Nettle tea



Nettle tea

In France I used nettle in cooking, there is not a lot of flavor, but a good fresh green leaves for use in spring when there is not a lot to offer in the vegetable garden.
In Ireland, the nettle is much taller and leaves bigger, making harvest very easy. So I pick some for tea, simply wash then pour hot water on it. The leaves stay bright green, the tea mild green, with a  bean taste, an interesting drink, and very cheerful to the eyes.
