Ingredients
- 8 cups red raspberry leaves
- 3 cups alfalfa leaves
- 3 cups peppermint leaves (if you're nursing, replace this with fenugreek as peppermint can decrease your milk supply)
- 2 cups nettle leaves
Directions
-
Combine herbs and store in an air tight jar or container.
-
To make hot tea, pour 1 cup boiling water over 1-2 Tablespoons of the tea mix. Let it steep for about 10 min. Remove the leaves and sweeten if desired.
To make a big batch of cold tea (my favorite)
-
Pour about 8 cups of water over 4 c. of leaves and let steep for about 2 hours.
-
Strain the leaves and pour the liquid into a gallon container. Fill the container the rest of the way with water. Sweeten if desired.
-
Place it in the refrigerator until cold. This tastes great on a hot day!
Recipe Notes
If you opt to use fenugreek seeds, the recipe is no longer AIP approved.
