If you would like to try pine needle tea, you can make it at home. - Firstly make sure to select the right pine tree. Be careful, there are some which can be poisonous. The white pine is the best choice for this. - Then select pine needles which are fresh and slightly greener than the others. - Get hold of these and wash them thoroughly to get rid of all the dirt.- After that chop them till you have about ½ - ¾ cup. - Now keep some water for boiling and add the pine to it.- Let it simmer for 5 minutes and take it down from the stove. - Let sit for 30 minutes to an hour.- The more you boil it, the stronger it'll be. So if you want a mild taste, bring it down after 5 minutes. - Alternately one could also boil the water and then soak the leaves in it after and let sit.- After steeping it, strain the leaves (they can get quite sharp) and you'll be left with a reddish liquid that mild and a little tangy to taste. - You could also keep it in refrigeration it if you prefer cooler healthy beverages.
