It's 38 degrees, you've fed twice in the last hour, and the last thing you want is a hot cup of tea. But your body still needs everything that cup would have given it.

This is the answer for the months when hot tea feels like the wrong idea entirely. Your lactation tea, frozen into something you actually want to reach for in summer. Ten minutes of brewing, a few hours in the freezer, and it's ready whenever the heat catches up with you.

These icy poles are made with Nourish Mama Sweet Serenity Lactation Tea, our fenugreek-free blend of apple, berries, hibiscus, rosehip, raspberry leaf, and fennel. It's naturally sweet and fruity on its own, which is exactly what makes it work frozen. This recipe sits alongside our full guide to lactation tea, which covers what actually works and what's mostly tradition.

Why Sweet Serenity Works Here

Not every tea freezes well. Bitter or strongly herbal blends turn unpleasant once the sweetness drops out with the heat, which is part of why this recipe uses Sweet Serenity rather than a more traditional galactagogue blend like Lavender Lullaby. The apple, berries, hibiscus, and rosehip give it a naturally fruity base, and it's fenugreek-free, so it suits mums who are sensitive to stronger blends or simply prefer a gentler daily tea.

If you're using a different Nourish Mama tea blend you already have on hand, it will still work here.
Just taste it once cooled, some of the more herbal blends benefit from a little extra honey to balance out before freezing.
