I know I'm not supposed to love food, however there is a love affair brewing with all the wonderful soups I'm eating and offering my students ,clients and family. Not until now have I found a good use for my Dried nettles and my overly popular VATA KAPHA population. Being pitta kapha sometimes I simply want to sit on my Vata folks (treat em like a rose) but John the nettles in the soup changed my momma, instantly! She has always thought yoga, massage and Ayurveda was cultish activity and this soup can I tell you, sparked a conversation, a healing, a love for life. Blessings to you John Immel. I owe you boss, cheers 10 stars :)
I make herbal infusions as Susun Weed teaches: one ounce by weight of dried herb in a quart jar, filled with boiling water and steeped 8-12 hours. Doing this with nettles, i've found that such a very strong nettle tea is a great base for a miso or mushroom soup. It is also yummy by itself with tamari or salt or seaweed and kelp added.
Could you give me an idea of how much nettle can be used each day, or per meal?
Yes Belinda, you can use nettles liberally like spinach, kale or other table greens.
