pine needle tea
(1 RATING)
I'm a fan of The Hunger Games. I got this recipe from the Unofficial Cookbook. A very interesting recipe with an unusual flavor...earthy: The longer you steep pine needle tea, the stronger it becomes, making it more of a medicine than a tea. Drink the tea as a cold or flu remedy or to boost the immune system. It is said that Katniss concocted this tea while learning to live off the land.")
