Pine Needle Tea
To Ease A Sore Throat
First thing’s first, you need to identify your pine tree. If you’re unsure here’s a great blog on identifying pine trees.

Ours is a Scots Pine.

While the kettle’s boiling, remove a large pinch of needles.

Let the boiled water cool for a moment, boiling water ‘burns’ the tea and dimishes its goodness.

When the needles begin to pale, remove them from the water.

Add a squeeze of lemon to taste. You could also add honey or maple syrup.

Sip...
