COLD BREW NETTLES

There’s a small farm at the Union Square Green Market that sells its cold brew nettles. On hot summer mornings, especially after a run, we make a beeline to the purveyor for a cup and bring a jar of dried nettles home for the week. It’s so refreshing and packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. It’s referred to as a "multivitamin in a leaf”!
