    Dude as a young cook I really enjoy foraging for ingredients to make my specials, and the fact that you just do this for your enjoyment at home is so cool. It really makes it worthwhile knowing people are attacked to that natural flavor.

    Powdered sugar is just blended sugar, so you are good. Also, you should make a chúng from the needles and use the syrup, I bet that would be good. Basically just put equal amounts by weight the tips and the sugar and it’ll make a syrup that’s really good

    I'm still building my background on Justin's life story as I'm marathoning all of his videos, but from what I gather - at the beginning of the video he has asked and directed his partner (or a dear friend) who he has invited with him on a winter hike during thick snows to film him biting trees while he screams into the sky... and I think that's really special.

    @cicada.and.pomegranate Рік тому

    I used this sugar technique to make some Eastern White Pine sugar cookies. The flavor is very subtle so they’re great if it’s your first foray into the conifer needle flavor, but I imagine you could also make a pine needle pesto. Considering pesto already has pine nuts in it, I think it’s fitting. I don’t intend to do this myself, but you can also buy pine nut oil (it’s pretty expensive though) and you could use that to replace the olive oil used in pesto for a 100% pine pesto.
