Relic,

Glad i didn't upset your Saturday night viewing of BGT! I used the HFW recipe so added the juice of 2 lemons and one orange. That was probably a good idea to lift the murky pond feel to it. Not that I have ever eaten nettels before - but it did taste mostly of nettles. Which is the point i suppose. Had a glass on Saturday night and it really was quite nice super chilled in the evening sun. Good luck if you give it ago again.

.... noticed on the dog walk last night one of the heads on the elder was in full bloom - only another 29 to wait for!
