Coniferous healing cocktail

Ingredients

Needles (spruce, pine, larch, fir, cedar) 30 g
Lemon (orange, grapefruit, lime) 1/2 pcs.
Honey 1 tbsp. l.
Pine nuts (optional in a cocktail or as a side dish)
Purified water, well or mineral water 2 tbsp.

Cooking method

  • Let's remember childhood!
  • I don’t know how you spent your holidays, but all summer in early childhood I “lit up” at a dacha near Minsk.
  • There used to be the estate of Princess Ostroshitskaya. Then the territory was occupied by state dachas for families of military personnel.
  • The central place was occupied by a beautiful mansion, and simple wooden houses with modest interior decoration were scattered throughout the protected area and were located right in a wonderful and solid pine forest. There were many lakes and a river on the territory. Huge carps were caught there, and even eels were found. And carp, roach and minnows were countless! Everyone, young and old, was engaged in fishing, and half a bucket of carp caught and fried for breakfast by my already elderly grandmother was not considered something surprising.
  • Squirrels, roe deer, hares, wild cats, many birds and various butterflies ran, flew, crawled across the territory. Mushrooms grew at every step, and motley chicks were found in every hollow. And we, children, lived in this world, childishly appropriating and feeling its beauty, absorbing and breathing what nature gave us so disinterestedly. I sincerely believed that the soldiers, who were on duty around the clock, were guarding this particular beauty with their machine guns clashing around the clock.
  • Jumping past young pines or climbing under the lower branches of a spreading Christmas tree in search of cheerful fragrant saffron milk caps, we did not hesitate to cut off tender coniferous shoots and chew them with pleasure. And chewing the tar was a holy thing! All the pockets of my sundresses were stained with this resin.
  • We didn’t even pick small porcini mushrooms, but wrote notes like: "This mushroom has been found, please do not pick!" And sprinkled them with needles. And then in the officers' mess, where it was always possible to eat delicious dumplings for little money, they overheard the indignant conversations of adults, whose hand did not rise to pick a "foreign" mushroom.
  • A heavenly place 25 km from the city, I am not exaggerating, and a wonderful time, remembering which, everything shrinks in the soul from understanding its irrevocability.
  • These are the memories that a drink prepared from pine needles awakened to me a few days ago, refreshing the taste of childhood, filling, without exaggeration, energy and giving an incredibly pleasant and useful combination!
  • I have been making this cocktail for several days, invigorates, replenishes vitamin deficiencies and pleases with taste. I like it with lemon, grapefruit and orange.
  • Preparation
  • - Wash coniferous branches well. Use scissors to cut the needles into the blender bowl. If you come across small parts of twigs, then it's not scary. It is fashionable to cut into small pieces with a knife.
  • - Add the pitted lemon (orange) diced. Add 1 tbsp. l. honey and 2 glasses of clean cold water.
  • - Rotate the weight first in the "pulse" mode, and then at maximum speed for 1 minute. A bright green color should appear.
  • - Next, you need to check the taste of the drink and add honey, lemon or water to taste and scroll again
  • - Strain the mixture through the finest sieve or cheesecloth. Squeeze out the cake well.
  • Coniferous healing cocktail
  • - Pour the cocktail into a glass and immediately enjoy a truly healing drink.
  • I do not recommend adding ice to this cocktail. Enough cold water - let all the healthy ingredients be absorbed better.
  • An unexpectedly tasty and very invigorating drink! The body is just awakening from it and is charged with energy! Check it out, you won't regret it!

Note

You can use spruce, pine, larch, fir, cedar.
For starters, don't do a lot of concentration. Find the optimal concentration for yourself that suits your taste. Pine nuts can be added to the strained mixture and beat again.
You can accumulate cake, keeping it in the refrigerator, put it in a gauze bag, tie it in a knot and use it for taking a pine bath.
Good health and wonderful mood to all!
Why are needles useful?
The useful bactericidal properties of needles were known to our ancestors.
The needles pleases us with anti-inflammatory, anthelmintic, antimicrobial, analgesic, diaphoretic, choleretic and diuretic properties.
The needles regulate metabolism well and improve blood formation.
Vitamin C in needles is 1.5-2 times more than in many citrus fruits. The concentration of B vitamins is also very high.
Vitamin E is present in pine needles in the form of alpha-tocopherol, which has the highest biological activity in comparison with other tocopherols. Moreover, the greatest amount of vitamin E is found in the summer. But in the winter months, the needles contain more vitamin K.
For serious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, drinks from the needles should be taken with caution or in small doses.
