- Boil just over half a gallon of purified water and turn off heat once bubbling really good
- Pour over dried nettles in glass container
- Allow mixture to sit at room temperated for 8-12 hours. For a stronger extraction, use the full 12 hours. For a weaker extraction, you can use it anytime but the benefit it really in the long hall.
- When the time is up, strain off herbs (add to compost, spread in garden, strain a second time for garden or house plant fertilizer)
