Why White Pine Needles?

White pine needles contain high amounts of vitamin C. These needles are great for helping to loosen mucus while supporting the lungs, chest and respiratory system. White pine needles can be used in a tea or in a syrup. The syrup is more potent, especially when raw honey is added as honey also contains lots of its own health benefits.

When collecting your own white pine needles, ensure you are collecting from the right tree, and make sure you are collecting from trees that aren’t being treated with chemicals. A good way to make sure which is the correct tree, remember white has 5 letters and white pine trees have 5 needles per bundle.

Using White Pine Needle Syrup

Smelling like a pine forest, with an interesting, yer delicious flavour, this syrup makes a wonderful addition to:

• Teas
• Smoothies
• Drinks
• Cocktails
• Take for immune support on its own
• Use as part of a glaze or marinade

Though fresh pine needles are best for flavour and aroma, dried pine needles work just as well. Though, you may want to steep the dried pine needles for slightly longer.
