~For the Nettle vinegar:

-Fill a clean jar abour 3/4 full of fresh nettles
-Pour over raw apple cider vinegar until it completely covers the nettles. Give the jar a good stir and cover with a lid (better non metal lid, but if your's ismetal, just put baking paper between the lid and vinegar to stop corrosion)
-Leave the vinegar to sit in a cool, dark place to macerate for about 2 - 4 weeks.
-After this time, strain your vinegar and store in a cool, dark place (it will keep for at least 12 months) or refrigerate.
