How to prepare nettle honey?
The May nettle contains the most nutrients, as folk medicine has known for ages. During a walk in the forest you can gather nettles growing far from roads. At home they must be rinsed and ground in a meat grinder. Thoroughly squeeze the mash through a clean cheesecloth and mix the juice with liquid honey in a ratio of 40% honey – 60% nettle juice. Pour into jars, seal them and store in the refrigerator. Take preferably in the morning 1-2 teaspoons of nettle honey dissolved in a glass of water with the juice of half a lemon.
We give children a teaspoon twice a day throughout the winter.
