Stinging Nettle
“Baking time again. Vanilla bows (Vanillekipferl). Rolling and turning the dough is almost meditative. Who makes most beautiful bows? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and sampling and licking has priority anyway. What are your favourite biscuits?”
We bake them too. They are maybe favourite. Maybe not most favourite, but I like it for sure. I wonder what you, mostly US members, think about this cookie?
As for tea? Well, pure nettle tea. Herbal again, bit stinging too. But nothing much to write about. It was just – herbal tea. I wonder if my taste buds are so meh, or it was just same all the time. Like it does not have any distinctive notes to write about. I know, it is herbal; but sometimes the blends are nice, something to enjoy, but recently from those Sonnentor teas I thing it is just – hot drink with herbal flavour. Maybe litte lavander or lemongrass can make those teas not so boring.
Oh dear! I haven’t realised it is that bad. But same here, nothing to enjoy, but good if needed for medical use.
Nettle can smell like fish food flakes to me, nutritious.
I used to drink nettle for my knees, but I find that strengthening the knee muscles is more effective. So it’s the stair master for me. I always thought nettle had a nutty and grassy taste.
