Nettle (Tea and Benefits)



After recently reading about one of my long lost herbs on Raw Epicurean blog, I reintroduced it into my diet. I drink it now at least once a day. I prepare it by pouring cold or lukewarm water over a couple of teaspoons of nettle and letting it sit anywhere between 30 minutes to overnight. Click on the link to read about all of Nettle’s benefits.

I drink it without any additives—the taste is very mild. However, if you are a beginner and want to cover up this new (to you) taste, then you can drop a spoonful of honey or brown rice syrup or a few drops of vanilla.

Enjoy! And drink to your health!
