Foraged Winter Tea

This is one of my favorite wintertime tea’s. It tastes earthy and like the forest and has both medicinal and magickal benefits. Magickally pine is healing and protective and when paired with cinnamon which also caries those two properties the powers are enhanced. (I also include honey in this recipe - which is a healing ingredient as well) Pine is a stimulating expectorant that carries antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. All this makes it quite useful in caring for fevers, coughs, and colds and when combined with cinnamon which houses warming properties this is aided even more. This tea works great as a preventative as well or simply something to enjoy! Now of course, with forgeable teas, there are precautions that must be taken - check the edibility and vulnerability of the species of plant you are hoping to use and make sure it’s safe to harvest and ingest - make sure there are no pesticides or pollutants present on or around what you harvest. Ingredients: 4 cups of water small handful of pine needles 1 cinnamon stick (houses warming properties and aid in the healing of coughs and colds) desired amount of honey Preparations: (there are two styles of preparation, each yields a different result) Preparation One: use when wishing to make a preventative/simply enjoyable/magickal tea -chop and bruise pine needles - add in a crushed cinnamon stick -steep in boiling hot water for 5 minutes -strain, add a bit of honey, and enjoy! Preparation Two: use to treat fevers, coughs, and colds -chop and bruise pine needles -bring 4 cups of water to a boil on the stove -once water is up to temperature add in the needles along with the cinnamon stick (crushed) if you’ve chosen to add it in -allow to boil for 20 minutes -once time is up, turn off the heat and allow to continue steeping for an additional 20 minutes -once the time has passed, strain the tea, add honey, and enjoy! ► MY SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER LINKS • My Other Channel: • Instagram: • Patreon: • Equipment: ► MUSIC all music from ►FAQ •My name is Annabel Margaret though most people just call me Annie •I am currently living in Washington •I am fully self employed as an artist and videographer
