Nettle tea

We love nettles. We brew with them, we cook with them, and wildlife thrives on them. They also make a decent tea.

You can steep fresh nettles for a restorative brew—a loosely filled mug of leaves topped up with water should do the trick— but picking those stingers can be a bind, so you might prefer to grab a load in one swoop and dry them for future use.
