Which pine tree makes the tastiest brew?

Do you normally drink tea? Especially fruit teas? If you don't most of the odd stuff tastes like pap. I started off drinking fruit teas with a bit of sugar and then slowly weaned myself off the sugar and finally moved onto the 'hard man' : ) stuff like nettle tea (initially tastes like a warm muddy puddle). Can take a while if you hate the stuff mind.

Sorry if I've gone over old / redundant ground - just a thought. :cool:
 
Most Wild foods are a shock to our pampered western palate.

There is a reason we chose to abandon the hunter gatherer lifestyle and chose cultivation.

Pine needle tea is one of those brews that i actually enjoy. Young fresh needles of Scots pine steeped for a minute or 2 is a refreshing brew. I also like dandelion coffee as long as you remember its not supposed to be coffee.
 
I agree with the Scots Pine. It gives a great and very refreshing brew. I tried it for the first time recently and was surprised how good it was.
