The Medicine of Pine
· 1 serving
The fresh needles and buds of Pine, picked in the springtime, are called “pine tops.” These are boiled in water, and the tea is consumed for fevers, coughs, and colds. The needles are also diuretic, helping to increase urination. This recipe combines pine tops with dried peppermint and catnip for relief from sinus and lung congestion.
