You're going to be out there eating your trees before you know what's happened, lol! Yes, those Colorado Blue Spruce tips are great in Sun Tea. Just put them in a big glass jar, with other plants if you want, and set it in the sun for a few hours. Nobody sells that flavor, but it's great! That's the base for a great Spruce Tree Sorbet, too! And then used the soaked needles for Spruce Tree Cookies, too! There's no end to the goodness of the spruce! :D
