Drinks other than fruit juice

[Guest guest]

I like to find some herbal teas which are legal. Are there any?

My daughter has problems with acidic drinks. Green tea would be fine

I believe. Is there anything else? Thanks.

Dear foodchallenged,

The only legal teas allowed are peppermint, spearmint and black teas. Green tea

is allowed but limited to 2 cups a day. You can also make your own ginger tea

with grated ginger and boiling water.

Is there a way to make cinnamon tea? I was thinking of putting a cinnamon

stick in black tea, or maybe just sprinkling some ground cinnamon in it.

Would that be okay to do?

I also have made sun tea with green tea and put a bag of peppermint in with

it. That is good.

I don't think green tea is SCD legal.

Meleah,

here is the link on Green Tea.

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/green_tea.htm

I know that it has been rather controversial in the past.

We use English Breakfast Tea by Twinings (decaf or regular). It's a black tea

with a very good flavor. We make iced tea sweetened with hone with it, and hot

tea.

Hi ,

<<Is there a way to make cinnamon tea? I was thinking of putting a

cinnamon in it. > Would that be okay to do?>>

You'd probably get more flavour from the cinnamon stick and yes this

would be okay to do. Since it will be concentrated only start with 1

cup/day at first to see how your body reacts.

Here's a tea recipe I put together. I don't normally measure when I

make chai tea, so I am approximating the amounts:

Sheila's Homemade SCD chai tea:

For one:

1 cinnamon stick

1/2 teaspoon fresh grated (peeled ) ginger

1/4 tsp allspice

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1 whole clove

3 small cardamon seeds

1 tea bag (black tea)

Combine all ingredients except tea bag in a small pot. Add1-1.5 C

water. Bring water to a boil and simmer on low for 5 minutes. Pour

tea through a strainer into mug and tea bag and steep a short while

for weak tea. Remove tea bag.

Saccharine or honey can be added for sweetness and a little homemade

coconut milk if desired.

Hi Meleah,

Green Tea is legal. 1-2 cups of weak green tea/ day is the maximum.

Green tea may be problematic for those just starting the diet so try it

cautiously.

I now ocassionally have green tea but started the diet drinking only

weak black and orange pekoe and lots of mint tea.

Sheila, If I wanted to substitute powdered ginger in this, would the

measurement still be the same?

Thanks for a delicious looking recipe,

I tried it once with powdered ginger and it turned out nasty tasting

You should be able to get fresh ginger root at your grocery store. If

you don't have a grater, just peel some and then chop it as small as

possible - like chopping garlic. The fresh is very strong tasting, but

really worth the extra work. Just don't do what I did years ago. I

tried putting ginger root through my garlic press - it broke the garlic

press.
