Mama’s Ginger Mint Mock-Tea-Ni

Formulated for pregnancy morning sickness, but useful for any nausea (dads love it too!), Morning Wellness Tea settles an urpy tummy with ginger and spearmint along with a hint of peppermint, chamomile and lemon balm. Sophisticated enough for a fancy-pants brunch yet easy enough to make for a crowd, this will be a hit at any tea party!

Ingredients:
1 Box (16 tea bags) Earth Mama Angel Baby Morning Wellness Tea
12 small pieces of candied ginger
24 oz. (2 bottles) Reed’s Original Ginger Ale
42 oz. organic cranberry juice (100% juice)
1 small piece fresh ginger root
3 Tbsp. fine organic sugar

Directions: Brew one box Morning Wellness Tea extra strong with about 12 small pieces of candied ginger and steep for 5-10 minutes. Use approximately. 64 ounces of water and allow to cool with the tea bags still in the water. Refrigerate well and remove tea bags. Add 42 ounces cranberry juice and 2 bottles of ginger ale. Or make your own organic ginger ale, using the recipe here.

Serve in martini glass. Finely grate 1/8 tsp. fresh ginger with a microplane grater and mix with 3 Tbsp. of organic sugar. Before serving, rub ginger root around the lip of the glass (or use water) to moisten, then rim with a mixture of sugar and fresh ginger.

French Vanilla Milkmaid Chai

Milkmaid Tea is formulated to support healthy milk production with fennel, fenugreek, anise seed and caraway seed with nettle and red raspberry leaf. Safe for non-pregnant moms only, this deelish recipe will be one of your favorites. Better tasting than the budget-busting gourmet shop versions, and naturally good for you, you can also vary the total calories easily. We like this hot, but it’s also great iced. If you serve iced, try using creamer frozen in ice cube trays instead of ice to avoid dilution.

Ingredients:
1 box (16 tea bags) Earth Mama Angel Baby Milkmaid Tea
1 small carton French Vanilla soy creamer
Ground organic cinnamon
Ground organic ginger

Directions:Brew one box of Milkmaid Tea extra strong in approximately 64 ounces of water, steeping for 12 minutes. Add French vanilla soy creamer to taste (approximately 1-2 Tablespoons per cup). Garnish with a few sprinkles of ground cinnamon and ginger to taste.

Serves:Approximately 16 Nursing Mamas


Comforting Hot Apple Cider

Formerly known as Postpartum Tea, new Monthly Comfort Tea is blended to jumpstart recovery after childbirth and is also a must-have to help balance regularly at “that time of the month”. Lady’s mantle, cinnamon, lemon balm, nettles, alfalfa and ginger help balance, soothe and ease cramping immediately postpartum, and give relief to cramping and that uncomfortable cranky feeling each month thereafter. Safe for non-pregnant mamas only, this is a favorite tea for drinking any time. The taste is spectacularly spicy and it’s delicious hot and soothing or iced and refreshing.

Ingredients:
1 box (16 tea bags) Earth Mama Angel Baby Monthly Comfort Tea
62 ounces unfiltered organic apple cider
Sprinkle of organic cinnamon or cinnamon stick
