Steeping dried leaves and drinking tea dates back thousands of years. It’s thought to originate in China, where it was used medicinally.
Today, people drink tea for many reasons, including its taste, stimulating or calming properties, and health benefits.
One popular herbal tea is nettle tea.What is nettle?
Nettle, or stinging nettle, is a shrub that comes from northern Europe and Asia. Its scientific name is Urtica dioica.
The plant boasts pretty, heart-shaped leaves and yellow or pink flowers, but the stem is covered in tiny, stiff hairs that release stinging chemicals when touched.The leaves, stem, or root from the nettle plant can be crushed and made into powders, tinctures, creams, teas, and more. While people have used it for centuries as an herbal medicine, modern research also supports many of the potential health benefits of nettle and nettle tea.
1. Urinary tract health
Nettle may help flush harmful bacteria from the urinary tract. This can benefit people who have urinary conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH causes an enlarged prostate gland in men. This can cause pain or other problems urinating.According to one 2013 study Trusted Source, men with BPH who took nettle extract had fewer clinical symptoms than those who didn’t.
Nettle may also help support any medications you’re taking for infections or conditions related to the urinary tract. Talk to your doctor first about any possible interactions between herbal remedies and medications you take.
2. Arthritis and pain
Nettle has historically been used to treat pain and sore muscles, especially related to arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation suggests that nettle tea may also reduce the inflammation and pain association with osteoarthritis.3. Blood sugar management
Nettle has shown some promising effects on blood glucose levels. It may help the pancreas make or release more insulin, the hormone that lowers blood sugar.In a 2013 study Trusted Source, nettle leaf extract lowered blood glucose and A1C in a group of people with type 2 diabetes who were taking insulin as well as oral diabetes medications.
4. The power of polyphenols
Nettle is high in plant chemicals called polyphenols. A review of the research on polyphenols suggests that these powerful compounds may play a role in the prevention and management of chronic diseases related to inflammation, such as diabetes, obesity, cancer, and heart disease.In particular, polyphenols from nettle extract have shown some exciting potential for treating breast cancer Trusted Source and prostate cancer Trusted Source. Plants like nettle also contain potent antioxidants, which are substances that protect the body from aging and cell damage.
How to make nettle tea
Ingredients
1 cup of nettles
4 cups of water
1 tbsp of sugar or honey (optional)Method
STEP 1
Find some nettles and cut of the leaves with as little stem as possible (the older looking nettles are sweeter).
Fill up a cup full and wash them thoroughly in warm water and check for insects.
Put the nettles in a large saucepan with 4 cups of water and add the sugar or honey.STEP 2
Put the pan on the hob and bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
Taste the tea and add any more sugar if needed.
Serve in mugs with a nettle for decoration.STEP 3
(For the iced-tea) Put the tea on the side for 30 minutes then transfer to the fridge for 2 hours. Serve with ice and a nettle for decoration.
Change Your Life For The Better
Here is a few simple changes that will make you feel better and probably save you some money.
1. Eat At Home More Often
Benefits: You’ll eat healthier and spend lessCook your own meals. Instead of vegging out on the couch eating a burger from a take-out joint, get a pound of ground beef and make burgers tonight, spaghetti and meatballs tomorrow, and sloppy joes the day after that.
The combined cost of making all 3 meals will be about as much as one takeaway order.
You’ll also know what’s in the food you’ve made.
Grabbing a quick bite to eat or picking up some fast food on the way home is the more convenient way to prepare dinner, but it’s not the healthiest nor cost-efficient.Check out this topic for some great recipes.
EASY RECIPES TO TICKLE YOUR TASTEBUDS. (Right click on the link and choose “Open link in new tab” option from drop down menu)2. Walk To The Grocery Store
Benefits: Cardiovascular exerciseGoing for a walk every day is an excellent way to improve your cardiovascular health, but few people find the time to fit one in. Squeeze that little extra bit of cardio into your day by substituting your drive to the grocery store for a walk instead.
Most people live within a mile of the nearest grocery store, and you’ll only be able to buy what you could carry home. You won’t just be exercising, you’ll be saving money while you do it.3. Start The Day With Lemon Water
Benefits: Hydration, better digestionDon’t be one of the suckers who spend needlessly on detox waters that cost an average of £2-£5 per bottle.
Hydrate your body while detoxing it by guzzling down a large thirst-quenching glass of homemade lemon water.Slice a whole lemon and soak a few pieces in lukewarm water for about half an hour.
Drinking lemon-infused water has numerous benefits for one’s health. Not only does it help with digestion and hydration, but it also contains 100% less artificial sugar than a can of Coke
4. Choose Brown Bread Instead Of White
Benefits: More fiberMaking the switch from white bread to brown bread is a simple lifestyle hack one can easily integrate into everyday life. All you have to do is reach for the loaf of whole wheat bread at the grocery store instead of the usual white bread.
Not only does brown bread have more fiber and nutrition, but it also has more flavor than white bread. If you’re not thrilled about making the change, ease yourself into the switch by using brown bread for French toast, toast, then work your way towards eating it plain.5. Take Cold Showers
Benefits: Improves circulation and alertnessFew things are more wonderful than a long, steaming hot shower on a cold day—the type of shower you never want to leave. Besides giving you warmth from top to bottom, inside and out, these ‘steamers’ don’t provide any benefit. The high temperatures are actually more detrimental than they are beneficial.
Cold showers, however, are a fantastic way to bring your alert level up in a hurry and speed up your metabolism. If you’ve just had a killer workout, a cold shower will also help you recover quickly.
EASY FERMENTED CUCUMBERS (HOMEMADE PICKLES)
Make your own zesty fermented cucumbers (homemade pickles) with just a few simple steps.
A quick and easy way to get more fermented foods into your diet.
Hearing the word “fermented” is enough to make some people’s stomach churn. But not all fermented food is as gag reflex-inducing as a century-old fermented duck egg. In fact, some fermented foods are downright delectable such as this cucumber recipe
Fermented foods are an excellent source of lactic acid bacteria that help restore order to our digestive systems.
Pickle lovers out there, be warned. Not all pickles meet the criteria.
Only Lacto-fermented cucumbers should be eaten for health purposes. The others should just be enjoyed as the pickles they are.Lacto-fermentation is a type of fermentation that uses lactic-acid-producing bacteria to break down the sugar in foods.
The easiest way to lacto-ferment is by adding brine to a food that has natural lactic acid bacteria, for example, cucumbersTRICKS FOR GETTING CRUNCHY PICKLES:
1. Fresh…freshly-picked cucumbers are ideal. If you grow them yourself, make them the day you pick them.
If you are buying them, try to get them from a local farmer’s market so they are as fresh as possible.
At your local grocery store, look for local, firm cucumbers.2. Pickling cucumbers yield the crunchiest pickles.
3. Cold… soak the whole cucumbers in an ice water bath for a couple hours. Submerging cucumbers in an icy bowl of water in the fridge will help them firm up/stay firm.
4. Trim the end… Cut off the blossom end of cucumber- the opposite end of where it was attached to the vine.
The blossom-end of a cucumber is said to contain enzymes which can cause mushy pickles.
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp sea salt
1 quart of filtered water (chlorine free)
3 large cucumbersOPTIONAL ADD INS
1/2 onion, sliced into thin rounds
2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped or 1/2 tsp dried dill
2–3 peeled and smashed cloves of garlic
one bay leaf
4–5 black peppercorns
2–3 small hot peppersINSTRUCTIONS
1. Make a brine with 2 tablespoons salt and one quart (0.95 Litres) of good quality water.
2. Cut cucumbers into 1/2 inch slices (if you slice them too thin, they may get soggy.)
3. Place cucumbers and any optional add ins that you desire into a 1/2 (2.25litres) gallon mason jar.
4. Pour brine over top to cover cucumbers.
5. Add a weight to keep the sliced cucumbers under the brine.
6. Place an airlock lid onto mason jar, wrap jar with kitchen towel to block out light, and place on kitchen counter for 2-5 days (depending on your taste preference)
7 Then refrigerate. **
8. ENJOY!!!** Fermentation is affected my many factors, including temperature. These fermented cucumbers can take anywhere from 2-5 days to be perfectly sour, depending on the time of year and temperature. I would taste them after 48 hours and go from there. Everyone has a different taste preference.
NOTES
1. Use airlock lids for fermentation to ensure that the fermentation remains anaerobic (no air gets in and no mold spores or other airborne microbes get in.)
But if you do not have one, you can place any mason jar lid on it lightly (meaning don’t screw it on completely) so that air bubbles can escape as the pickles ferment.
By loosely covered, place the lid on without screwing it on. You don’t want anything to fall into it but you don’t want a tight seal as fermentation creates bubbles and could explode from pressure. Once refrigerated, the pickles have lasted up to 3 months.2. You’ll want to add a weight on top of your cucumbers so they stay below the brine.
You can use glass fermentation weights made specifically for that purpose or get creative and use sterile pebbles or other clean/sterile items.
You can also simply fill a small ziploc bag partway full, close it, n gently set it on top of water. This pushes solids down so they won’t mold, yet it’s light enough for fermentation bubbles to escape around it.
If you use some flat stones of a good size, please boil to sterilise.3. Organic saurkraut or shredded carrots or radishes can also be used in place of the cucumber as long as it is “raw” it still contains live bacteria.
If it has been heat treated to can or jar it, the beneficial organism are no longer living.4. Fermented foods will have a bit of bubbly activity. Totally normal.
White dry residue is not. Just smell it. Or taste just a titch. Your mouth should tell you if it is spoiled or not.
Also, if it is slimy, throw it out.
If in doubt, throw it out and try again. People have flocked to see an icicle “phenomenon” created by a burst water main on a street.
The strange structure in Staunton, Gloucestershire in the UK was formed as cars drove past the water main in freezing conditions this week, splashing the water onto a hedge by the side of the road.
A Top Tip to make sure you never slip on icy pavements.
With driveways and paths turning into hazards, TikTok creator @mels_family_life shared a clever hack to prevent you embarrassing yourself.
Branding it an “absolute game changer”, the mum-of-two revealed she puts socks on over her shoes.
She said: “So this is happening right now.
“When it’s icy, socks and shoes… game changer.”
Pickled Beetroot
There are just 3 ingredients required to make pickled beetroot. That’s all!
Whole Beetroot – Try to use beetroot that is all similar in size and that are not really small or really large, but somewhere in between.
Vinegar – Some swear by using malt (brown) vinegar as opposed to white, but white vinegar is fine too.
Sugar – Soft light brown sugar gives a slightly more caramelised flavour here but if you don’t have that, most sugars will get the job done fine. White is fine.
It really is very simple to make your own pickled beetroot. All you really need is time, there’s actually very little hands on with this!
Ingredients
Here is what you will need to fill approx 1 x 500ml Jar. (There may be enough for a 250ml jar too, depending on the size of your beetroot.)550g (19.4 oz) of Raw Whole Beetroot
270ml (1 + 1/8 Cup) Malt Vinegar
3 – 4 tbsp Soft Light Brown SugarEssential equipment
Large Lidded Saucepan
500ml Preserve Jar
Small Saucepan
Sharp Knife1. Wash the beetroot and trim the stems
2. Place in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil
3. Simmer with a lid on for 1 hour
4. Dissolve a little sugar into vinegar over a low heat
5. Peel the skins off the beetroot and slice thinly
6. Place the beetroot into sterilised jars and cover with hot vinegar
7. Seal and allow to cool completely
How to sterilise your jars
1. Preheat your oven to 190°C/Fan 180°C/374°F and wash your jar(s) in hot soapy water.
2. When there is about 15-20 minutes left on your beetroot timer, place your preserve jar(s) onto a baking tray with the lids off/open. Don’t forget to remove any rubber seals!
3. Place them into the centre of the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This is all you need to do to sterilise your jars.
Just make sure you don’t touch the inside of the jars with anything other than the beetroot/vinegar, or it will no longer be sterile.Here’s a great cheat to make your own pickled beetroot
1. Buy a vacuum packed, precooked, pack of 4 beetroot. They are already cooked and ready to eat.
They are usually by loose fruit and vegetables in a supermarket.
2. Check they are peeled properly, so only keep the deep red, not the black bits on the vegetable.
3. Slice and cut the beetroot so are medium thick circle shapes.
4. Mix white or malt vinegar with ½ teaspoon of sugar, measured to half way to the sterilised jar you are using.
5. Place the beetroot in the jar. Fill with the vinegar and sugar mix as close to the top as you can.
6. Then keep in the fridge if you like your pickled beetroot cold.You can also replace the beetroot with Onions (red, Spanish onions, shallots, Baby onions), or cucumber, or red cabbage.
