Walking in the wilderness...

Photos slightly blurry.....on my 5 mile walk this morning I stumbled across a ‘perfect’ patch of stringing nettles. Next time I will be bringing my gloves to pick some of these fresh nettles. These type of patches are really ideal for brewing, because they are extremely tall bushes and tucked away from the footpath. Any nettles that is easily accessible to animals or trampled on by the public are not so great to use for nettle syrup 🤪 Luckily, we can use ‘dried’ nettles if we don’t manage to source any.
