Nettle Tea
Stinging nettles are packed full of vitamins and have several medicinal properties. It is best known for purifying toxins from the blood and promotes healthy skin and hair, healthy digestion and also combats fatigue and symptoms of PMS. Homemade nettle tea is quick and easy to make and is less bitter then green tea.
Ingredients
100g Stinging nettles
Water
Preparations Time
10 minutes
Method
Pick nettles that are unsoiled and bug-free, cut them down into small manageable portions using gardening gloves to avoid getting stung. Put them in a pan and add water, enough that the nettles are completely covered. Bring to the boil and leave to cook for 10 minutes. Sieve the tea into a jug, or whatever you like, and throw away the nettles. Sweeten with honey or sugar if desired.
And don’t worry, boiling the nettles will remove the ‘sting’.
I’m adding nettle tea into my detox programme because of their reputation for clearing skin. :)
