How to Make Spruce Needle Tea - Easy Outdoors Cooking
How to make spruce needle tea over a campfire - enhance your wilderness survival skills by learning to make teas from nature.
The best time for making spruce needle tea is in the spring, but you can make it all year round. To prepare spruce needle tea, just choose the lightest green needles, as they are the freshest. Either crush or chop the needles. Do not boil the needles in water—instead pour half a liter of boiling water over a tablespoon or so on to the crushed needles. Let them sit for ten to fifteen minutes.
Spruce needles contain a lot of vitamin C and other ingredients that are useful to your body. Spruce can be used as a preventive measure for scurvy in an environment where meat is the only prominent food source.
But did you that know spruce needle tea is not actually a tea, because it is not made of real tea. So it is better to call it spruce needle tea drink or spruce tea drink. And keep in mind that it is not wise to consume spruce needle tea too often for a longer period of time.
