Description: Pine Needle Tea BLUE SPRUCE 8oz Pine-Needle Tea Recipe Chop and bruise a good handful of young green pine needles. Remove any brown ends and chop into half-inch pieces. Place needles in a glass, ceramic, or stainless tea pot. Pour two cups of boiling water over the needles, cover the pot, and allow to steep for a few minutes. The tea will turn a pale green with a light, piney smell. Most of the needles with sink to the bottom and you can pour the tea in to a mug. It’s delicious. Some folks add a squirt of lemon or mix with another tea, too. As with any wild-collected herb, don’t use unless you are certain you’ve identified the plant correctly. Don’t use this or other herbal products without first consulting your health practitioner if you are pregnant, seriously ill, or taking prescribed medicines. Pine needle tea has significant amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A, and flavonoids that make it a citrusy flavoured tonic drink to forage in winter. It has been shown in studies to contain antiviral and anticoagulant actions, as well as offering respiratory support. While there are many ways to make pine needle tea the simplest is to extract its benefits in hot water by making a tea. Pine needle tea has a citrusy flavour with a hint of resin. Vitamin C is a vital nutrient necessary for health. It is a water-soluble vitamin with many benefits. Pine needles have 4 times as much vitamin C as freshly squeezed orange juice.
