Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Fresh Spruce Tips
  • 4 cups Water
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. 1Place 4 cups of water into a medium-sized saucepan and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
  2. 2Once the water is boiling, carefully add the 1/4 cup of fresh spruce tips to the saucepan.
  3. 3Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the mixture simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes. You should notice a fragrant, pine-like aroma developing.
  4. 4Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully pour the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof pitcher or teapot to separate the spruce tips from the tea. Discard the spruce tips.
  5. 5Add the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the strained tea. Stir well until the maple syrup is completely dissolved and the tea is evenly sweetened.
  6. 6Serve the Dairy-Free Spruce Tip Tea hot immediately. This recipe makes 4 servings.
