PINING FOR CHRISTMAS TREE TEA?

PINING FOR CHRISTMAS TREE TEA?



RESOLVEN, U.K. (Wireless Flash) – Pining for an alternative to egg nog this holiday? Well, a Welsh forestry worker is brewing up tea made from Christmas trees branches. Barbara Spence says the tastiest tea comes from the Norway spruce and gives off a strong pine smell. That’s not all. Spence says her “tree tea” works well for getting rid of toxins because “it makes you pee a lot.” Plus, the price won’t be too steep, since all you need to make the drink is to throw five handfuls of healthy tree needles into a pot of hot water. However, if this tannenbaum treat isn’t your cup of tea, Spence also says pine needles can also be used to brew Christmas tree beer.
