The sun is shining. It’s real sun. Not that fake sun that looks like sun but it’s actually a freezing cold day hiding behind the illusion of sun. It actual real SUN!!!! #☀️

Well we have plenty of these - I’ve been using mine to make fertiliser but perhaps I’ll try some cordial this summer!

STINGING NETTLE CORDIAL - This recipe makes a gorgeous, non-alcoholic Springtime drink.

When friends put it to the taste test, everyone agreed it was extraordinary.

With delicious notes of Gooseberry, it rivals even Elderflower cordial as the #1 hedgerow cordial.

Serving it to friends and family is an excellent introduction for them to ease into wild food.

———————————

THE RECIPE

⦁ 200g freshly picked nettle tops
⦁ 1kg granulated sugar
⦁ 40g citric acid (32 tbsp lemon juice).
⦁ 500ml water
⦁ Sterile glass bottles with lids, either screw or cork

Collect, wash and spin dry in a salad spinner 200g of nettle tops. Weigh out 1kg of granulated sugar.

Measure out 40g of citric acid. Citric acid is in supermarkets, health or home brew shops.

Add the granulated sugar, citric acid and water to a large saucepan, and heat the mixture until it reaches 60 degrees C, then remove from the heat.

Add the nettle leaves, stir well so they get covered with the liquid, then cover and leave for a week. Stir the mixture daily.

After a week, sterilise your bottles, then strain the liquid through a sieve or colander and bottle.

My batch lasted about four weeks. After opening a bottle, make sure that you refrigerate it.

The vibrant city of Exeter is just a 10 minute drive away, making The Kuhvee perfectly placed for a city break with a difference. You get a countryside retreat combined with all that Exeter has to offer just a stone’s throw away….
