Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Fine-mesh Strain
  • Cheese Cloth

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Fresh Pine Needles (Or Dried Pine Needle Tea)
  • 2 Cups Water
  • 1 Cup Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the pine needles with cold water before chopping.
  • Coarsely chop the rinsed needles.
  • In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Add the pine needles and let them simmer for about 1 hour.
  • Add more water if the liquid level gets too low.
  • After one hour, taste the syrup. The liquid should be reduced to about half of what you put into the pot.
  • Remove from heat and allow your syrup to steep as it cools.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth for the clearest syrup, then transfer to a clean glass jar.
  • Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.
