[Sca-cooks] "Middle eastern" drinks for pregnant people

[Susan Fox]

This works out well because fermented drinks were forbidden by Sharia 
law anyway.

I bet she will like Sekanjabin, the Persian mint-vinegar drink, for the 
lovely electrolytes.   Cariadoc's recipe here:

Otherwise, still water with fruit syrup of any old world fruit will 
probably work out nicely.  Cariadoc has a couple of recipes for those 
too, otherwise any Middle Eastern market has a wide variety to choose from.

Blessings on mother, baby and their good friend too,
Selene Colfox
