raspberry leaf tea?????????

[bakedbeanleg]

hi all, i've just had a thought... when i was trying to induce my labour i drank loads of raspberry leaf tea and i've got loads left, does anyone know if it would be aloud on LT? i know raspberry is a fruit, but it is just the leaves in the ingredients.... hmmm? it is rather yummy

big no no you can only have leaf teas....sorry

Ive heard about it for inducing labour but I cant help you I thought it was just peppermint tea

[pizzle84]

I currently drink normal tea, redbush tea and white tea. You cant have any fruits at all so its only leaf teas

big no no you can only have leaf teas....sorry

I had this debate with my friend just last night - the tea doesn't contain fruit juice it's made from the leaves of the raspberry plant. I didn't dare try it (I'm on CD) but she (on LL) assured me it's okay. I guess you'd need to check with someone official.

well thats what i thought, it doesnt have any raspberrys in it, it apparrently is just the leaves of raspberries, but i thought it sounded too good to be true!

[pizzle84]

Oh well if it is just the leaves and it is ok id give it a go! Id check 1st before trying it. Whens your next WI?

[bakedbeanleg]

i might give LT a ring tommorrow or monday, i have the tea coming out of my ears (my mum was VERY keen on my baby coming on time...) so i thought it would be a nice change from peppermint and nettle! i'll let you all know what the outcome is!

[pizzle84]

Please id love to know. Does it taste of raspberrys??

[bakedbeanleg]

mmm? i cant remember, i think it tasted herby (which maybe means it shouldnt be allowed)

[pizzle84]

Hmmm maybe. Well fingers crossed!

Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sounds yummy! Let us know if it is allowed coz I might give it a go - I hate normal tea without milk but am planning to give the peppermint tea a go.

it's allowed! okay, so it's not THAT exciting, but it's something else to drink besides water, and sparkling water! drink until your heart's content! x
