Spring Refresh: Nettle Tea Mojito for Vitality & Wellness

Spring is in the air, and that means it’s time to refresh and renew—inside and out! This Monday, we’re mixing up a Nettle Tea Mojito, a revitalizing herbal drink that brings the benefits of nettle into a crisp and cooling mocktail. Perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon or as a refreshing boost to your wellness routine.

Why Nettle?

Nettle is one of nature’s most nourishing herbs, often considered a springtime elixir due to its ability to awaken and rejuvenate the body. It’s packed with vitamins A, C, and K, plus essential minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium. Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, nettle supports the immune system and provides relief for seasonal allergies, hay fever, and skin irritations. Plus, it’s one of the few herbs that’s safe for expectant mothers, offering a natural source of folic acid—nature’s own prenatal vitamin.

Nettle Tea Mojito Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 lime

  • 1/2 cup hot water

  • 2 teaspoons dried nettle leaves

  • 1/2 tsp raw honey

  • 1 cup crushed ice

  • 1/2 cup sparkling water (or cold water)

  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Brew the Tea: In a Fresh Press or teapot, steep 2 teaspoons of dried nettle leaves in 1/2 cup of hot water for about 5 minutes.

  2. Sweeten It Up: Divide the brewed tea between two cocktail glasses. Stir in 1/4 tsp raw honey into each glass until dissolved.

  3. Add Citrus: Squeeze half a lime into each glass and stir well.

  4. Muddle the Mint: Tear the mint leaves slightly to release their natural oils and divide them evenly between the glasses. Use a spoon to muddle them at the bottom.

  5. Ice & Sparkle: Fill each glass with crushed ice, then top off with sparkling or cold water.

  6. Garnish & Serve: Add a few whole mint leaves on top for a fresh and aromatic touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
