Fresh Nettle Tea




Why, why you might ask. Why would anyone make tea out of stinging nettle? Well to begin with it is loaded with nutrients- calcium, iron and antioxidants. And with a little lemon, it tastes pretty good too.

Nettle Tea
1. (Using gloves) cut just the tops of nettle plant off.
2. Cut leaves into smaller pieces
3. Boil water
4. Poor water over leaves and let soak. Equal parts nettle and water seem to make a good tea, but you can make it stronger or weaker with less or more water.
5. Strain the leaves out.
6. Add lemon slice and enjoy
