That was very cool. My grandma would always make a ginger tea with lemon and honey for me when I was sick. She would sometimes put an herb called recao into it which gave it a slight minty and herby flavor. I wonder if this was just a Puertorican version of this.
Edit: Recao is Culantro in English
Also, I really appreciate that you included the vitamins that can be found in the pine.

This looks great. I remember my grandmother giving me oregano tea for an upset stomach, so disgusting, but very effective. Thanks for the recipe.

My family makes similar recipe with spruce tips. I really like the taste and smell of it and take it without medical need for it. I guess, i crave for it because my body needs it.

When I feel a cold or flu episode trying to gain a foothold, I knock back ceyane pepper mixed in 2 fingers of rum.

I have pine, fir and redwood but no spruce 😢

[@apinchofpatience]

You could do the same thing with pine needles! They have very similar properties, astringent, antiseptic, and high vitamin C. It's a different flavor but still very nice! If you do use pine, I like to give them a rough chop.

@@apinchofpatience Monterey pine ok? I know different pines have different tanin levels but I never investigated Monterey pine because it's mostly just a pest

[@apinchofpatience]

@billvan5219 I believe so! You could do your own internet search but I'm fairly certain that's fine to use, I mostly have white, ponderosa, and lodgepole in my area. 😄
