How To Make Stinging Nettle Tea - High Nutritious Herbal Drink For Bushcraft, Prepping And Survival 

I dumped a load of them into the Sunday stew( didnt tell them) instead of the usual spinache and they loved it, it's good knowing it will give us plenty vitamins too👍😀

I love the taste. I put it in Ramen with peas, making Ramen a bit nutritious. I drink it just like tea and eat the leaves like cooked spinach. Don't be scared of the sting, drop it in hot water and the sting is gone in seconds. If you let the dry leaves sit for a few days the sting dries up and you can eat it raw, but it's a papery texture, so not as fun to eat. I just this morning got a wasp sting and my hand was throbbing. I could see the little red spot on my palm, and it really stung. I put nettle tea (in my fridge) on the spot - just a half teaspoon or so, and within seconds the sting was gone - and 20 minutes later I can't see the spot! How cool is that? A stinging nettle can relieve wasp stings! Nature is awesome...thank you God for being so creative as we discover all these things with wonder...

What I love about camping is the odd facial expressions and reactions people give me when I come back to the camp site telling them dinner will be ready soon. All they seen me with was what just seemed to be weeds, roots and leaves.

i just moved into the forest, and when I walked around this morning, i saw hundreds of nettle plants. I'm in heaven!

I have been avoiding these or destroying them for years- isn't a little bit of knowledge priceless!

I remember doing this with my dad almost 60 years ago. My grandparents were using stinging nettles as a vegetable during the war years.

I have so many in my yard and always called them prickly bastards before today. Happy that they serve a purpose and ready to try this tea. thank you!

I am continually amazed by the beneficial plants that we take for granted because we think they are weeds.

Crazy to think Stinging Nettle is big business in the supplement world when it is so abundant!

My husband pointed me here because he has prostate cancer and his doctor told him about Nettle Tea

Great video. They also lower your blood pressure, ease inflammation, relieve stress, and a sour stomach in 20 minutes after drinking which gives you a boost of energy. Just harvested about 3 pounds, air dried, and crushed. I steep it, then run it through a coffee press. Sierra mountains, northern California.

My daughter and I have literally just had a cup of nettle tea. Went out and picked them an hour ago, just the tips, and let it brew for 10 minutes. It had an unusual taste a little bit like the flavour and smell of sweet corn soup. Very pleasant actually. Things you do in a ‘ lockdown’..........

I stumbled upon this and was quickly going to make a comment making fun of this guy. While typing my stupid comment I actually started listening and soon realized he is probably a thousand times smarter than i am and is very informative. I deleted my comment and subscribed instead. Hope to learn more. Keep up the good work!

Spending most of my childhood playing across acres and acres of fields, this video brought many happy memories flooding back, including battling stingers , almost on a daily basis 😂😂.

Me too, Nettle tea, but I dry it first drink it cold... I let it soak 15 to 30 min... A real treat.. And reusable, with the same soaked leaves put again cold water.. 4 times you can do that.. Have a try and let me know...

I’v spent years eradicating these out of the garden. Now I’m considering planting them back in....🙄

I used to drink nettle tea everyday whilst doing heavy work.beaut stuff,really the busness for the kidneys and immune system.

Stinging nettles helped people survive the Irish famine because of the protein content

Nettles are a go to when i run out of coffee, also used in stews and soups and they grw back so well.

Also they're good for prostate health and should be harvested during the late spring and early summer . It's worth noting that you should always make sure they haven't been in an area that's been sprayed with herbicides or insecticides .

I've seen stinging nettle save a fellow's kidneys. He was on a waiting list for kidney donations. Two weeks on & the doc said it was a miracle. The entire plant is great food for your tomatoes as well. The tea was known as Spring Tonic to old timers. Tells ya something, eh?

Great video, I have recently started getting into survival/bushcraft, can't believe how long I have thought these plants were nothing but a nuisance. I guess mother nature provides us with what we need.

I make a nourishing infusion every day, my skin, nails, general health rapidly improved, I get results where multivitamins and mineral tablets just failed to do. One day it will be nettle, the next will oat straw, day after will be red clover, all dried stuff either bought or harvested myself, some times I mix it with other herbs like holy basil, ginger, turmeric root, hawthorn, elderberry, liquorice root (very sweet stuff) and so on. Just put 1oz in total (30g) of your chosen dried herbs In a large jar, add 1 pint of freshly boiled water, stir and leave for a minimum of 4 hours, (usually over night) then strain and drink within 24 hours. Keep it up and you will quickly see the benefits.

nettle stings are super beneficial for one’s health actually, and to get rid of the unpleasant side effects - just rub some green herb juice over it! sorrel works well, and a bunch of others! nettle leaves are beautiful in salads as well (dip into boiling water for 1-2 seconds to remove the sting). Also great in baking! …plus, if you have leftovers, leave it to ferment in water outside for a couple of weeks, and there you have yourself the best insecticide for the garden!

Absolutely brilliant. I decided to boil up some nettles yesterday to eat. I wasn't disappointed, they tasted great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the nettles 👍👍

Thanks for the vid, mate. Been growing nettles in the big city and loving it!

Thanks, am looking forward to trying this!

dude- thank YOU from across the pond

This is great. I have them all over in the woods behind the house! I'm heading out to pick some now!

Thank you for the information. I’m going to look for this plant 🌱.

I absolutely love reading the comments on this app. So much info!!!

Thank-you for making this video to help people learn about the super nutritious Nettle. It grows on our property here in Virginia and although we've been here twenty years I only made it a goal to study and use it this year!! So thankful to have this super food here to forage and make into fresh or dried tea, Irish Nettle soup or simply sautee fresh like spinach. All of the health benefits that you so clearly stated make it an exciting ally for living healthier.

Fantastic , thanks for sharing.

Great video. Thanks.

Love this video. Lots of information. Going to try this myself today.

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Very helpful plus you’re a great presenter mate. Thanks for sharing. Going to make myself some nettle tree a this afternoon after my daily exercise. Cheers - Ben 👍

Interesting herb. I will now include it in my herbal tea concoction. It's abundant in our location.

I've recently got hooked after coming into a huge patch! I'm eating it, drinking it and making tincture now. Good stuff! Love your info!!

Awesome video!!! Loved it so I subbed!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

My recipe.collect a big handfull of nettles about two cups or a soup bowl worth.chop up some fresh sweet cabbage and some celery Get two or three leaves of milk thistle from your garden and a couple leaves of dandelions from the garden. chop all of them together finally after you wash them. Then put a saucepan medium saucepan on the stove with half of it water and through all the Greens in and let it slowly boil for 10 minutes. Make sure all the greens are chopped up really fine. Then to the soup add a chicken stock cube then add a teaspoon of turmeric powder the teaspoon of paprika a teaspoon of cracked black pepper break a small piece of fresh ginger and throw them all into soup. Add a teaspoon of mild mustard a teaspoon of fresh crushed garlic.. tablespoon and a half of oyster sauce a teaspoon of hoisin sauce a teaspoon of fish sauce and throw that in to the soup. Then get a tablespoon of white vinegar and put that into. And chop up a handful of parsley and chop up about 3 sticks of spring onions and chop them up fine but not too fine.make sure all of these ingredients boil slowly for another 10 minutes. While you're doing that get another saucepan and boil some water and while that's starting to boil put some thin rice noodles into a bowl with water and let them soak for five minutes until the water boils and then put the rice noodles in for about 5 to 7 minutes or until they're soft and silky. Then quickly break to eggs into the soup without breaking them and within two minutes they should be cooked and then you can turn the stove off. If you did it right then the eggs will be around like a ball and the yoke will be soft on the inside so when you put the soup into the bowl you can then break both eggs open and the yolk will spread through the soup and give it extra flavour and protein. Put some fresh Lebanese bread or Turkish bread into the toaster and then lightly spread margarine on after the toast is brown and eat the soup with the toasted bread. If you want you can grate some fresh cheese over the soup for extra flavour which is something that I d do and don't forget to put the rice noodles in at the end.This is a powerful and delicious and a super Meal.this app is very powerful cleansing nutritious and stuff with vitamins and minerals and this will rejuvenate your energy and give you strength within minutes. If you have other ingredients like galangal coriander then you can shut them up and add them in as well.it depends on your area and your location and what fresh foods are available at that time but for the most part you should be able to find all of these especially in winter. Stinging nettles mainly come out in spring or autumn and winter cuz they don't like the hot weather. In winter they will be abundant in your gardens must your flowers and if you have a veggie garden they will be amongst your weeds. Like he said only cut the top off so they can keep on growing.

one of the best Herbs out there

Thanks for showing how to make that kind of outdoors stinging nettles tea i have never known this. Thanks again

What a great video and lesson. Here in the Pacific Northwest of America we have a huge amount of these stinging nettles everywhere, to include my own yard. Time for tea. Thanks for the video.

Totally relaxed watching this.. please loads more foraging videos

So good to know

Great vid thank you for the info 👊🏾🇬🇧👊🏾

What a lovely vid!!! Brilliant!!

Very interesting video mate 👍 Thanks 😊

I think the reason you should limit intake is because they contain oxalic acid crystals, in the same way that sorrel and many other wild plants do, which can build up in the body over time and cause problems.

I love this! I’m totally looking for safe ways to use nettles and this has helped me out a treat!

Amazing should not be looked at and neglected the way it does the lovely flowers it grows. Wow

I planted some in a pot and can't wait until it gets big enough.

I got stung in my right calf while disc golfing a couple hours ago. Now that brought me to this video. I now want to try this tea and the leaves.

Thank you so much, I cant wait to try this tea.

I'm about to start using it.

Beautiful information, and Beautifully done 😊 Thank you so much!

Very informative+ clear to follow, thank you kindly for your awesome presentation, dear man !

I grew up hating this plant, now I have a deep appreciation for it.

That's a handy fork-spoon combo, too.

Nice video. Thanks

Out on a Quick Bimble!!😄🕊

Thanks!

I’m going to try this! 🙂 Thank you!

great giving this a go tomorrow. Could do this as a veg for Sunday roast like you said and then make the gravy from the water to get all nutrients into the dinner

Thanks so much for instructional video! You have pleasant vibe and are really easy to learn from. I also loved all the white seeds floating through the air and the beautiful bird songs, for some reason the atmosphere reminded me of Zelda's Hyrule, haha. I'm excited to try some nettle tea!

I learn something new every time. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the good information.

This is something that most people from the Caribbean grow up on and fed it to their children also😊😊😊

nice video mate

Loved this and I am going to make some today - lovely, calming voice/video - thank you

This dude is adorable!

Thanks for the powerful video..

Staghorn Sumac berries are another amazing source of nutrients, tastes like lemonade when cold. North American Indians, certainly my friends on the Shubenacadie reservation in Nova Scotia, call it Coolade.

Thanks for your knowledge.

Thank you for your video.😊

After world war 2 in germany , i was told those who ate nettles survived the starvation .
