NETTLE TEA

My top health recommendation for the coming week? Try drinking one cup of nettle tea every day. This grows in abundance in our country, and perhaps for this very reason, is somewhat taken for granted. Yet, if anything deserves to be called a “superfood” (I actually hate that term), then surely this does. If it grew halfway up a mountain on a Malaysian island and somebody could make a lot of money by selling it, rest assured, there would be lots of talk about how good nettle is for you. It’s packed full of nutrients and, in traditional Chinese medicine, is one of the best blood tonics you can have.
