Making RLT taste nicer.....

What can I add to my RLT to make it more palatable?? There is a mix at T2 that I wanted to get but it is only 60% RL but wanted the full effect of the RLT so might stick to the plain tea? I am not a tea drinker so any ideas appreciated!:)

Ok so a spoon of honey in it made it go down ok, but I have been having heaps of BH which Im used to but also feeling REALLY sick now that I have had it... Looks like I might be one of the unlucky ones that gets nausea with it... Might have to try the T2 one and see if the peppermint in it offsets the nausea or else back to tabs.

Hey Tan...was about to come in and suggest honey....works with everything else!

Ive never tried RLT before....so wouldnt have a clue what it tastes like (let alone what it does..LOL)

I put heaps of honey in it. I still wasn't too keen on it though.
You could try it with honey as iced tea.

You could try it in tablet form instead?

I was also goin to suggest tablet form.

I also dont drink tea so I used tabs.

I think I've read that the tablets aren't as good as the tea so that's why I decided on tea this time around...will read up some more but will take the tabs if I keep feeling so sick on the tea. Will try the T2 one with peppermint in it tomorrow!

I used to put honey in it. When I was drinking it before DD2 my dad developed a taste for it!!! We told him he would have a great uterus LOL

When are you meant to start taking it?? (sorry to butt in!)

from 34 weeks you can start.

i started a bit later at 36 weeks as i had bad BH

Thanks Feeb!

Peppermint tea is excellent for nausea in most people.
I love RLT though, i have to stop drinking it when I'm pf and look forward to week 34 when I can have it again!

Where do you buy it from...ive never been able to find it last 2 pg's

kim, i used to buy it in the health food seciton at safeway, the brand was red seal or something like that. But you can get it froma health food store or a naturopath. I can get you some and send it to you if you want
T2 sell it, there is one of those at Chaddy i think

health food shops or naturopath

Kim - I got mine from a Health Food shop at Doncaster today and the mixed one with peppermint etc. I got from T2. HtH!

Aw thanks ladies!!

Sorry to hijack ya thread Tan...btw....your pic is so gorgeous...cant beleive you only have 5 weeks to go....thats gone super fast!!!

Yuck, RLT is so disguisting but I think it works both my labours have been incredibly short! I found the best way was to make it up before hand and then chill it so you can drink it down really fast. I also used to mix it with juice the best one was apple and mango, hid the taste the best - can't touch the stuff now but when you have to drink 3+ cups a day you need it to go down quick and easy. All the best
