Nursing Loose Leaf Tea: How to Brew It and When to Drink It

Quick answer

Brew Nursing Loose Leaf Tea with freshly boiled water cooled for about two minutes, then steep one teaspoon per cup for 4–6 minutes. Most mums drink one to three cups a day, often in the late afternoon or evening, and it is caffeine-free so you can time it around feeds rather than avoiding it after lunch.

How to brew a cup that actually tastes good

Use one rounded teaspoon of loose leaf per 250 ml of water. If you are using a teapot, add one extra teaspoon for the pot. Water that is just off the boil (around 90–95°C) extracts the herbs without pulling out bitterness. Steep for 4–6 minutes. If you prefer a stronger cup, add more leaf rather than steeping longer, because a long steep can turn a gentle blend sharp. Nursing is designed to be warming and refreshing, so it works well both hot and cooled over ice in warmer months.

When to drink it during the day

Because Nursing is caffeine-free, there is no strict cut-off time. Many breastfeeding mums find a cup in the late afternoon or after an evening feed fits naturally into the day. If you are tracking how your baby responds, start with one cup daily for a few days, then adjust. Some mums prefer to drink it about 30–60 minutes before a feed or pump session as part of their routine, but there is no single correct timing — consistency matters more than the clock.

How many cups a day is reasonable

One to three cups daily is a common range. Herbal blends are not a case of more is better; if you want to increase your intake, do it gradually and pay attention to how you and your baby feel. If you are pregnant, taking medication, or managing a medical condition, check with your healthcare provider before adding any new herbal tea to your routine — this is general brewing guidance, not medical advice.

Storing the leaf and using the whole jar

Keep the jar sealed, away from light and strong smells, and use a dry spoon. Loose leaf stays fresher in the original jar than in an open bag. If you buy a bulk pouch, decant only what you need into your jar and keep the rest closed. Nursing is available by serves, so you can start with a smaller amount before committing to a larger jar.

How long should I steep it?
