Pine is jam-packed with vitamins A & C, even more vitamin C than orange juice. Naturally, this makes it a great immunity booster during the cold winter months when germs abound.
Pine needle tea is simple to make as well as a soothing sipper.
Use as little as a tablespoon up to a ¼ cup of pine needles depending on how potently-piney you want it. White pine trees make a delightful citrus-flavored tea.
Add the pine needles to a pre-warmed teapot. Pour in a cup of boiling water and steep for five minutes. Or bring water and pine needles to a rolling boil in a small saucepan. Turn off the heat, cover, and steep for five minutes.
Strain and enjoy. The flavor on its own is mild and pleasant. However, it’s quite lovely with a dash of fresh lemon juice or honey.
