Pine Needle Tea

[utlom]

Anyone who makes their own pine needle tea, please tell me how you do that. I've read so many versions. I just made a cup of ginger peach tea (bag). Earlier I took a piece off of a small pine tree. I washed it and snipped tiny pieces into my cup of ginger peach before pouring in the boiling water. I was underwhelmed.

Try steeping fresh pine needles in boiling water for 10-15 minutes for a unique, piney tea! Happy brewing!

Pine needle tea? I've tried it too! So many ways to make it. Did you try steeping it longer? Maybe add honey or lemon?
