Read the previous part: Monarda is a beautifully blooming perennial

Cook, taste …

Juices (cocktails) from monarda with nettle

For 1 liter of water 1 kg of young nettle, 30 g of young shoots and leaves of monarda. Rinse all this and pass through a meat grinder, add 0.5 liters of cold boiled water, mix, squeeze the juice through cheesecloth. Pass the pomace again through a meat grinder, dilute with the remaining part (0.5 l) of water and squeeze out the juice. Combine it with the first portion of juice, add salt to taste, mix. Use for drinks with meat and fish dishes. Store in a cool place.

Well, most of all I like to add monarda leaves to tea, various soups and any salads. And do it from early spring to late autumn.
