Mama's Red Raspberry Brew

by Debi Pearl of No Greater Joy Ministries

March 2003

Red Raspberry has a medically proven and trusted track record in helping strengthen the womb of a pregnant woman, and it is also reported to be effective in restoring the womb after delivering.

When I was carrying my babies, I kept a pitcher of Red Raspberry tea made up in the refrigerator so I could drink several glasses a day. I mixed Alfalfa with Red Raspberry so I could double the nutritional value of my daily tea. If I felt bloated like I was holding water, I would add Nettle to the tea. Peppermint was added for flavor and to aid digestion. A simple way of having this tea ready is mixing the dry herbs in a gallon jug.

Ingredients:

8 parts Red Raspberry
3 parts Alfalfa
3 parts Peppermint
2 parts Nettle

Directions

You can make a cup of hot tea by adding 2 or 3 teaspoons of the premixed herbs to 1 cup of boiling water. Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes, strain, and add honey to taste.

To make a pitcher of tea for storing in the refrigerator, use 10 teaspoons or so of the premixed herbs for 8 cups of boiling water. Let it cool for a while and strain. Discard the used herbs, and put the tea in the refrigerator to drink over ice or reheated.
