Nettles ... Imagine That!


Yes ... the ubiquitous infusion of nettle leaf ... Urtica dioica ... 

I drink this infusion several times a week. Today I brewed it early and started sipping only minutes after the brew was poured. Then ... I added more boiling water and continued sipping throughout the day until the last was poured into the cup only moment ago.

A wide range of the nutritional gifts are ingested this way, methinks.

Slainte!

Barnyard? Nettles? No .... horsetail maybe ... or comfrey leaf even, but *not* nettle leaf!

I really like the flavor of nettle leaf infusion. I found some growing new fall tops in November, but they all died back after the snow. I'll start looking for spring nettles in a couple weeks.. I bet I'll find them too. Lovely long growing season here in Western Oregon :)
