I used to have a white pine tree right next door to
my parents house...so I had free white pine needles
all the time! Unfortunately, my neighbors chose to
cut the tree down a couple months ago.
"Pine needles are now known to manufacture large
concentrations of vitamins A and C. It has been
estimated that a cupful of strong pine needle tea
has more vitamin C than the average lemon."
1 pint of boiling water
1 ounce of fresh white pine needles chopped fine
lemon
sugar
Pour water over pine needles and let steep for
at least 5 minutes.
Add lemon and/or sugar is desired.
