Chile has been running a Quit Now challenge. Last month I signed up to reduce my tea drinking habits back to 4 cups of black tea a day (with the long term goal being to get down to one cup). I'm taking it slowly, and am renewing the challenge to not go beyond 3 cups a day this month. It is hard though - it's tied into rituals, it's enjoyable and it tastes good. While pregnant and breastfeeding I didn't drink beyond 3 cups a day, so this should be a breeze really.
This time around, I'm wanting to replace my black tea with a homegrown herbal alternative. I don't have a lot of choice in my garden just yet, but am on the hunt for tasty combinations.

Good on you for cutting down ... I try sometimes but I am addicted to Scarborough Fair's Earl Grey tea and to coffee full stop...
I'll be interested to see what herbal alternatives you like. After paying no less than $6.39 for merely 40 camomile teabags in the supermarket today, I'm getting very keen on growing my own this summer.
Yeah, this will be my new research focus I think for the coming weeks. Sandra, I am sitting here supping on a mug of chamomile as well, I only drink one in the evening, so at least my box will last a good 6wks or so, but yeah, not cheap. I was looking into mint tea recipes today, but moroccan mint tea has a base of green tea - so not much of an improvement on the self-sufficiency!
