In January I wrote about Cherry stem tea and today I am gone give you the recipe for Stinging nettle tea. You need to start to read about stinging nettle and know how good are for you. Go back to the nature and enjoy healthy really bio green stuff.
This recipe can be made with fresh nettles or dried ones, so it is great all year long. It is also the same recipe as the Cherry stem tea but the time is different.
Ingredients:
- ½ liter water
- One hand of fresh stinging nettles
Directions:
Boil the nettles for 2 minutes and then let it steep for 5 minutes. Drink it cold or warm.
Enjoy the green!

I will make this, because it looks tasty!🏖
It is healthy too
It looks yummy
I like it with a few drops of olive oil and a pinch of salt. It has a buttery flavor.
Sounds great!
Thank you! I am curious as to where you get your stinging nettles? Do you purchase them or forage them?
I forage them. We have them in the forest and in our garden.
We make this. It’s good, and great for you!!!
Ok got to look for some stinging nettles – wonder if they grow in New Zealand?
We make borș from nettles in the spring, and eat them as a vegetable in place of spinach, in fact we have some borș made right now. In either case they must be very young, as they appear in early spring, otherwise they’re too tough. But they can be collected and frozen just like spinach.
Nice!
I love tea. I drink stevia tea myself mixed with dandelion root it is like a black coffee to me
Nice!
My husband loved making beer out of nettles! The tea is supposed to be excellent for you!
Sounds great!
I have made this, as well as stinging nettle soup. It is a delicious culinary ingredient, and I always feel that eating them is sweet revenge for all the times I’ve accidentally weeded them out of the garden and got stung!
I used to have nettles growing in my backyard and now can usually find them at the farmers markets at this time of year. Thanks so much for the reminder.
The other day I had a pizza with nettles! So creative.
Pizza sounds great!

I just now found your comment! While your link no longer works, I checked out red tea – that looks awesome! Thank you for the further recommendation!
Thanks. We’ll give it a try.
Shall definitely try this, I have an inexhaustible supply of nettles in my untidy garden, I just have to wait for them to grow back again. I drink all sorts of tea.
This sounds really interesting 💚
I had this and I think is awful. It was bitter and treated like literally eating grass. No offense.
None taken. Use sugar or honey next time
oh okay i do still have the tea…i just do not eat sugar anymore. I guess I just need naturally sweet teas or non bitter ones. The health benefit are good though. Thanks!
I have actually had this, and yes it is very good and refreshing.
We learned about this in my medicinal plants class in Ecuador! According to local herbal lore, if you intentionally sting your knuckles it will help with arthritis 🙂
True
I’m a tea drinker but I never heard about this. I’ll try it if I can find stinging nettles here.
Love your site!!!!! 🙂
Thank you
Wow. We have these in our yard now and again. I had no idea! I’ll try it sometime! Thank You and Cheers!!! 🙂
You are welcome
