I’ve been craving an iced tea for months! If you’re like me, you’ve probably googled “pregnancy safe drinks from Starbucks” or “is __________ tea safe during pregnancy” a ton and have found every answer under the sun.
I read how hibiscus is known for causing pre-term labor so I knew passion tea and passion tea lemonades were completely off limits. This is such a bummer, especially since I’ll be going into warmer weather for the second half of my pregnancy.
The iced tea craving finally hit an all time high today so I did more searching. I’ll be adding to this blog post as I find more and more tea combos that are deemed safe to drink.
First up, the “Iced Guava White Tea Lemonade” is absolutely delicious and refreshing and doesn’t even have to be sweetened so ask for it unsweetened! The lemonade is sweet enough on its’ own. It only contains 30mg caffeine for a venti so I would just keep an eye on whether you had a large cup of (allowed) coffee. Remember, 200mg of caffeine a day is safe!
Edit: I discovered this drink is only available during Spring and Summer months as an iced beverage. They did tell me they do have white tea available in the Fall and Winter months but only as a hot option.
