Tea Mocktails

Keeping cool is hard at the moment.  Especially if you're pregnant!

And if you are also cutting out your favourite cocktails, we thought we'd make some alternative tea mocktails for you - alcohol free but still delicious.

 

FINAL PUSH RASPBERRY LEAF MOJITO

The classic minty, lime combination with a hint of sweetness and raspberry leaf too... oh so refreshing!  Suitable from 32 weeks, it's the perfect way to prepare for labour in the heat.

Then add plenty of ice to your serving glass. pour the iced tea over, top up with soda or lemonade (depending how sweet you like it) and enjoy!

 

GET UP & GLOW SPARKLER

This sweet, sparkling fruity hit, is a perfect punch substitute!  We're tempted to make a pitcher of it and enjoy alone at a paddling pool party...

Juice of 1 lime

5 Mint Leaves

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

Then add plenty of ice to your serving glass. pour the iced tea over, top up with sparkling water.  Garnish with lime wedges and mint.

  

MORNING RESCUE G & TEA

A sweetly zingy, citrus hit.  You can swap tonic water for lemonade if you fancy something sweeter, but we recommend it without!

75ml freshly boiled water

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

75ml tonic water

Ice

Slice of lemon

Rosemary sprig

Method:

Brew the tea bags in your favourite glass for 10 minutes, then remove the tea bags.

Add honey and stir until the honey is dissolved.  Allow to cool - pop in the fridge if you need.

Add ice, a slice of lemon and a rosemary sprig. Gently stir and pour over the soda water.
