White pine needle tea: How you can identify and make your own
The white pine is favored for its healing properties. First discovered by the Native Americans and later introduced to early settlers as a cure for scurvy (lack of vitamin C). The white pine contains 5 times the amount of vitamin C then a lemon.

Lastly let the needles soak in hot water. There you go now you have a healthy drink that all you need to do is go outside.

howdy there enosh! This is interesting, what does the tea taste like? I'm almost afraid to ask!
Well it tastes just like it smells if that makes any sense to you. Like a lot of pine teas it has a pine taste to it Although he can vary. All evergreens have a unique and different taste some tastes just like They smell, Some are strong and some on the vary faint.
