Water - 3 fl oz
Meyer Lemon Juice - 3 fl oz
Vodka - 7 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

First, you need to make a sugar syrup. Pour water over the sugar and stir until it comes to a boil.

Step 2

Next, go outside and gather some nettles. Separate the leaves, blanch them, and place them in a blender. Add syrup and lemon juice. Blend everything together, then strain to remove the pulp.

Step 3

Fill a regular three-liter jar with ice cubes and pour in the nettle mixture. Add vodka in a one-to-one ratio. Close the jar and shake it vigorously for about 10 seconds. Then simply strain it into cups or glasses.
