Nettle and Camomile Tea - A natural antihistamine

This bright green nettle tea is a natural remedy you may like to try for the relief of hay fever symptoms.

I add camomile @teapigs renowned for its soothing and calming qualities and a squeezed lemon to the infusion too.

The lemon provides extra vitamin C to help lower histamine levels in the body and dramatically enhances the taste. In fact, nettle and lemon team up surprisingly well as a flavour combination.

Ingredients
 5 big handfuls of nettles (hard to measure when they sting- just imagine the size!)
 2 camomile tea bags @teapig
 1 tbsp local honey
 2 litres boiled water
 1 squeezed lemon (add to your cup)

 Method
 ⭐️Collect your nettles
 ⭐️Wash them in cold water to get rid of any bugs and dirt
 ⭐️Carefully put them in a Kilner jar @kilneruk (or any other jar with a lid), then add the water, honey and teabags
 ⭐️Close the lid and leave for an hour or more to infuse
 ⭐️Pour yourself a cup, add the juice of a squeezed lemon and enjoy.
