23 Pine needle foraging. Does anyone know if Pinus Radiata, also known as Monterey, a native to California & Mexico is any good? It's a weed here in Australia, & most sites say it can be made into tea. posted 3 years ago by Aussie_Lurker 3 years ago by Aussie_Lurker +23 / -0 14 comments share 14 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Do you mind sharing the process (recipe)? Do you just boil the needles and then drink? I have 30 acres of pine trees in my back yard...would love to put them to so good use.
Remember many pines are poisonous. Don't use Ponderosa or Balsam fair or yew.
Appreciate it much!
