Hot drink ideas?

I love to have a nice cup of coffee or tea in the morning.  But I am not drinking regular coffee and dont want a the chemical crap from decaf.  I would drink some herbal teas but it sounds like some of those are not safe either. 

What can I drink?  Any ideas?

  • Hot apple cider- just make sure it's pasteurized.
  • Say what?!? Who says herbal teas aren't ok to drink??? I'm a tea drinker and drink herbal tea all the time and I assumed it was fine during pregnancy being caffeine free. I know red raspberry leaf tea isn't ok to drink because it supposedly can induce contractions but I've never heard of anything else!

     I think it would just depend on which herbs are in the blend you are using.  You can probably look up a list of safe herbs for pregnant women.

    I second the hot (pasteurized) apple cider suggestion.  You can get a tea bag of mulling spices and steep it in the apple cider after it's heated up.... mmmmmmmmmmmm.  Now I want some.

     They actually even sell hot apple cider packets in the tea/coffee aisle around here.

  • Herbal tea is fine, just check the ingredients first.

  • I have been drinking chai tea (made with decaffeinated black tea) with a little milk and sugar. So good.

  • I got the Maxwell House International Cafe mix. You can find it with the coffee, and there are a few delicious flavors that are caffeine and sugar free!
  • I've been drinking plain hot water or hot water with lemon or ginger.For tea, I'm sticking with mint, which is safe.
