How to prepare tea?
Raspberry tea has a preparation very similar to others. It can be found in fresh leaves or in bags. In a container, place two tablespoons of the raspberry leaves and set aside. In another container, put 500 ml water and bring to the fire and wait for it to boil. When the water is boiling, place it on top of the leaves and cover, leaving it to rest for approximately 15 minutes. Then strain, sweeten with sweetener if needed, and consume. The recommended dose is two to three cups of tea a day, whichever time you prefer.
The raspberry can also have its benefits used through the capsules, which must be taken until the pregnancy is confirmed with a beta blood test, one in the morning and another at night. The tea has some benefits during pregnancy, but before continuing consumption, talk to your doctor so that he can guide you on the best way to consume it, and whether, in your case, you should continue or not.
