#nettle tea

As I continue my holistic wellness journey—especially after showing my gut some love with Kombucha—I’ve shifted focus toward supporting my blood health through herbal teas. Lately, I’ve been incorporating Nettle Tea and Red Clover Tea into my daily regimen, both by Traditional Medicinals, a brand I trust for their organic sourcing and third-party testing for pesticides and impurities.

I think most people know now that nettles are really good for you, and if you didn't, a quick internet search will tell you so. According to BBC good food, nettles are anti-inflammatory, high in vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium and vitamin K, are a natural antihistamine and good for arthritis and prostate health. Furthermore, according to oldschool.runescape.wiki, "Nettle tea is a hot drink that can be obtained by cooking nettle-water on a fire or cooking range, requiring level 20 Cooking and granting 52 experience when successful." Indeed, nettle tea is so praised in herbalist circles that one might wonder why they're not more used. In fact I read that question in a herbalist book I was reading for work (yes I am an archivist). You can get nettle tea in health food shops, but why use that when they're growing all over my back garden? According to Pinterest all I need to do is pick some with thick gardening gloves, put them in a tea pot and let steep in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Which I did, preparing myself for initiation unto an ancestral practice which would undoubtedly unlock a New Me with more energy and no ADHD.

IT TASTES OF FISH 🐟

IT REEKS OF FISH 🐠

IT'S FISH TEA 💀

It's actually sort of impressive once you get over the horror of it, but yeah apparently fresh nettle tea tastes decidedly fishy. And since it's *just* fishy, bc of course I didn't add anything else to flavour it (which would have been worse. Definitely. Imagine if I'd added honey) it tastes way too gross for tea.
