Nettle, also known as stinging nettle, is a perennial herb native to Europe, Africa and North America. As the common name implies, the plant is armed with hair-like stingers that inject histamine and other inflammatory chemicals when brushed against.
Nettle leaf has a long history of use as a food crop (the stingers fall off in hot water) and today we know that the herb is highly nutritious. Dried nettle herb is commonly used in herbal tea blends, although it is also frequently encapsulated or tinctured.

How to make Nettle Tea?
Caffeine Free
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh nettle leaves
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp honey/sugar (optional)
If you're using fresh nettle leaves, use only a cup of the leaves for every 2 cups of water. If you're using dried nettle leaves, only add a tsp for every 8 ounces of water.
Instructions
-
To make nettle tea, first, bring water to a boil on the stove.
-
To the boiling water, add the fresh nettle leaves and reduce the heat down to medium.
-
Let the leaves steep in the water for five to seven minutes. If you want the flavor to be stronger, allow the leaves to steep in water for a longer duration.
-
If the flavor is too potent for your liking, you can add a spoonful of honey or sugar to enhance the taste. Once done, serve the tea warm and enjoy the hot, nutritional beverage.
Nettle tea is a delicious and beneficial beverage that helps boost the immune system, relieve pain and inflammation, protect the heart and optimize digestion. Nettle tea can be quite a strong beverage, and has a rapid effect on the body, primarily due to the flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals found in the plant.
