Have you wondered how to make nettle tea with nettle powder? Look no further, this post will tell you all you need to know to make the perfect homemade nettle tea with a few simple steps!

What is nettle tea?

Nettle tea is a tasty and healthy herbal drink that is made from the leaves and/or the stems of the stinging nettle plant (Urtica dioica). Nettle tea has a light yellow or green color thanks to the green parts of the nettle used for making the tea. The tea has a slightly earthy flavor and it can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Nettle tea is highly popular thanks to the amazing nutritional value it has and the many potential nettle tea health benefits. Firstly, nettle is packed with calcium (an excellent plant-based source of calcium!) and iron. It is also rich in many vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and selenium. Many people also enjoy nettle tea to prevent hair loss and thinning, as it is thought to strengthen hair.

Nettle tea is a simple and tasty way to incorporate the health benefits of nettle into your diet. With just a few ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can enjoy a refreshing and nourishing drink that is perfect for any time of day.

What ingredients do I need for making nettle tea?

Nettle tea or nettle leaf tea is typically made from the big green leaves of nettle. If you get access to fresh nettle leaves, you can use them for making a tea (after washing them well).

However, as nettles grow seasonally and only in certain regions, usually nettle tea is made from dried nettle in the form of whole leaves or nettle powder. Nettle powder is one of the easiest ways to make a nettle tea. 

Besides nettle powder, you only need hot water and if you’d like, a sweetener such as honey.

How do I find a good quality nettle tea powder?

There are many kinds of nettle tea powders (nettle leaf powders) in the market. It goes without saying that they also vary a lot in quality, in terms of taste, smell, and nutritional value.

One of the most important criteria for a high-quality nettle powder is its origin; does it come from unpolluted and clean nature? If you can, always choose a nettle powder with a country of origin that is known for its clean nature, such as Finland, Sweden, or Canada.
