It’s often hard to know what to give children to drink… clearly they should be having water, but, all day, every day, it just doesn’t cut it. It’s just rather boring.
Fizzy drinks are full of sugar or the much nastier pretend sugar. And some of them have caffeine in them – and if you don’t believe that’s a bad thing for a child, you should meet Boy Two after he’s had a glass of coke.
Fruit juice is acidic and full of fructose, smoothies are too filling and heaven knows what’s in diluting juice. Yes, yes, I know some of it is lovely and very efficacious, but not all.
The point is there’s something different for them to try – Children’s teas specially blended for young palates by Jenier World of Teas. There are three flavours Fairy Princess, Rocket Blast and Teddy Bear’s Choice.
“Moreover, children’s teas also help you to give your kids the vitamins and antioxidants they need to make sure they grow up healthy and happy. They are energising and refreshing and naturally caffeine free which makes them perfect for younger drinkers.”
And if that doesn’t inspire you, try this:
