Moo Tea: Nursing Moms Herbal Infusion

Contributed by Sarah Kingsbury

Teas, which are steeped or brewed for a few minutes, are mild flavored and have less tea or herbs added.
Infusions, which are nutritional and medicinal, are steeped for hours, and have more herbs added.

This mild infusion boosts milk production, and eases gas in baby and Mom. It's safe for nursing moms to drink several times a day. It tastes good on it's own, but you can add honey if desired.

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1 tsp milk thistle seeds
• 1 tsp fenugreek seeds

Instructions:

1. Bring 21/2 qt. water to a boil and boil for five minutes
2. Remove from heat, and add the herbal mixture
3. Cover and let sit for at least an hour
4. Strain & drink all you want. It's easy to go through 2 qts. a day when you're nursing
