Size: 3 oz. Classic Tin Origin: United States History: Red Raspberry Leaf is among the best known herbs for pregnancy. It contains fragrine (also called framamine), an alkaloid which gives tone to the muscles of the pelvis and uterus. Red Raspberry is also a rich source of vitamins A, B complex, C, and E, as well as the minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. These nutrients make it an excellent prevention and treatment for anemia and leg cramps, as well as reducing the symptoms of morning sickness. The high mineral content also assists in the production of breast milk. Soft, springy leaves. Bright, flavorful, earthy, herbaceous brew. Caffeine free. Ingredients: Organic Raspberry Leaves Certified Organic by: Quality Assurance International (QAI) We recommend using mineral or spring water at 180 F temperature. Lower temperature water helps provide a fuller body to the tea. Traditional wisdom has usually called for boiling the water in a kettle. We disagree. Boiled water loses oxygen in the water. As such the brew will typically taste flat and void of minerals and crispness. Also, it is difficult to drink boiling water. Use one level teaspoon of leaf for twelve ounces of water, and brew for six minutes.
