Pine Needle Tea - How to make it, History, Medicinal properties & Poisonous trees to avoid

Today we set forth to have a look at the famous pine needle tea. We open with a story about the scurvy riddled voyage of french explorer Jaques Cartier and how his crew were saved by pine needle tea with thanks to the Iroquois. We go on to show you how to identify the difference between spruce, fir and pine. We make some pine needle tea from the Scots pine tree and also show you which trees are poisonous and should not be used for tea! We also discuss why using the needles in combination with the inner 'cambium bark' of the tree can give the tea and extra medicinal boost. Be respectful to the trees and do not take too much from them. Why not forage for wind fallen needles instead of cutting fresh ones. As with harvesting any wild food, make sure you are 100% confident of the species you have and make sure its not poisonous. If you are in any doubt, be safe and don't ingest anything. Why not consult a local tree expert or find a group to help you if you are a beginner.
