Crazy Good Wild Mint and Stinging Nettle Tea

Edit: For the best flavor you MUST infuse the nettles and mint in the liquid overnight, or at least for, say, 6 hours or so. Made fresh it will be too mild. I wanted to have serving it fresh as an option to make it inviting for people to make but it's just not anything as strong as an overnight infusion. Make it and you'll see. It's soooo good.

I wrote off nettle tea (and other wild crafted teas) for years as a novelty and I was so wrong. If you haven't tried it, nettle tea made from fresh plants with a few leaves of mint is fantastic and absolutely worth the small effort it takes to prepare. Sweetened with a touch of maple syrup and a few extra mint leaves it makes a killer iced tea that'll make you feel like an elf.

I really love the flavor of boiling fresh plants here, but you can also use dried stinging nettle leaf sold in coops and high end grocery stores too. There's also many types of nettle tea sold online.
