Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh common nettle leaves (or 2 tablespoons dried nettle)
  • 2 cups water
  • Optional: honey or lemon for taste

Instructions

  1. Harvest carefully: If using fresh nettle, wear gloves to avoid stings. Rinse the leaves well.
  2. Boil: Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil. Add the nettle leaves.
  3. Steep: Reduce heat and let simmer for 5–10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steep for another 5 minutes.
  4. Strain: Strain the tea into a mug.
  5. Serve: Add honey or lemon if desired. Enjoy warm.

Note:

  • Health claims: Common nettle (Urtica dioica) is traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It does not cure cancer and should never replace professional medical treatment like chemotherapy.
  • Always consult your doctor before using herbal remedies, especially if you have health conditions or take medications.
