When it was cold, we were drinking quite a bit of hot tea - mostly Jason and I but the girls sometimes, too. sometimes in the evening, Jason still makes us hot tea, but now we are drinking more iced-tea. It goes well with dinner, or in my sippy throughout the day. Phyllis rarely drinks it and Dai almost always drinks it and Cressida is hit or miss - often getting a glass poured that she doesn't actually drink (I do sometimes when I clear the table of anything that didn't get cleared already.)
Cressida particularly loves raspberry and Dai really loves honey vanilla chamomile (I think any chamomile would suit her really) and I have been making peach a lot lately. I enjoy those fruity ones that I don't like hot as an iced-beverage quite well. We have used up all three of those varieties. While I love vanilla rooibos hot, it isn't great as iced-tea. Next we have a different chamomile and then a lemon variety. We also have an orange spice one, but I am hoping to save that for hot drinks.
I know drinking water at all meals (our previous usual) can be quite boring but soda or juice or milk isn't really a great choice either. I hope in this way, I am helping my children make good life long habits.
We had the missionaries over recently - elders and sisters. They all had water, but I did explain that it was chamomile so totally above board. None of them had any. They had water. My the girls explained that the table cloth at the sister missionaries' table was water resistant so the water would bead on it. Sure enough, the sisters poured out the last drops and played with them before the night was out.
