Whatever herbs you choose to recommend to others for breastfeeding, strive toward creating a tasty blend. Nutty flavors blend well with spices, leafy tastes call for mint or citrus, and savory flavors go well in soups or broths. Bitter flavors are tough to mask, and sweeteners don't really help. For these, it's best to make small, concentrated quantities and down it quickly. I follow a self imposed rule that calls for first trying anything I ask someone else to take. That way I know what they're really up against, and I'm more motivated to create something that tastes good.
