Hi Gail,

The directions I believe say to drink 2-3 cups per day. I usually ask if
they are a tea drinker to begin with and warn them of the less than
wonderful taste. One mother decided it was much more tolerable if
brewed with another decaf but flavored tea, such as raspberry or orange,
etc. I suggest sweetening it slightly also to take some of the unique taste
away. If they don't like tea I tell them about Fenugreek capsules 2 - 4 x
per day, but most moms really notice the musty odor to the milk with this
and I've taken to being concerned re: loose stools with this although I've
only had one reported problem that I'm aware of.
