Prepare the Nettle: Rinse the nettle leaves carefully under cold water. Although traditionally nettles are boiled to remove their sting, for this raw juice you will simply soak them in cold water for a few hours or overnight. This helps soften their sting and makes them safe for eating raw.
Squeeze the Lemon: While your nettles are soaking, squeeze your lemon and set it aside. Lemon not only adds flavor but also vitamin C, which can improve iron absorption from nettles.
Blend: Drain the nettles and add them to a blender with the lemon juice and water. Blend until smooth. For those who prefer a sweeter taste, add a little honey or your favorite natural sweetener.
Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture to remove any remaining fibers or solids, then pour your vibrant green juice into a glass.
Enjoy this nettle and lemon juice as a morning tonic or an invigorating afternoon refreshment. It is a simple, yet profoundly beneficial drink that supports overall health and vitality. On your wellness journey with this natural, preservative-free and raw elixir!
