蕁麻

Steeped a spoonful in hot water for ten minutes and the earthy taste is way milder than I feared. Nice to finally find a nutrient-dense herb that fits into my nightly wind-down routine instead of another cup of tea.

I’ve been adding a pinch to my morning tea for a few weeks now and it’s become a steady ritual. You can really tell it’s packed with nutrients just from the deep green color and earthy aroma it gives off. Feels like a solid, old-school herbal staple to keep around.

The sting when handling it raw is no joke, so I always wear gloves, but that’s exactly what tells you it’s the real deal. I’ve been steeping it as a daily tea and appreciating that traditional, nutrient-dense quality it’s known for.
