Yew is Incredibly Poisonous, only the red flesh of the berry is non toxic.

The toxins are especially potent in the seeds and fresh tips.

Must say I tried making PN Tea yesturday, tasted of Hotwater.

But it cleared my cold over night. Would be good if it had a taste to it.
Prehaps I did it wrong?

if you're at home, peel an apple and lob that in a pan of water with the chopped up pine needles
tastes like....well, nothing else really, its just lovely :)

I did this on a scout camp - cucked an apple core in with scots pine needles

We called it Pine-Apple tea and the scouts loved it :)

I tried some pine tea last week at home after a walk. Chopped up the needles and put a good measure of them in a cup of boiling water to infuse.

I can't say I was bowled over, but it certainly tasted similar to what I'd imagined it would taste like; due to the aroma no doubt. I'm sure it would taste better in the woods.
