Spring Recipes: Sting into Action Spring Clean Juice: Makes just over a pint * 1 cucumber * 1 head lettuce * 1 bunch celery * 10 young nettle tops (wild) * 10 young cleaver tops (wild) * Small bunch fresh chervil (home grown, optional) * 2 large fresh sage leaves (home grown, optional) * half a lemon or lime, not including the rind * 1 clove garlic Wash, drain and rinse the ingredients. Prepare the vegetables so that the juicer can juice with ease. Juice, strain (to remove any stray fibres) and drink within 20 minutes before it spoils. Add one or two apples if you find the above not quite pallatable. Green juices take some time to get used to. Urtica dioica Summer Recipes Autumn Recipes Winter Recipes
