However, the nettles must be prepared hours in advance.
“Let the cold water steep for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator (I do 1/2 gallon) and strain,” she said.
“Hot water let sit until lukewarm or you can put it in the fridge and let it steep overnight, just like cold water.”
Many people upvoted the post and said they wanted to try the tea to improve their appearance.
The woman responded to a commenter suggesting that the tea could also help slow signs of skin aging.
“I found an overall reduction in redness, but nettles are also full of nutrients that help repair sun damage,” she said.
“I can imagine they would be beneficial in combating aging.”
