Herbal teas
Which types of herbal teas do you like drinking?
I need to try and drink more green tea as it has so many benefits. I've even managed to get my husband into drinking it occasionally!
I also like camomile or valarian tea in the evenings to help me sleep better. Also like fennel tea and lemon tea. I need to try and cut down on coffee and drink more herbal teas throughout the day! ![:)](https://www.socialslimmers.com/images/smilies/happy.gif)

I always wondered if camomile tea really does help you sleep, works for you?
Green tea is the best to go for health wise. I tried a couple of flavours recently and just can't find a fruit herbal I like very much.

Camomile tea tends to calm me which helps me fall asleep easier, but I do notice that maybe I'm becoming more tolerant to it. Maybe it's all the coffee I drink throughout the day though! Valarian tea definitely helps me though ![:)](https://www.socialslimmers.com/images/smilies/happy.gif)
I'm going to aim to drink more green tea from tomorrow ![:)](https://www.socialslimmers.com/images/smilies/happy.gif)

How much coffee do you drink, I used to drink 15/20 cups once upon on time ![Blush](https://www.socialslimmers.com/images/smilies/blush.gif) would constantly put kettle on! I now stick to decaf apart from my morning cuppa.

Wow, that is a lot of coffee! I tend to have around 3 coffees a day but REALLY strong ones. I will put two heaped teaspoons of coffee in a cup and use half a cup of water so it's extra strong like espresso!
Had one strong coffee this morning and I'm having a green tea now

I love hibiscus, mint herbal tea. of course green is the fav one) I have never felt sleeping effect of camomile on me( but i have no problems with sleep actually;-) so maybe it depends on a person.

I've got a green chai tea, but the spices in it are too strong for me! The woman in the health shop told me to use green tea in cooking and juices/smoothies as it has the same affect!
My favourite atm's strawberry and mango. I've got one bag left of dandelion and burdock and can't find any more ![:(](https://www.socialslimmers.com/images/smilies/sad.gif) but I loved that of a morning!
Also in my cupboard ATM are peppermint, strawberry/raspberry/cranberry, camomile&honey, lemon detox and dandelion. The camomile and honey's lovely!

You have a good range there!
I've never heard of using green tea in cooking and sauces, but it sounds like a good idea and healthy too.
I have never tried chai tea but I want to give it a go
