Lime and Nettle Iced Tea
Preparation Time: 5-10 minutes

- 2 limes, juiced
- Lime slices for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves (optional to muddle and garnish)

Method:
-
Steep the Tea: Begin by steeping the nettle tea bags in boiling water. Allow them to infuse for 3-5 minutes to extract the full flavour and benefits.

Chill: Refrigerate the tea for around an hour or until it's thoroughly chilled. Or speed this up by adding ice to your brew.
