Nettle is the herb everyone knows by the sting and almost nobody knows by the taste. Dried and brewed, it turns into something surprisingly savoury, deep green and mineral, closer to a good vegetable broth than to a flower or a fruit, with a clean finish that leaves the mouth feeling rinsed rather than dry. The cup pours golden-green and holds its colour well. It drinks beautifully plain but a squeeze of lemon lifts it and a little honey rounds the edges and it takes to both without losing its character. Five minutes in just-boiled water is enough, leave it longer and the green deepens. In blends, it pairs naturally with peppermint and lemon balm, and sits comfortably beneath raspberry leaf where you want a green, garden-like cup.
