*Some herbalists use a 'long infusion' method when wanting to extract maximum 'goodness' from Nettle.
In this case, we allow the infusion to steep for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight, from 10-20 hours. (maximum 24 hours please, or make fresh)
It is believed that with 'long infusing', Nettle releases the highest concentration of minerals and is probably my favourite way to enjoy the benefits!
For 1 litre/quart, use 4-6 tablespoon of dried loose leaf nettle, or 8-10 tablespoon of fresh leaves -- to make a therapeutic tea
