Nettle tea is a type of tea that is not tradeable, so you have to make it yourself. ..
To make tea, you’ll need at least level 20 cooking.
Nettles are a members only item, which means they are unavailable to Free to Play accounts. ..
Step 1: Obtaining Nettles
To pick nettles without taking damage, you’ll need to find gloves. If you don’t have any, you’ll take damage when picking nettles.
The Beekeeper’s Gloves from the beekeeper random event are not effective.
There is a high chance you have some gloves in your bank already, but if not, leather gloves are easy to obtain.
Edgeville is a convenient spot for gloves and nettle-picking. The leather gloves spawn next to the bank, and the nettles growing there are only 33 steps away from the bank booth.
If you want to gather nettles, the maps below show all the locations where you can get them.

Wearing gloves will help protect you from stings from nettles. Clicking on a nettle plant will give you a dose of the plant’s sting extract. ..
There are no skill requirements for picking nettles, and you can take as many as you need, as they respawn faster than you can pick them.
Step 2: Preparing the Bowl
With the nettles obtained, it is time to make the tea in a bowl.
While you can make a bowl yourself, it’s faster and easier to pick one up at an item spawn or buy one from most general stores.
Edgeville has a general store that sells bowls for 5 gold each. It’s in the northwest corner of Edgeville, marked with the pot icon in the map.
To make tea, you need water in your bowl. Bring the bowl to any water source (except wells) on the map to get the desired amount of water. ..
Edgeville has always been a strong community, and I’m confident that it will continue to be so in the future. The people here are friendly and welcoming, and I know that we’ll be able to help each other in whatever way we can.
The house just south of the general store has a sink and a stove. You can fill it with water by clicking on the bowl, then the water source.
Do not skip a step and heat the water before putting in the nettles! This will ruin the tea. ..
Step 3: Creating the Nettle Tea
Nettle-water is a potion that can be created by adding nettles to a bowl of water. ..
You can make nettle-waters in various ways, including making them all at once. Then, go to any stove, range, or fire and use the nettle-waters on it. ..
Nettle water can be dangerous if you drink it mistakenly. ..
Nettle Tea is a tea made from the leaves of the nettle plant. It is a refreshing drink that can be enjoyed any time of day.
If you complete the 52 Cooking experience, you’ll get the tea and be rewarded with 52 Cooking experience.
There is a chance you can’t cook the Nettle Tea and end up with an empty bowl and no experience, losing the water and the nettles. If so, you’ll have to start over.
Nettles can help you feel better if you’re feeling sick. ..
Cooking is a skill that allows you to make tea. At level 20 Cooking, you have a 55% chance of successfully making the tea.
Cooking level 54 will ensure that you always succeed with making Nettle Tea. ..
Nettle Tea can be made on a range or on an open fire, but using the Hosidius cooking ranges in Kourend will increase your chances of success.
Uses for Nettle Tea
Nettle Tea is used to help improve cognitive function and memory.
Nettle Tea is a drink that can be consumed to heal small amounts of health and restore some run energy. It is a required item for the Ghosts Ahoy quest, where an Old Crone will give you a porcelain cup for you to pour Nettle Tea into. She will also request that you add milk to it. And it’s used in the Skippy and the Mogres miniquest, where you need to pour the Nettle Tea on Skippy’s head to sober him up.
