Fermented pine or fir tips?

[plastic-ninja]

I remember reading a while back about fermenting pine or fir tips to create a syrup without using heat so that the true nature of the fir is revealed in the syrup.
I think if recommended Douglas Fir as a good one to start with. Has anyone tried this? Is it worth doing and what did you do with it?
I’m trying to decide if I want some for putting in drinks.

This video on Townsend's channel on YouTube is about spruce beer, but I seem to remember that he discusses other species of evergreen trees and says that one of them is poisonous.

Douglas fir is fine, sort of lemony/grapefruity/resiny.

If you take very new tips and just cover them in sugar they'll leach out the liquid/oils/saps, etc., and it makes a golden coloured very flavourful syrup. Known sometimes as pine honey.
Nice stuff

At least two american pines are known to be toxic P. ponderosa and contorta. Norfolk araucaria is not healthy either and yew you all know.

Here Norway spruce is used in making syrup and spicing beer, the beer is not bad.
