Stinging Nettle Tonic
A mineral-rich restorative tea that's similar in taste to green tea with an earthy, mellow flavor.
Equipment
- 1 tea kettle
Ingredients
- 1 cup stinging nettle leaves
- 3 cups hot water
Instructions
- bring 3 cups of water to a boil with the stinging nettle leaves.
- turn off water and let it steep for 5 minutes
- using fine mesh strainer, remove the leaves and pour into your favorite mug.
Notes
Special Note: When the weather gets warmer and I'm craving something cold, I like to brew 4-6 cups (using 2 cups of stinging nettle). Then, after straining the leaves, I place the tonic in my refrigerator. It's an excellent way to treat myself to a replenishing and renewing spring iced-tea tonic, either plain or added to my smoothies.
