- Making this homemade pine needle soda was very fun to do and something I will continue doing. Pine needles are known to be full of vitamin c although I do not know how much would be available in this form vs drinking in a tea.
What You Need:
1 Quart Size Mason Jar
2 Cups Pine Needles
2 1/2 Cups Cold Water
2-4 Tablespoons Sugar
Steps:
1. Gather 2 cups of pine needles
2. Put pine needles in to quart size jar
3. Rinse pine needles in cold water
4. Put sugar in to jar
5. Put water into jar
6. Let sit for 2-3 days before checking.
7. If desired amount of carbonation pour over ice

Are there any health benefits?
Pine needles are known to have high amounts of Vitamin C. I just don’t know how much this process makes the Vitamin C available to us vs tea. Thanks for the question!
It also has a bunch of pinene which helps with bronchial dilation and help you breathe a little easier
Great to know, thank you!
Of course, honey has antibacterial properties so you get two together. If you are sick it helps recovering quicker. Don't put honey in hot teas because heat destroys goodness
I do remember someone who was reviewing fragrance candles for a specific company, and that person was telling about how the pine candle helped when he was sick because it was high quality. So that makes sense. Besides, it smells like absolute heaven!
Pine tard IS full of natural antibiotics, so it's évident that all pines will have those properties. You Can also ferment pine needles in honey, combine them with garlic,ginger,Rosemary etc,and in oil for soap making. Good for irritated skin. Take Care.🌞
Amazing!! Thank you for the information!
I can't wait to try this thanks🎉 im going yo use honey instead of sugar.
I would like to try that sounds good! I have a friend who always talked about the health benefits of pine needle tea
You can definitely add lemon and lime juice.
I can't wait to try this! A couple of branches of a white pine tree broke off after a rain storm in my neighborhood a couple of days ago, so I scored a small branch full of needles! I started 3 jars of pine needle cleaner and still have a ton of needles left.
That's awesome! I would love to try doing cleaner. I had no idea that was even a thing!
@@connerphillips the soda was delicious! Yes, homemade cleaner! Try it!
Going to try this for sure! Thanks for the great idea!!!
You can do this with rosemary as well
That is so interesting!
we have red pine or spruce in my area I reckon that would work too, awesome video by they way
I don't see why not, I'm thinking bull pine would be one of the most intense and it was still enjoyable. Thank you!
I appreciate the heads-up on the bull pine, I had already read that white was the nicest tasting and I want to start with something I'm more likely to enjoy. Whatever has that gentler taste.
Look up whether or not it's toxic before you try anything. ❤
@@lauragraves4342 I think they must be safe because the goats love to eat them
@goatfarmmb That's not how that works, lol. Certain animals can eat things we can't, and vice versa. That's like saying dogs can eat chocolate just because we can. They can't. Much love. I will agree it could very well be harmless to humans though. ❤️
Why is my pine soda not bubbly? I used a mason jar w a lid and filled it to the top and closed tight. I put it in indirect sunlight. Should i put it in direct sunlight next time? I used four tblspns of sugar. 2 cups of white pine and two cups of water. Mine was like flat soda! :(
Maybe how you rinsed them? He said cold water only.
The other comment is right if you rinsed the needles with hot water or to well then you would have taken away the yeasts that make it bubble. Did you try waiting longer? If it needs 5 or 6 days I wouldn't open it on day 3 or a lot of the bubbles will be released. So your house may be cooler and you just need to wait longer.
I had never heard of making soda with pine until only recently, when I was looking at videos on how to make kefir water and ginger ale. I think Pine soda would be absolutely wonderful to make and share with friends during Christmas time! There's a pine tree outside, but I don't know if it's white pine or something else. I never bothered to check because I never had a reason to. Also, I don't know if pesticides would be on the pine needles, even higher up. But I'm kind of wondering if they would be safe for me to use so that I could just step outside and pick some.
Those would both be fun to make I know kefir can be difficult and so making Pine Needle Soda may be a good start to it! I would definitely suggest finding a white pine if your going to do it. If your concerned that the tree may have been sprayed I wouldn't risk it! But if it has the 5 needle clusters and the almost birch like bark it should be white pine!
To stay on the safe side, I just ordered some white pine from Etsy that's meant for making tea or whatever and it's supposed to show up around the 4th of July! I already have a jar I can use it for, 1 with sauce that I kept and cleaned and these fermentation Lids fit it nicely, and I can't wait! And this is just a test run for Christmas time! Christmas in July, y'all! 😊🎄
I actually bought kefir grains before I went out of town for 3 weeks and just didn't start them up until I got back, and they're in their second fermentation phase with some cranberries but it's not bubbling and I'm hoping that because today is only the second day of second fermentation phase that there's still hope.
@@connerphillips Milk kefir is like the easiest fermented drink to make, so simple. A 3 year old could do it. Water kefir is a bit more involved as the grains are a little more high maintenance. Great video by the way.
Why would pesticides be on some pine tree?
I read that they are great against spike proteins
Hahaha
Those jars can explode!
They can but the reaction is not very strong so the pressure built up is not that crazy. By checking on it every couple days by releasing it will give you a good idea when to stop letting it ferment.
It dont snow here my pine might be different 😅
Will spruce work for this?
Is ponderosa/yellow pine good for this recipe too?
I'm seeing mixed results on this, many places say that all pine needles are edible. Others are saying that ponderosa pine specifically has findings that say it is abortifacient and toxic. There findings were based off of cattle that were being raised. So I personally wouldn't take the chance, especially if your pregnant with the ponderosa pine.
@@connerphillips thanks mate, i appreciate that
Can I use pitch pine needles?
I looked up pitch pine and saw nothing saying you can't. If you know them to be edible I think it would be worth a try.
So your telling me I ruined mine by using hot water to clean and put them in
