Mother's milk tea

Is freaking nasty. I love tea, but this stuff is gross. I put A LOT of sugar in to mask the taste. How many cups a day do you drink? Also have you noticed an improvement in milk production?

I've just been using Fenugreek so far...I've heard so much about the bad taste of this tea it's scared me off! LOL Curious is others have seen a difference with it though. I can tell I have a boost in my supply from the fenugreek alone.

I just made some and it is so gross. I do not know how I am going to drink it and the package says to drink 3-5 cups a day. I put honey in and then added ice to see if it tastes better cold, but it is still so bad.

I drank it in the beginning when my supply was still regulating, and I used to just get it down to lukewarm temps and down it like a shot. I only drank a cup a day but I know women who drink three a day. My supply is great now, but that's probably due to DS nursing eleventy billion times a day as a newborn.

SouthSideDrea:
It tastes like butts. But- I am getting used to it, I drink 3 cups a day when my supply lags, the more I drink it the more I can stand it.

This is how it was for me! I only drink it when it seems as though my supply is low, but the more I drink, the better it is.

I think it taste like black licorice, i hate blacke licorice. But i can stand it. Not that bad. I DO feel like it is making a difference! I have only been drinking one cup a day but plan on drinking two now.

I'm not a huge tea drinker, and I hate black tea, but I don't mind the taste of the Mothers Milk Tea. I drink one cup a day, which helps keep my supply up in the afternoon/evening. If I drink more than that, I'm so engorged by the morning it hurts. I drank 3 cups one day and I leaked through the pads that night and got my bed wet. This definitely helps for me.

i tried the tea, i put one spoon of sugar in it and didn't think it was THAT bad. LOL Worked for about two days, then nothing. Then tried the fenugreek, same thing happened. Then I called my ob and she put me on medicine (which i'm sure some people are against), but so far so good.
