Pine Needles Whole Dried - forest Fresh Tea and Aromatic Infusions Evergreen sprigs that brew into a woodsy citrus infusion perfect for outdoor lovers seeking cozy inspired sip

As the name suggests, pine needles are the succulent needles of the pine tree. They carry the grassy, herbacious alpine flavour and aroma of evergreen trees, and can be made into a distinctive tea, steeped in sugar syrups, or enjoyed in dozens of different ways. Pine needles are rich in vitamin C and tannins, and are packed with the essential oil pinene. These compunds make pine buds highly sought after by herbalists all over the world, and mean that a hot cup of pine tea will lift your spirits and leave you feeling healthier and more contented. Making a pine needle herbal tea couldn't be simpler. Popular in Poland and Eastern Europe, this tea is made by steeping the buds in hot water until a bright, aromatic liquor is formed, and then straining out the buds as you would with a loose-leaf tea. Then, all that's left to do is enjoy your cup! 100% natural Brewing notes: chop the needles roughly before brewing so more surface meets the water, then steep a teaspoon per cup for 8-10 minutes in water just off the boil.
