TIPS
These tips can help you make a better Nettle And Parsley Detox Broth:
- Use Filtered Water: Ensures a pure-tasting infusion free from chlorine or impurities.
- Steep Adequately: Covering during steeping concentrates the flavours and nutrients.
- Choose Organic: Especially for nettles and lemon zest to avoid pesticide contamination.

- Savour Slowly: Sip at your own pace to enjoy the tonic’s herbal complexity.
VARIATIONS
- Ginger Kick: Add ½ tsp fresh grated ginger during simmer for spicy warmth.
- Citrus Swap: Use lime zest instead of lemon for a tangier twist.
- Spice Boost: Add a pinch of black pepper to enhance anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Herbal Blend: Combine parsley with fresh cilantro for a brighter herbal note.
- Sweet Note: Stir in a drop of raw honey after cooling slightly for mild sweetness.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: After cooling, store broth in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat Gently: Warm over low heat to maintain herbal potency and avoid boiling.
- No Freezing: Freezing may diminish the delicate aromas and textures.
- Batch Making: Prepare multiple cups at once and strain into individual jars for easy daily use.
