Fill a 16-ounce glass with ice and add half a glass of pine tea. Add elderberry syrup, then top off with carbonated mineral water. Garnish with slices of cucumber and a pine needle sprig for fun.

WHITE PINE TEA

Place 5 cups of water in a pot. Add a handful of freshly foraged white pine needles and bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and then strain. Pour some into an ice cube tray to freeze and refrigerate the rest. Your white pine tea will last up to a week refrigerated
