Some people complain, but I like these videos that give a lot of information. If you're interested in learning something worthwhile, you need to learn to listen, else you walk away with a superficial understanding.

[@chrisrynn1]

A couple of simple ways to avoid cracking glass jars with boiling water: 1 heat the jar first with hot water from the tap. 2 put the nettles in the boiling pan. Then let it cool a bit before you pour it all in the jar.

[@Asharaeofficial]

Chris Rynn wish I read this before I just shattered my 2 litre jar

[@cj3720]

It might be better to use a Pyrex beaker. They're heat tolerant.

[@daviddacus8168]

Speech Data those are more for science experiments and they don’t have closable lids do they?

[@cj3720]

You asked for something that could take the heat. They qualify.

[@jalzinho1]

I just put a knife in the glass, before pouring in the hot water.

[@douggy3222]

It's always strange when you just get into something yourself, and then you check your e-mail and see someone you're subscribed to on KZbin is making a video about it. I'm particularly excited about making Oatstraw infusions, as my nervous system is very frail and it's supposed to be an excellent nervous/endocrine tonic. Great video.

[@TheseEyesGod]

Paul, I just love the way you share & teach without ever adding the least bit of commercialism - since after all you _do_ have a wonderful line of your own creations. It sets a great example, IMO. It's hard to trust those herbalists making vids just to sell their stuff - or that can be how it seems. Gotta tell you, I'm having great results with your JingRedux. Awesome stuff! ~♥~

[@Nyishar]

TheseEyesGod Thank you for this comment - I really appreciate it :)

[@TheseEyesGod]

Nyishar You're welcome - & you're really a class act, my friend - if I can call you that, LOL. I am so very much in Love with humanity - *all* of them. Yet special Heart ppl stand out - so easy to make that deeper, beautiful connection with sharing like yours - ♥ - Which so clearly comes from Heart. Oh, that those so lost to/in mind - the commercial ones, ever after a buck/euro - if they could only *see* this in themselves - & see this difference between mind acting & heart (or Heart, as I call it, for it's so much more). ~♥~

[@GunnerGibbons]

Paul, since I stumbled upon one of your vids after searching for wild edibles uk I am totally hooked. It's great to watch your no nonsence approach and great wisdom. I've been looking for such a long time for the exact vids you make. I've learnt so much from you and for that in truly grateful thank you, Chris.

[@Nyishar]

Thanks Chris! Glad to be of some use :D

[@im4485]

I just use insulated French Press... Keeps it hot for hours and makes just the strongest tea ever

[@Simon-pl2zi]

I drink Stinging Nettle infusions regularly because it works, but be aware this will detox your body (e.g. liver), so you may experience lower back aches etc when you first start drinking it.

[@hassandin9935]

Si mon I read your comments on couple of other videos. Because of you I started drinking nettle tea last year. I lost a lot of weight I think it was because I was drinking a gallon of nettle tea a day. I was drinking for hair regrowth, I noticed my hair got thicker but not new hair. I am thinking about massaging now for new hair. How’s your hair now ?

[@cynthialowery1063]

Si mon could you elaborate on the lower back pain from detoxing; I have using several detox herbs and have been in excruciating lower back pain, actually a throbbing like pain, I thought it was a bulging disc.

[@yvonnerahui8729]

Si mon ..a good detox should be done in spring each year with the new shoots. Look for the actual procedure..I've forgotten the herbalists name who goes into it very well..but it will be found on line somewhere.

[@yvonnerahui8729]

Hassan Din ..why not try stinging head with it..apply it fresh. Could be the answer??!

[@yvonnerahui8729]

Cynthia Lowery ..try whipping that area with it..or crushing it & rubbing in. A friend had someone do it & it worked. Did price somewhat but we'll worth it she said.

[@thealternativemystic7570]

Also keep in mind if you use demulcent herbs to off set the diuretic effects of nettle that most herbs like marshmallow root and leaf are best extracted as a cold infusion to acquire its demulcent properties. If you have powdered versions it would be best to extract them in some cold water then add it to the final mixture after the nettle has cooled. Good video though, its good to know how to do hot infusions without breaking every glass jar in the pantry lol

[@angelwhispers2060]

I really hope you didn't throw away those nettle leaves 0.o they are a great source of fiber! dried back out and ground up add them to any home made bread! Something with a strong flavor like Rye or Barley bread for best results.

[@roontunes]

I keep seeing folks making 'infusions' 'concoctions' 'extractions' etc with the added advice that this will ensure the body benefits from the maximum medicinal properties. But the body itself is designed as a perfect extraction system, surely simply consuming most of these medicinal herbs,fungi etc (when they are actually consumable) is adequate, the body will take care of the 'extraction'.

[@MrHarpette]

@whispers Actually you don't want to consume the leaves if those were not the very top ones AND if you harvested them late in the growth, because those can give you kidney stones.

[@suzannefurman1667]

I was going to try spaghetti sauce and soups. Even in my egg foo yung

[@MrHarpette]

@Mrssewhardtoplease Sorry i should've prefixed with "rumour has it that...". Watch other videos on the subject and you're bound to run into those claims, hopefully some of them have "evidence" enough, sorry but i'm too busy to try to retrieve them for you.

[@desertdiva9771]

I make my infusion exactly as you do but I use mason jars that are used for canning which will not break when pouring in boiling water. TFS👍

[@outlandishmccandlish3873]

Same with the half gallon canning jars because I make a gallon at a time and drink it every day.

[@Goldenpill]

Great video. I have just harvested alot of nettle and dried it. I will try this out this evening. Thank you for making these videos!

[@iwillnotseeyourreply.9235]

Use 1 weighted ounce (no eyeballing) and steep for AT LEAST 4 hours. You need to get every nutrient from the herb!

[@lxmzhg]

You need to know how much water is required for the 1 ounce of herb.

[@iwillnotseeyourreply.9235]

lxmzhg One quart is the general rule! :)

[@RubinsRacing350]

lxmzhg how did I will not see your reply see your reply????

[@farmerdude3578]

My cold tea I drink everyday. 3 tablespoons nettle, 3 tablespoon lemon balm, 1/4 teaspoon rose hip powder. Put in stainless tea seep. Put this in a half gallon jar and add boiling water. Sit with a lid and keep it hot as possible for 4 hours. After 4 hours remove seep , and put tea jar in fridge.

[@djxjxixsmjxjskjzxn1853]

If the kilner jar wont open DONT pry it open with a knife, youll likely chip the lid or jar. Pull the TAB on the orange rubber gasket; - THATS WHAT ITS FOR!

[@victorbunch7725]

Young-uns don't know that!

[@cookytrix]

priming glass with hot water works as well. its what ive been doing for decades. pour a small amount of hot water in and swirl it around to heat the glass a little. then start with the mass of hot liquid. the reason they shatter is from the mega cold to hot shock and vis versa.. just warm it first however and ull be good.

[@snipper1ie]

If you get it like that make nettle beer. I've been taking nettles all my life, learned at my mothers knee. Our house always had nettle available, as my mother collected nettles on every walk she took and dried them over the range. Just today, I made a nettle and wild garlic soup. If you have dandruff and itchy scalp, rub some nettle tea into your scalp. Flakes and itch will be gone.

[@hosoiarchives4858]

I wish instructional videos were shorter and to the point

[@sure5291]

[@purdyeverd5640]

[@psilopsybr]

You say to put the glass on wood instead of the counter. Did you not notice that the counter under the trivet was wood? I suspect that any difference in temperature was because the counter was a hardwood. A trivet would use a softer, warmer wood. The glass doesn't crack because it reacts with the cold counter. It cracks when the glass is cold and the hot water causes the it to expand too rapidly. A cold counter may facilitate that action. Generally, the best solution is to add a very small amount of hot water and swish it around to warm up the glass before adding a small amount more. When the glass is warm, add the rest of the water. You could also rinse the glass with hot tap water before adding the boiled water. The most important thing to do is to use glass that is designed to be used with hot food, such as the canning jar you used in the video. Don't use, for example, the jar that your mayonnaise came in. Also, wood does not "absorb a lot of the heat out of the glass." Wood is, as you state, "a neutral temperature" precisely because it does _not_ conduct heat rapidly. By contrast, metal feels cold because it does conduct heat well and does draw heat rapidly from the body. But I'd question whether the spatula could absorb enough heat rapidly enough to prevent breakage. There were most likely other variables at play when your jars broke.

[@janebennett9062]

Love all your explanations

[@nevernever7709]

My husband has had a kidney transplant and the years of horrible medications are taking their toll. I have read that nettle is bad for the kidneys? But I wish I could do something for him to help combat and strengthen him against the cost of pharmaceuticals that he has to take. Would this be good for him? Thank you

[@markk6585]

i was looking for the nettle infusion guide, and found it on the same page my favorite bike rider got videos, this is crazzzzzzzzzzzy

[@Noor-jw2tn]

I love your videos. Please, boiling water should not be used on herbs. Boiling water can destroy the nutients in the herbs. Use preboil water.

[@timbenham516]

Thank you yes he just destroyed most of the vitamin c from boiling it.

[@debragrogan6235]

Pulling the tab on the rubber gasket will release the pressure inside the jar. That's what they are designed to do.

[@phlearze]

Neat trick with the metal utensil, thanks Nyishar! Also love your knowledge of Tibetan and Indian medicines! Super rare to hear it referenced by a Westerner :D Just subscribed, look forward to learning more from your videos!

[@annemariekeightley2670]

I usually heat the jar a bit in the oven first

[@danam2584]

Now if i could keep the farmers from spraying all the nettles into extinction around here.

[@suzannefurman1667]

That's why i get IT at my local healthfood store

[@paulk5311]

i think a better way would be to bring the jars up to temperature in a hot water bath. just put in the amount of water you will be using and once the water gets hot enough add nettle and stir. remove from heat and place on a folded towel just like when you are canning.

[@cliona-3395]

Great video, thank you. For this infusion recipe, can I harvest nettles at any time of the year, or should this be done in Spring only? Hoping there's still time to harvest and dry to make this. I'll be collecting the seeds also - Thanks again for all the wonderful info :D

[@ChrisCollier]

Another great video Paul! I have some nettles growing in my little garden (I think I bought some seeds about 3 years ago) and looking forward to cooking them like spinach, as I here they are pretty good that way. I will definitely dry some and make this type of tea you mentioned! I've been taking the Jing Redux for about 2 weeks, and I'm not sure it is doing any good or not. I was at our dollar store today and seen a little girl, about 3 years old, picking up some kind of toy, and was right back to Bosnia where the kids would beg for candy (Bon-bons). I managed to hold myself together some how. Other than that, and it happens all the time so I'm not blaming your product, I have felt very well. Thanks for this post, Paul. I will try a nettle infusion soon! Chris...

[@ClearOutSamskaras]

Perfect video Paul, and not my first time watching it either!

[@heathergustafson4237]

Where do you find fresh nettle?

[@jackychandler8594]

I use dried nettle differently. I dry it, crush leaves quickly by hand. ( Very simple) then I grind them into a fine powder in a coffee grinder. 5 second job. I keep the powder, which is as fine as flour in a jar. I heat a cup of water and put a teaspoon of powder in it just as people put green tea bags in. I add lemon juice and drink it all. Nothing is wasted, and I get 100% of the nutrients by consuming the powder. Grinder turns it into dust. Mixes in water great. Can't tell I'm swallowing anything except tea.

[@rememberourmusic53]

Thanks for your video about this wonderful and beautiful plant. I boil 2 fresh nettle leaves for 1/2 hour and it produces an almost black liquid which is very delicious. I've only drunk 1 cup of nettle tea per day for 3 days and my previously painful knees have experienced no more pain. I wonder how long this will last. Perhaos I'll be able to go jogging again.

Thank you Paul! My son has been battling ezcema on his hands for years. It's so bad it has even affected his fingernails. The last thing the dermatologist suggested was a potent hydrocortisone ointment that here in the US cost $500/tube. You mentioned that nettles could be used to treat it. Could you please recommend how to use it and where I can get it. We live in the state of Minnesota- northern USA . We are in zone 4.

[@djyul]

First,i have just picked fresh young nettle heads/leaves, and when they were just on the boil,stopped and let it rest.I have just eaten the leaves,lovely nutty spinachy flavour.The water was brown,like normal tea,but with also the nutty flavour,very pleasant. So i have to disagree with your dried is best,surely with the drying process you lose vitamins etc? I have been searching,and on one vid they recommend that you only take 3 x tea per day,so can you OD on this and does it have negative effects???

[@250kent]

You talk about these herbs having a vast number of nutrients that all interact in many ways, I have always said we have much much more to learn in time. ?The pulp you discard, might retain some nutrients, that only your bacteria can break loose from the fibers in the digestive process. ? Is that sound logic.

[@asafeplacepodcast2690]

By the way the nettles I used were fresh, about 10 leaves in total stewed in a little water for about 40 mins. The tea had a very deep yellow brown colour

[@luisgrauer1198]

I liked the idea of a strong infusion but didn't want to boil water ( I heard somewhere that heat adversely affects some vitamins, may or may not be true ), so I did what he said to do without boiling and it seems to work just as well. I like mine at room temperature. After three days the taste becomes strong and I don't like it much.

+ashtarothmyqueen Pine needles can be prepared the same way, although they are tougher and a little harder to extract from than leaves, so it would make more sense to decoct them for 20 minutes or so in order to get a stronger brew.

[@shelbybettencourt4758]

Can a cold infusion be made? or Sun Tea? I feel like some of the nutrients would be lost by heating? Am I totally wrong or is it just a different set of nutrients? what I learned in herbal school is that depending on the infusion or way the herb is used will dictate the nutrient profiles obtained...

Also, I've watched and read a lot recently about these long infusions, but almost nobody uses a french press. That was the first thing I thought of when I decided to start doing these. Not only does it adequately strain the herbs, but by compressing it with the plunger you get even more goodness out of them. The infusion can then be transferred into a jar and placed into the fridge. Why are french presses so overlooked?
