Ridiculous waste of money!
Absolutely ridiculous quantity for the money! Silly me, b/c the needles are so light weight I thought there would be a decent amount in a 2 oz bag. See the teaspoon in the pic? That’s to show how small the bag of needles is. The recipes for using pine needle tea medicinally call for 1/3 C of chopped needles to 2 cups of water. The bowl is a 1/3 C measure.....looks like I may get three 1/3 C (for total of 1 cup of chopped pine needles). Which will provide 6 cups of tea!?!The species is not identified. These are clusters of 2 needles - and there are a couple species with 2 needles which should not be used internally.Don’t waste your money. Go find a friend with a white pine tree. Unlike some herbs, pine needles aren’t rare, endangered or hard to find. White pine has a cluster of 5 needles and are totally safe!
