Known to be a great source of vitamin C, white pine needle tea makes an excellent remedy to fight the winter cold. It is easy to identify by its brush like cluster of needles and is the only 5 needled eastern pine. To make a tea, simply gather enough needles to fill a large mason jar. After stuffing the needles into the jar, fill the jar with boiling water and let sit for several minutes. The tea will turn a light yellow/green. Strain the tea and add honey for a healthy, warming tea. You may refrigerate any left over tea for later use. Enjoy!
