How to Make Red Raspberry Leaf Iced Tea

Are you tired of the usual high sugar and caffeinated drinks for your afternoon pick-me-up? Do you want a refreshing drink that is good for you? Red raspberry leaf tea is nourishing for the whole body and good for everyone at any age.

This tea is good for the reproductive system for both men and women. For men it’s a good tonic for prostate health. For women, it is especially good to drink before and during pregnancy. This herb is the one you want to strengthen and tone the uterus for childbirth.

It even helps prevent osteoporosis. It’s a good tea for children to drink because it gives them strong healthy teeth. And you can even use this tea as a mouthwash and a gargle for a throat that’s irritated!

Red Raspberry tea is rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin, selenium, phosphorus, potassium, and the vitamins B, C, A and E, so be sure to drink it regularly.

Here’s a good recipe for Red Raspberry Leaf Tea:

Pour 1 quart boiling water over 1 ounce of dried red raspberry leaf. Cap with a lid and set this out to infuse for 4 to 8 hours. Strain off the herb and store the tea in the refrigerator.

Serve iced with a sprig of peppermint and a little sweetener if desired. Sweeteners include honey, maple syrup, and dehydrated cane sugar. Some find they like it better if the sweetener is made into a thin syrup. To make this just dissolve the sweetener with a bit of hot water before adding it to your tea. If you don’t want any sweetener, you can use apple juice instead.

How do you serve a fast ball in Wii Sports Tennis?

I have not yet learned how to serve a ball that leaves a tail behind and is very fast. Can anyone tell me how to do it? If you also have any other tips, please tell me as well.

It has NOTHING to do with hitting any button on the Wiimote... It has EVERYTHING to do with the "timing" of when you hit the ball!!!

Most people would say to hit the ball when it is at it's HIGHEST PEAK of the toss!! That's pretty much correct... but, I usually try to hit it JUST BEFORE the highest peak of the toss... just to get the timing right... that's what works best for me... TRY IT!!!

Also... tips for getting a higher "rating" or "score" is... If you know that you have been playing a lousy game (losing A LOT of points and such) just hit the plus button on your Wiimote before the game is over to pause the game, and then exit out!!! That way, you won't LOSE any points for having a bad game...

Also... try playing with one "Mii" and one "Computer Player" on your side... and then try playing with Two "Miis" (The same Mii) on your side... and also try moving your starting position around as well... sometimes start on the defensive side of the court, sometimes on the offensive side... These are all ways to get more "points" for your wins!!
