The Benefits of Red Raspberry Leaf Tea
Red raspberry leaf tea is SUPER beneficial for pregnant women! My midwife recommended I drink one cup of tea for each trimester I'm in (1 cup in the first trimester, 2 in the second, and 3 cups of tea in the third trimester)! That's a lot of tea! Red raspberry leaf tea is known to tone the uterus to help women prepare for labor and birth. For women who are not pregnant, it can help ease menstrual cramps and play a part in regulating the menstrual cycle. It's also full of antioxidants and can help ease digestion.
Peach Red Raspberry Leaf Iced Tea
Cook Time: 20 minutes Serving Size: 6
Needed Tools:
A pot large enough to hold 6 cups of water
A saucepan (or similar)
A large pitcher or glass jar
A large strainer
A spoon or spatula
A large funnel
Ingredients:
1/3 cup of Red Raspberry Leaf tea
6 cups of filtered water
1 lemon
4 cups of peaches (about 3 peaches)
1/3 cup of maple syrup
Instructions:
1. Add water and tea to a pot and bring to a low boil. Once this temperature is reached, turn off the heat and leave the tea on the stove to steep while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Add strawberries to a pan and turn the heat on low. Add the maple syrup. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow the peaches to reduce and the mixture to thicken. Stir frequently to not allow the mixture to stick to the edges of the pot. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
3. Strain the tea into a pitcher or large jar, and discard the tea leaves.
4. Remove the peach mixture from the heat, and add to the strainer over the pitcher or jar. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir the mixture around the strainer to extract as much syrup as possible.
5. Add the juice from the lemon to the mixture and stir thoroughly.
6. Allow to cool in the fridge before enjoying or just pour over a large glass of ice to enjoy immediately!
If stored in a sealed container, this tea should last 2-3 days in the fridge.
