This Nettle soda is a simple, naturally fermented drink with a refreshing flavour that’s surprisingly similar to lemon iced tea — light, tangy, and just a little earthy. Thanks to the fermentation process, it’s not only delicious but also packed with natural probiotics that can support gut health. Best of all, it only takes a few days to ferment, making it a quick and rewarding introduction to wild fermentation.
