Nettle Turbo Cider

Post by EliteEvil » Sun Mar 10, 2013 6:52 pm

So I have some nettle tea I got from holland and barrets and it takes kinda sludgy and muddy - assuming it is like "real" nettle tea might work well in turbo cider to make it thicker?

Anyone tried it?

Bought some "Nettle" flavoured ale that was cheap in my local Bookers - 8 bottles for a fiver :D

Drunk one and found out why :-& I forced it down tho - and got 8 brown 500's for my pain. By all means, if you like nettle... but I find it to be a taint, not a flavour - it ruins anything it touches !

Nettle wine is good though.
