It’s true, if you’re using them medicinally it’s best to infuse them in cold water or for shorter lengths of time. Here, I’m using the nettle nutritionally so I’m mostly focused on that, which requires a long strong infusion. The herbs are just for flavoring.

Nice! I’ve always been under the impression that the reason certain herbs are used for nourishing infusions vs others came down to volatile oils. Ie nettles, oatstraw, red clover, and comfrey would all be great left to steep for hours and hours but things like mint, chamomile, and lavender have such high volatile oils that a long steep would be unadvisable, unless it were a cold infusion. One of the perks of studying Herbalism is learning that everyone has a different practice, so I’m happy to see this is a tasty treat for y’all!
