Good product but a serious word of !!!CAUTION!!!
My roommate and I have noticed an instant improvement in our sinus issues from drinking stinging nettle infusions. We let it steep over night. I'm not going into detail because several other commenters have and that's not why I'm writing this review. I'm writing because:
!!!A WORD OF CAUTION!!!:
I keep seeing people recommending mason jars and boiling water. The second time I made this I was using these two things and made a very stupid mistake: even though I waited a few minutes for the water to cool down I didn't wait nearly long enough and when I put the lid on the jar it exploded about three seconds later- spraying glass, hot water, and tea everywhere. I only suffered minor burns on my hands but when I told this story to a coworker she told me about a neighbor that lost an eye in this same way. So be careful!!! I'm now using slightly cooler water and I'm covering the jar with cheesecloth rather than the standard lid.
