Best Grocery Loose Nettle Tea Isirgan Otu Cayi 35g

Nettle tea, known in Turkish as ısırgan otu çayı, is a caffeine-free herbal infusion made here from a single ingredient: dried nettle leaf. The pack contains 35 g of loose leaf and is made in Türkiye. The infusion is pale green, with a mild, grassy and slightly earthy taste that many people soften with a slice of lemon or a little honey.

The label gives a simple method: add two tablespoons of the leaves to two glasses of water, boil for fifteen minutes, then leave to infuse for two to three minutes before drinking. In Turkish homes herbal teas like this one are usually brewed in a small pot on the hob and served in tulip glasses after a meal or on a quiet afternoon. The leaves can be strained out and the brew kept in the fridge for a short while to drink cold.

Keep the bag closed, in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture, and check the best-before date printed on the pack. This is a food product, not a medicine; if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, ask a health professional before drinking herbal teas regularly.
