Anyone who makes their own pine needle tea, please tell me how you do that.
I've read so many versions. I just made a cup of ginger peach tea (bag). Earlier I took a piece off of a small pine tree. I washed it and snipped tiny pieces into my cup of ginger peach before pouring in the boiling water. I was underwhelmed.

I remember it from my Grandmother talking about it. During and after WWII it was used as vitamin source during times of rationed and not very nutritional food. "Piece of a pinetree"?. Europeans and Amercians used the early Spring sprouts. If in 2022 crippling trees by clipping their new growth for tea makes sense - not to me.

Oh my. What kind of trees are crippled by snipping leaves or needles? Best not bring out the pruning shears!
Are you a gardener? Taking the fresh growth off conifers in Spring not only reduces branches/tree to old growth but also changes its shape.
First of all, it's not spring, is it?
The little tree I snapped a branch off of is in the middle of a path that will be mowed at the end of this week.
The wind knocks off more limbs than I could ever hope to.
I've got a forester coming to survey for lumber prices.
I've got lots and lots of trees. Snipping off a few pine needles here and there will do no harm. I might even do that for Christmas decor.
I totally agree about good and bad pines for tea. I think the dangerous pines are out west.
I've done lots of research (YouTube included). There are many schools of thought. I was hoping to hear from someone who drinks it.
It's actually good for you.

Plenty of fun teabags to choose from. Don't need something from the yard.
