Nettle Cordial Recipe

Our Nettle Cordial Recipe is a surprising use of nettles and it will leave you amazed by the flavours that can be achieved from the prolific weed that is stinging nettles.

I promise it won’t sting and in fact I bet you’ll soon be running off to your nearest nettle patch with a set of marigolds pulled up to your elbows. (marigolds are our preferred implements for safely and sting-free picking of the stinging nettle)

Ingredients:

– 200g nettle leaves
– 500g caster sugar
– 4 Squeezed Lemons or 4tblsp lemon juice
– 500 ml water

Recipe:

– Boil Nettles in water for 15 minutes
– Strain
– Add lemon juice and sugar and heat on low until sugar is dissolved
– Bottle into sterilised bottles and enjoy
