Many years ago in Harrods, I had a drink in their Juice Bar; it contained watercress and black pepper but I can't recall what other ingredients might have been in there. Does anyone here have a recipe that I could try please? I know that one should not drink the juice alone as it affects the stomach lining so what would go with it do you suppose?
I'll try that again!
How about these recipes TA; you could use honey instead of the stevia to sweeten it a bit, but I suspect it might not need either.

Hi TA,
How about avocado, parsley,coriander & yellow tomatoes (to keep the green colour).
You could always add the chicken stock if you wanted it more liquid. I would, of course, use some of my nettle tea (nettle tops with boiling water poured over & left to steep overnight, then strain & use the liquid.....it really is delicious on it's own).
I know my last statement will make Sue shudder......I understand this as it took me years even to try it but I loved it after one sip.

Hmm, I wanted to keep it purer than that, not adding in too many other flavours. I don't dislike nettles - I just can't find them - they are more elusive than Sloes.
As an aside, I have been drinking Mint Tea, I have a plethora of mints to choose from in the garden and it is cheaper than Yorkshire tea with milk...
I'll try that again!
Lots of new nettles here, maybe I should try it!
Trying to enjoy life as it is
If you try it Aly only use the top 4"- 6", wash gently & put in a large bowl & pour boiling water over them, steep for a few hours (I tend to leave mine overnight), sieve out the leaves & add to compost heap or feed to the chickens, then drink. I promise you will be surprised at how nice it tastes......I was very surprised. It helps to keep my hay-fever under control.
