Red Raspberry Leaf Tea

I have a love affair with tea. And not just any tea -- red raspberry leaf tea! It stopped my migraines and eased the birth of my sixth child.

8 parts red raspberry leaf
3 parts dried alfalfa
3 parts dried peppermint if you’re nursing, replace this with fenugreek as peppermint can decrease your milk supply
2 parts dried stinging nettle leaf

Combine herbs and store in an airtight jar or container.
To make hot tea, pour boiling water over 1 to 2 teaspoons of the tea mix.
Let it steep for about 5 minutes.
Remove the leaves and sweeten with stevia or another natural sweetener.
To make a big batch of cold tea (my favorite), pour about 4 cups of water over 1/2 cup of leaves.
Let steep for about 4 hours.
Strain the leaves and pour the tea into a gallon container.
Sweeten with stevia or another natural sweetener.
Fill the gallon the rest of the way with water.
Place it in the refrigerator until cold. This tastes great on a hot day!
