Welcome mama!

You’ve just purchased one of our organic NOA and NORA pregnancy tea blends. Now what? Don’t worry, your NOA or NORA pregnancy tea is super easy (and even fun!) to make. We’ve got some simple brewing instructions below.

Here’s how to brew yourself a batch (or two!):

• Add 1/4 cup of your NORA tea blend into a quart-sized mason jar. To batch brew, add 1 cup of tea blend to a gallon jar. Kombucha jars like these here work great! 

• Boil 4 cups of water and pour into your jar containing the tea blend. For batch brewing, boil 3.5-4 quarts of water (depending on container size, you may boil a little less to prevent the jar from being too full)

• Add in any extras like honey or lemon, stir. 

• Cover with cheese cloth secured by a rubber band to ventilate and steep for 8+ hours or overnight. Place the jar in a cool dry place on your counter or even the fridge.

• Once cooled, strain using your cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer and reheat or enjoy cold over ice for a refreshing summer treat!

Some additional tips/notes:

• Consider sweetening your tea with honey or maple syrup. We recommend 2 tsp per quart (or to taste). Try local honey for added benefits! You can also experiment and add other pregnancy-supporting herbs like ginger, peppermint or lemon juice, to taste.

• It’s important that you steep the tea for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows for the herbs to be infused into the liquid for optimal nutrient extraction. Once the tea has cooled to room temp, I usually pop it into the fridge to steep overnight. 

•  Once your brew is ready, I recommend straining and distributing into smaller jars like quart sized mason jars and storing in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy!
