Nettle leaf tea is a wonderful herbal infusion full of nutritious goodness! It is rich in vitamins and minerals and is a wonderful herb to have a course of in the change of seasons or any time you feel like a nourishing boost.
It has been used traditionally to help treat seasonal allergies such as hayfever, and also reduces mild joint pain such as osteoarthritis. It is rich in silica and customers tell me with regular use it helps their hair look more thick and luxuriant and their eyes sparkle!
Our nettle tea is loose leaf - so you can make a stronger brew (and you don’t have to worry about glues and plastics which are often present in tea bags).
There are two main ways to make nettle tea, basically a long infusion for extra strength and nourishment, and a short brew tea to drink regularly as desired. Both work well, so choose what you prefer and feel drawn to at the time. Leftover herb is great in garden or compost.
Directions:
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over one heaped teaspoon of herbs.
Cover & steep for about 15 minutes.
Strain and drink hot or cold throughout the day.
This one is for when you want extra nourishment, it is not as easy to drink but if you can do it, is well worth the extra care and attention.
Directions:
Take one-two handfuls of dried nettle leaves and place in a suitable vessel (glass or stainless steel). Pour 1 litre of boiling water over it. Cover and steep for 4-8 hours or overnight. Strain and store in fridge. Leftover herb is great in garden or compost.
Dose: drink 1-3 cups per day. You can drink it cold directly from the fridge or add half boiling water to warm it up as you prefer.
Benefits: very rich in vitamins and minerals, good for skin and hair, supports bladder, helps relieve hay fever, supports recovery from long standing stress, deep nourishing tonic that strengthens and revives.
