Now when I say I miss tea, I mean REALLY miss tea.
I’m ok without it – it’s not like i’m in withdrawal or anything – it’s been about 6 weeks since I’ve been able to enjoy a nice cuppa.
But for me it was all about the ritual. I woke up, I had a cuppa. I was awake and felt normal.
I’d come in from work, get changed, make a cuppa. Sit and drink it whilst Bruce was chilling next to me.
I miss it when I work from home. I’d pretty much always have a cuppa on the go and it was LOVELY in the winter just to warm though with a nice drink. Now I’m stuck with milk or pepsi as they’re the only things I can comfortably drink and I’m starting to get fed up with them.
How silly it is to miss tea.

I actually can’t stand tea but I do love chocolate, cheese etc. I can imagine cutting any of them out would make me seriously want it. I gave up chocolate for lent and it drove me a bit crazy. Probably didn’t help that I was pg at the time!
Have you cut out tea because of the caffeine. I’m sure you already know it but a cup a day is supposed to be absolutely fine. I can understand if you have reservations though given what you’ve been through. Have you tried herbal teas?

Well I cut it out cos it started tasting horrible 😦 but I had cut down to 2 cups a day. I’ve tried a few herbal teas before being pregnant but nothing was particularly nice 😦

How about hot chocolate? I love a hot chocolate and I can’t imagine it ever tasting bad although I do know our bodies do strange things when we’re pregnant. It may still contain a little caffeine but the reading I’ve done suggests it’s far less caffeine that a cup of coffee or tea.

Yeah I haven’t been brave enough to try hot chocolate yet. I tried Horlicks and that was horrible.
Might try a hot chocolate today… Just craving a hot drink

Horlicks isn’t great. I have Galaxy hot chocolate at work and it’s lovely and chocolatey. Good luck x

If you want a caffeine free tea you can have with milk try Rooibos (sometimes sold as redbush tea), it is naturally caffeine free and works well with milk as a substitute for the real deal. If it is a taste thing though it might not work, but worth a try. I am a tea addict!

I had come across Rooibos actually but haven’t been brave enough to try any. Might give it a go and see if it tastes better than regular tea
