My recent post about hydration stations got me thinking. Water is great, water is essential… but sometimes you want to drink something other than water.
Plus, I don’t know about you, but sleep deprivation tends to send me on sugar binges. Which cause wild mood swings for me, and just bad times in general.
I got to thinking: what would be a simple but tasty drink that mamas could knock together quickly and enjoy? And this is what I came up with:
Simple & tasty mama tea
You can sip this nourishing and delicious tea throughout the day. I’ve found that it’s also helpful for keeping me hydrated enough for breastfeeding:
In a quart jar (such as a canning/mason jar), add one quart boiling water to:
- 1 star anise
- Slice of fresh ginger
- 1 tsp. hibiscus
- Some fragments of a cinnamon stick
- Honey to taste
Steep 20–30 minutes.
Strain into a mug and enjoy!
