"Win the hydration game with this simple & tasty mama tea"

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!
