Nursing Mama Tea

Ingredients
  

  • 2 parts red raspberry leaf
  • 2 parts nettle leaf
  • 1 part spearmint leaf
  • 1/2 part fenugreek seed optional
  • 1/2 part motherwort optional; good for anxiety

Instructions
 

  • Pick a weight measurement, say, 1 oz. and use that for each "part."  Blend together and keep in a big bag or a glass jar.  Since it's dry, I just use a bag
  • Put a big handful into a pot of cold, filtered water to brew. (I'd estimate I use about 3/4 c. for a half gallon). 
  • Bring it to a boil, then shut it off and let it steep for a few hours. 
  • Strain, discard the herbs, and sweeten lightly if desired. I like to add 1 - 2 tbsp. of raw honey per half gallon.
