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.
