Herbal Teas that don't SUCK!

[expatinscotland]

I'm pregnant so can't mainline black tea anymore.

Am disappointed with the supermarket 'selections' and don't have a Waitrose anywhere near me now.

Any suggestions for good sites to order herbal teas - they must do online orders because I'm out in the sticks.

I think Tick Tock redbush is available mail order. It's caffeine free, low in tannin and delicious IMO
Can be drunk with or without milk

There are none , IMHO. they all smell nice and tastle like diluted piss

rooibos (or red bush) - lovely jubbly

you can get it in most supermarkets now

the really foul ones are the fruit ones ewwwww

redbush is piss!

i saw this tasty ginger one in sainsbury's before i left edinburgh, and i stupidly bought wine instead.

camomile with s spoonful of honey

god, fox, those fruit vile.

i need some hot drink ideas that aren't caffeine or alcohol.

none of the others are tasty

I went through a major caffeine free phase and tried loads and honestly, most of them tasted just awful.

you can get caffeine free tea if it's the caffeine you are worried about?

hot chocolate? (I know there might be a bit of caffeine in there but not as much as tea or coffee I would have thought?)

what about fresh mint - just pour boiling water over it and let it stand for a minute or two - it is really nice

you can add sugar if you need

one of my fave hot drinks was fresh lemon juice, boiling water and a spoon of honey. Delicious.

Of course, even better with whisky

i'm going to have to try . . . [shudder] decaf black tea.

oooooooo.

thanks, Pruners!

i forgot about Whittard's. they're genius, even my dad likes their stuff.

Twinings do a nice one: chamomile, vanilla and honey. More of a bedtime thing though

The only one I like (as it tastes something like it smells) is Twinings blackberry and nettle. Sounds odd but is yummy

Bovril?

(you may well go yuck, but nothing can be as bad as any form of herbal tea, surely?)

I love lemon and ginger.

i've got some Celestial Seasonings ones just now - Tension Tamer and Sleepytime.

they're okay.

was hoping for a little zing, however.

Redbush is not piss you cheeky thing
Everyone send her some Bovril...with a side order of Barleycup

Camomile & Honey is the only one I've ever been able to drink without thinking I was drinking pee

redbush is rankotastic.

it even smells like tree bark.

i don't know how people drink that stuff.

More for us then

Let her drink Clearspring Miso soup with things floating in it

when pg I got addicted to fennel tea and mint tea.
I kept drinking one cup of tea and cup of coffee a day though.
