Hi,

The boiled, young, tips of stinging nettles have been eaten by country
people since, at least, the days of the Romans., whom it has been suggested,
imported the plant to Britain for its food value.

I have never heard of anyone using the water for veg. I presume you mean
that she was boiling the veg. in it in order to gain extra nutrients!

We steam our vegetables and / I can imagine no benefit in using 'nettle
water' for this purpose.
