Mothers Milk Tea

Hi all! So I decided to buy some Mothers Milk Tea today as no where around here as brewers yeast for the lactation cookies I was planning on baking.

I've never been a big tea fan, but I still thought I'd give it a try. Not liking it....at all. Anything I can do to make it tastier?

    I add Splenda over ice and then chug it.

    I put honey in mine and I think it tastes really yummy :) I also think it makes a nice, relaxing hot drink for bed and when I wake up in the morning, I swear my boobs feel more full than when I don't drink it before bed.

    I have been drinking it 1-3 times per day hot. I basically make it and chug it but it is becoming more tolerable with time. I think it does help... Though I've been doing it all along so I really have no frame of reference. I figure it is a relatively inexpensive way to help boost my supply so I can pump a few times per day and get some freezer storage. If you buy it on amazon it is cheaper as well and you can get it in bulk.

    Does anyone know if you can make a big batch and put it in the fridge? I also hate the way it tastes and feel like this would help me chug it, but I don't know if its medicinal properties start to decay after it's made.

    I make 4 cups each day and keep in the fridge and drink it iced.

    Oatmeal and Gatorade have increased my supply! I drank mothers milk tea when I was nursing my daughter and didn't really care for the taste. I had to drink it really hot and quickly or I would be grossed out.

    Try eating a big bowl of oatmeal and drinking Gatorade through out the day and see if that helps. I drank half a bottle of Gatorade last night and I had to pump in the middle of the night and my son didn't sleep any longer than he normally does but my breast were so full I was able to pump 5oz! I also started eating a big bowl of old fashioned oatmeal for breakfast and I need to add another pump session during the day because I'm still full after nursing.

    Thanks for the suggestions ladies! I put some Splenda in my hot drink last night and it was ok. Never thought about iced though!


    @BeachBabe22 I knew about the oatmeal but had no idea about Gatorade. Wonder of Powerade works?

    Gatorade has helped my supply too! And I'm loving the lactation cookies I made and look forward to a few of them every day :) (You can order brewer's yeast on Amazon I believe if you can't find it anywhere else. I found it at our local big box grocery store in the health foods section, not in the baking aisle.)
