Iron Boosting Tonic

Iron Boosting Tonic

Ingredients:

2 cups filtered water

3 Tbsp loose nettle tea leaves

1 Tbsp unsulphured blackstrap molasses

1 tsp raw apple cider vinegar

Directions:

Boil water

Add the water, nettle tea leaves, and raw apple cider vinegar to a french press or tea pot. The raw apple cider vinegar helps pull more of the therapeutic properties out of the nettle tea.

Let it sit overnight or for at least 3 hours

Pour into a glass and add the blackstrap molasses. Blackstrap molasses has been shown to be more rich in iron than regular molasses.
