The nettles that you pick are they also known as stinging nettles in the UK? Do you have to wear gloves to pick them? Your English is exemplary and may your light shine from the west to the east.

Warm Regards Royd Sanders (sanders.r@sky.com).

Yes! Stinging Nettle. Urtica dioica, often known as common nettle, burn nettle, or nettle leaf... and yes gloves are great because they can sting!

Thank you for your kind words. Sending big love your way ~

I think that I shall be pinching my nostrils together with my thumb and forefinger as I sip the nettle juice. Can you blend it with ordinary tea in a pot to make it more pleasurable to drink?

Sure why not? Or try rose petals! I mix raspberry leaf, nettles, and rose often. Also, maybe try to drink it cold? To each their own, I love nettles cold!
