This iced red raspberry leaf tea recipe is especially good for women. As a matter of fact, here are a few proven health benefits that can be gained by drinking this iced tea:

• Can provide relief from menstrual cramps. Red raspberry leaf tea can provide relief from PMS symptoms like cramping. This is because the leaf contains a compound called fragarine which has been shown to help tone muscles in the pelvic region, which in turn can help to ease painful cramping. (1)
• Can help promote a healthy pregnancy. For pregnant women (or women who are attempting to become pregnant), red raspberry leaf tea is a fantastic drink that can help to support your pregnancy.

How Often Can I Drink This Iced Red Raspberry Leaf Tea?

This iced red raspberry leaf tea is perfectly safe to drink on a daily basis. In fact, a large amount of expecting mothers do in fact drink it daily to help support their pregnancy.

With that being said, I would recommend limiting your intake of this tea to 1-2 cups per day only. Red raspberry tea also contains natural laxative properties that can cause diarrhea and even vomiting if consumed in excessive amounts.

So long as you use a bit of moderation and stick with 1-2 cups per day, you should have no issues.
