This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Natural Medicine.

Minimum requirements:
 - Make at least one pint of stinging nettle leaf decoction
 - Herb must be fully chopped/sliced to ensure proper exposure to the hot water
 - Simmer for 30+ minutes

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
 - The stinging nettle leaf, either harvested by you or purchased
       - The sample must intact enough to be identifiable
 - The decoction at the beginning of the simmering process
 - The finished decoction in its labeled jar (with date) or in cup ready for use
      - Shown in such a way that the color change is evident
 
Thanks tiny ad, for helping me escape the terrible comfort of this chair.
