To prepare nettle tea, steep fresh or dried nettle leaves in boiling water for 5–10 minutes. The heat deactivates the leaves' stinging hairs, making the tea safe to consume.

 



Here’s a complete guide to preparing nettle tea, along with benefits, variations, and tips 🍵🌿:


Nettle Tea – Complete Guide

Ingredients

  • Fresh nettle leaves: 1 cup

  • OR dried nettle leaves: 1–2 teaspoons

  • Boiling water: 1 cup

  • Optional: honey, lemon, or mint for flavor


Preparation Steps

  1. Harvest or select leaves

    • Wear gloves if picking fresh nettles to avoid stings.

    • Choose young, tender leaves for best flavor and nutrients.

  2. Wash leaves thoroughly

    • Rinse under cold water to remove dirt or insects.

  3. Boil water

    • Bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil.

  4. Steep leaves

    • Place fresh or dried nettle leaves in a teapot or cup.

    • Pour boiling water over them.

    • Cover and steep for 5–10 minutes.

    • Steeping longer increases flavor and nutrients but can become slightly bitter.

  5. Strain and serve

    • Remove leaves using a fine mesh strainer.

    • Add honey, lemon, or mint if desired.

    • Serve hot or let it cool for iced nettle tea.


Tips

  • Deactivates stinging hairs: Boiling water neutralizes the tiny hairs, making the tea safe.

  • Storage: Brewed tea can be refrigerated for 1–2 days.

  • Flavor variations: Mix with green tea, chamomile, or peppermint.


Health Benefits

  • Rich in vitamins: A, C, K, and minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium.

  • Anti-inflammatory properties: Can support joint health and allergies.

  • Supports digestion: Gentle diuretic effect may help reduce bloating.

  • Immune support: Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress.


Cautions

  • Avoid excessive consumption if pregnant or breastfeeding.
