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.
