Raspberry leaf tastes a little like a bitter green tea by itself, and isn't necessarily that tasty, despite it's benefits. We blend our raspberry leaf tea with peppermint, to naturally sweeten it, and also make it a delicious and soothing cuppa! As the peppermint can also help ease acid re-flux and heartburn naturally.
Absolutely. Just like other herbal teas, raspberry leaf tea can be brewed hot and then enjoyed chilled or iced. In fact, drinking it cold may be more appealing for some pregnant women, especially if you're:
- Experiencing hot flushes or overheating easily
- Struggling with morning sickness or nausea
- Craving refreshing, non-caffeinated alternatives to sugary drinks
- Just trying to hit your hydration goals in a more flavourful way
How to Make Cold Raspberry Leaf Tea
Here’s how to enjoy raspberry leaf tea cold without compromising its benefits:
1. Brew It Hot First
Start by steeping your 1 whole leaf tea bag of raspberry leaf tea in 250ml - 300ml boiling water for 10–15 minutes. This helps extract the full spectrum of nutrients and tannins from the leaves.
2. Cool It Down
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. For the best flavour, chill for at least 2 hours.
3. Serve Over Ice
Pour over ice for a refreshing, pregnancy-safe drink. Add a slice of lemon or a few raspberries if you want to jazz it up naturally. To make it as a mocktail, you can add cranberry and pineapple juice or soda or lemonade..whatever takes your fancy!
4. Store Safely
Cold raspberry leaf tea can be stored in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Make a jug in advance for easy sipping throughout the day.
No. Raspberry leaf does not induce labour. It is considered a uterotonic - it may help tone and prepare the uterus so that when labour does begin, contractions are more efficient. Research by Simpson and Parsons (2001) found it associated with a shorter second stage and fewer forceps deliveries, not with starting labour earlier.
Get Up & Glow is specifically formulated with pregnancy safety in mind, unlike other Electrokyte blends. All vitamins and minerals are included at levels consistent with UK prenatal guidance.
It is caffeine free, and each serving contains 400µg of folic acid - the standard UK-recommended daily amount for pregnancy.
