That sounds wonderful, Amy. I am way down on the Gulf Coast in Alabama. We do have a native plant called fireweed… and plenty of mint. It sounds like an interesting combo!
I love this Val. Thank you for sharing this. Foraging is so interesting. I’m not active with it as so many places here in Ontario 🇨🇦are private. I took a foraging workshop a few years ago with a lady named Karen Stephenson. She has a website called Edible Wild Food. She has some recipes and info that you may be interested in.
And botanical artist Wendy Hollender illustrated a lovely book called Foraging and Feasting: A Field Guide and Wild Food Cookbook.
Thanks very much. Despite its potent payload of Vitamin C, pine needle tea isn't my favorite beverage. It has a distinctive taste that falls somewhere between matcha and citrus, with undertones of freshly cut 2x4.
I love my wild foraged teas! Currently sipping a cup of Fireweed and Wild Mint :)
I don't know where in Canada you are, but if you have Fireweed there - I highly recommend giving 'Ivan Chai' a try!

Sounds really good!
