Wendy, re: pine tip tea
What? Do you mean the tips of pine needles?
Have you learned about rose hips? I know you can make tea and other things with those, but I don't know where to start.

Re: Wendy, re: pine tip tea
yep - just take the bushy part off the tree, cut into 1/2 inch pieces or so, and add a handful to 2 C of boiling water and let steep for 10-15 minutes, just like you would a tea bag.
I have not learned anything about rose hips specifically, although I think I might have had some in one of Lisa's tea blends.
If you get a chance you should take one of her classes! She's doing some at Elder & Sage. http://www.elderandsage.com/
I have learned a ton. Yes, just about anything can be made into a tea or a tincture (a fancy word for plant material extracted in alcohol).
Jared is tea obsessed right now. He corrected me the othe day when I asked him to make me a chamomile tea. I guess it's only called "tea" when it's made from a tea plant, any other "something steeped in hot water" is an "infusion"
I still like chamomile tea the best, though....
JGE, we get a coffee house trade magazine here, and the most recent issue is all about fine teas. Thing Jared would like to give it a read before it hits recycling?
We also, for the record, get fine builder magazines, apartment management catalogs, and every sound and lighting magazine invented. Jim's career indecision is killing entire forests.
