This is my latest favorite drink before bed, especially when I feel like cozying up and creating some hygge atmosphere with a book and some scented candles.
Nettle has become a fav natural ingredient by now in my wild kitchen, especially because it is easily accessible on the road. If you have nettle in your garden don't discard it as a weed because it can be used in many different ways. When harvesting it, you must wear gloves if you want to save yourself from stings. Nettle is high in iron, and is known to reduce hay fever and lower blood pressure.
