wouldn't know because i don't usually have bad cramping. Its also loaded with vitamins!
Here's a little blurb about it:
"In pregnancy it was traditionally used to help with nausea, ease labor and delivery, and post- partum recovery. It is also helpful for regulating menstrual period and controlling diarrhea. "
It tones the uterus & improves contractions. It is said to help fertility also.
So these are pretty good benefits if you ask me. However like i said i have a hard time drinking hot tea. So what i do it boil water, pour it in a tall thermos, add 6 tea bags, close the lid, & let sit until cooled. Then i put it in the refrigerator to store & serve as iced tea. (my 'method' is farther down)
This is the brand i use, its the only one i've ever tried. I got it at PicknSave.
I have to say this tea still tastes pretty bad on its own cold or hot.
Method:
in a cup place a few ice cubes
add 1 drop of Stevia & some honey (i can go w/o the Stevia for more honey)
i like it with cut up strawberries or raspberries in it
then pour the tea over it & stir.
Now after some doctoring up it tastes pretty great! Nothing like ice cold sweet tea on a hot day. I encourage all you ladies to try it for your health.
So on that note Stin igeia mas(to our health)!
