My husband already thinks I'm crazy with all my preps and no waste, but when I come home with pine tree branches tomorrow hes going to think I went over the edge. Thanks for the recipe. 🤪
Lol, thats funny. My Oldest son thinks I'm crazy, hes not a Democrat but he tells me not to tell him my tin foil hat stuff 😂😂😂 My husband is with me on the prepping, I have almost filled my pantry and im also using one of my spare room closets as a prepping pantry as well. Its just my husband and myself but im also prepping for my kids and grandchildren, one of my son's wives is prepping somewhat but the other one isn't and I cant let my kids or grandchildren do without
Actually, Rosemary is also a great medicinal herb. I drink Rosemary tea when I am not feeling well and it works amazingly well. It has both antibacterial and antiviral properties.
I have been reading that evergreen trees can be used for making tea and now I saw your video..I am amazed that I have not heard of this before...We have many conifer trees where I live so this makes me happy.
Oh yes! I prefer the white pine needles to the hemlock though both are good. It helps to cut or score the needles to allow more of the oils out, I find.
This is a goldmine of information....your video and then other comments. Just getting into being more 'nature reliant' instead of OTC reliant. I had a black co-worker who said in the fall her mom would take a quart jar, put in small handful of pine needles, some vinegar and peppermint candy. She set in in the center of the kitchen table. Anyone who felt they were starting to get sick stopped and took a slug of that stuff. Several kids and no one got really sick. I was fascinated. Thanks for posting this. Look forward to having time to watch other of your videos. Jesus bless.
I do know about pine needle tea but i did not know about the cough syrup , i bow to the QUEEN OF HOMESTEADING YOU ARE ABOVE AND BEYOND AWESOME , i send you love and hugs , thank you for the recipe , stay safe , blessings , till next time
Sugar and onion make a good Cough Syrup too also when I feel like I'm about to get strep I eat a garlic clove with a few slices of jalapeno with honey 3 times a day and it always works to get ride of it.. I usually forget to add the Honey but the honey makes it more palatable for most. You can also used Pickled version's bc it's just in a vinegar and has the same properties as fresh. Thanks for this video, I can't wait to see what you do next!
Have you ever tried making the apple cider vinegar fire tonic? It has onions and honey I forget what else but it's really good stuff- google for a recipe.
Thank you so much for making this video. My great grandmother tried to teach my mom how to make natural medicine. But, mom was to busy to learn. So the information died with great grandma. I hope you make more videos like this.
I'm sorry she didn't take the time to learn something so important. I wonder if something like this would have made my strep throat less severe or go away sooner that it did. Of course I had gone to the doctor and gotten some antibiotics, but maybe this would have made it more comfortable in the meantime.
I've made that too! I add cinnamon, clove, star Anise, nutmeg, and Ginger to it along with the honey already calls for. I found some in a maple leaf shaped syrup bottle I had forgotten about a few batches back I guess, I'm not sure how long it's been there. But it tastes just as good as when I first made it. One thing I really like about the way I make it is that I can put about an ounce of it in a glass of red wine, and it tastes just like you mulled it! Instant mulled wine with that Elderberry syrup if you add the right spices to it! 😊🍷
YAR… 🏴☠️ You said scurvy. 🏴☠️ 🤔 I would travel the seven seas to taste that cough syrup. ☺️ I am going to make some up this weekend. Thank you very much for sharing.
Watched a video where some lady in Alaska was mixing pine pitch with denatured alcohol to make a antibacterial cleaning solution. 🤷♂️ Dry pine cones make great wood stove fire starters. Just saying. 👍
My grandmother often made natural remedies, but this is new to me. She often said everything had a purpose, and this is the perfect example! Merry Christmas to you all & hoping everyone recoups fast!🎄🎁
I'm going to gather some pine needles from my back yard tomorrow after seeing you do this! Thank you so much for this great recipe! We don't live in the pine tree state for nothing! :D
Wonderful video! Thanks for this recipe and extra comments on vitamins and freezing in ice cube trays and other info. Blessings to you and yours as well as your subscribers!
I grew some horehound thus past year and right now have it infused in honey. I did make also a staghorn sumac infused honey too. Just strained it and it is delicious.
Thanks for more 'old time', useful information, Jinne. I prefer to depend on natural health benefits and this syrup is so easy to make. We have a forest full of conifers of every description that we can use for natural medicines and are thinking of tapping them for syrup, too. Thanks again for another informative video. :-D
I ordered about 9 oz of pine needles on Etsy because I wasn't sure if I could find white pine around my area, let alone White Pine that isn't treated with insecticide. I used the first ounce to make Pine soda, which I learned about on TH-cam and I couldn't believe you could do that! So I have the other 8oz and apparently I have enough to make that cough syrup if I want to. I'm going to my church's annual conference in just a couple days, and it's held in Scotts Valley just 20 minutes away from Santa Cruz. I'm going to want to bring a ziplock bag with me and see if they have white pine in that area. If so, I'll be asking if I can pick some needles! Is there any reason I couldn't filter it through the coffee filter while it's still hot so that the honey would mix more easily?
I don't have close access to any pine trees, but I wonder if rosemary would have the same benefit if I made cough syrup with needles from my rosemary bush?
I'm a herbelist and I told an older guy that lives way down the road from me go to make blackberry tea with blackberry leaves because he wanted to clean out his system well he didn't do what I said and used more leaves than he should have even though I wrote it down exsacly how much to use and how often to take it he said he thought he remembered then he tells me the next day how much he drank in one day and said he sent in a stool sample the next day after he drank a bunch of the tea I'm like what you didn't tell me you had to send in a sample when the Dr got the sample they called him immediately afterwards and thought something was wrong with him then he blames the hole thing on me and said this crazy prepper gal that lives way down the road from me is a herbelist and she told me to drink it and bla blah blah then he proceeds to tell him that I had him out granging like a cow I said I never told you to take as much as you did and way over did the leaves and I didn't tell you to drink cups of the stuff and I didn't tell you to take it the day before you sent in a sample 🤣🤣 he said I also had to go to the bathroom so many times after I drank it I never laughed so hard in my life and he did have to send in another sample and it was fine. Like how he blamed the hole thing on me the person trying to help him 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could not see you pulling off the needles. Our pines have a brown bottom to the needles where it is pulled off the stem. Were you cutting this portion off and using just the green needle or were you using the whole needle package? Can you use any pine, but ponderosa, or fir, or hemlock, non herb?
My husband already thinks I'm crazy with all my preps and no waste, but when I come home with pine tree branches tomorrow hes going to think I went over the edge. Thanks for the recipe. 🤪
LOL I'm right there with you, but mine at least tolerates it.

Thanks got it wrote down
Hahahahaha I was thinking the same but for myself 😅

I have a perpetual jar of tarragon, ginger, and anise in water I use for sickness... I'm going to add pine needles now 😊 definitely a game changer 😊

I just made some pine needle tea with my son while out with our little nature group today. Can't wait to try making this!🌲💚

!ol memories!!!we we were kids about 12 or 13 sneeking a cigarette we used pine needles to clean our breath! hadn't smoked since high school !ol
Your HAIR LOOKS GREAT!
Good.!.idea. I said to myself
“ now. Just do it. Deb.!” Thanks
I'm glad you cleared up the confusion over hemlock - I thought that it was all poison too, but didn't know that hemlock meant two different things.
Can’t wait to make this with my niece! Thank you
You are such a wonderful human
Really fantastic! I've never heard of pine needle syrup and I have many around me....thanks Jini!!
Thanks Jinne! Good recipe.
Thank you!!!!This is truly valuable information !! Praise the Lord!!✝️🌍❤️

Great idea. We have lots of pine trees. 👍🎄🇺🇸
Nice to know! Live in the PNW..so LOTS of trees of fir for needles. Thanks Jinne!♥️
Great 👍 video. Thanks for the recipe.
I do make Elderberry cough syrup, this is nice to have other options too. I made Fire Cider, another easy recipe to have for coughs and colds.
I've made that too! I add cinnamon, clove, star Anise, nutmeg, and Ginger to it along with the honey already calls for.
I found some in a maple leaf shaped syrup bottle I had forgotten about a few batches back I guess, I'm not sure how long it's been there. But it tastes just as good as when I first made it.

This was a great video! Very I formative. I would like to see you do more videos of this sort...and canning as well.
YAR… 🏴☠️ You said scurvy. 🏴☠️ 🤔 I would travel the seven seas to taste that cough syrup. ☺️ I am going to make some up this weekend. Thank you very much for sharing.
SUPER COOL! 😃🤗 Definitely going to make this!! Thank you! 👍
Love this!
I just picked up some pine needles that fell in our neighborhood. Mild 🌬 storm happening now
I made pine needle tea. So good!
Terrific video.
Watched a video where some lady in Alaska was mixing pine pitch with denatured alcohol to make a antibacterial cleaning solution. 🤷♂️
Dry pine cones make great wood stove fire starters. Just saying. 👍
Be careful with them they will build up rosin on the inside of your stovepipe or chimney.
My grandma told me about them using pine when they got sick with flu and such!! Old remedies work!
Thanks Jinne I wrote that down we have plenty of pine trees here in Florida
I am going to try it
My grandmother often made natural remedies, but this is new to me. She often said everything had a purpose, and this is the perfect example! Merry Christmas to you all & hoping everyone recoups fast!🎄🎁
Also recommended for Detoxing.
Thanks really enjoyed
Awesome! I’m going to make this for my family!
Thank you for sharing , I saw another person on my facebook mention this
Thank you for sharing this! I had NO idea I could make syrup using pine needles. I've learned so much from you.
Awesome video! Thank you Jinnie!
Wonderful video! Going to have to try this! Thank you for sharing!

Wow can’t wait to try it. Thanks
Amazing!
Gonna run out in the woods tomorrow and get some pine needles and make this! Great video, Jinne!
Wonderful video! Thanks for this recipe and extra comments on vitamins and freezing in ice cube trays and other info. Blessings to you and yours as well as your subscribers!
We have a tea steeper that goes on top of a mug. I bet that would be perfect for this. Thanks o much for sharing!! 💕
Cant wait to try this
❤
Thank you for sharing.
Very nice
Thanks for the syrup recipe. This is something really good to know. God Bless.
Would LOVE if recipes would be in printed form. Hectic trying to write down on my end.
Also, if I can this, how long?
Thanks so much! 💗
this is soooo wonderful thank u:)
Good video. Love those natural remedies.
Wow, thank you, so much.
Very interesting, and so healthy. Thanks.
🙏👏👍🌟❤️🌻✝️
Thank you so much for your recipe! I already knew about the vitamin c in the pine needles but I didn’t know about making a cough syrup with them!
Thank you, this is great to know! Please make more herbal remedy videos! I am starting a new chapter in my “JinneNotebook!”😋
Love these kind of recipes. 👍
TFS this with us.
Take care too everybody. ❤🙂🎅🎄
Zinc lozenges do wonders for sore throats, as well.
Can you use any pine needles?
Oh, ok, 'No' to Ponderosa pine.
I grew some horehound thus past year and right now have it infused in honey. I did make also a staghorn sumac infused honey too. Just strained it and it is delicious.
Jinnie can you use any pine needles?? I LOVE this idea of using natural remedies for healing the body. Thank You so much ❣️🙏 Kendra
I would pass on the ponderosa pine, but other than that any conifer should work! 💕🇺🇲
Hello there 👋
Thanks for more 'old time', useful information, Jinne. I prefer to depend on natural health benefits and this syrup is so easy to make. We have a forest full of conifers of every description that we can use for natural medicines and are thinking of tapping them for syrup, too. Thanks again for another informative video. :-D
But, I've got kidney stones so much pain any help? Thanks for sharing with us all.
I would call the Dr for that one. Hope it passes soon! 💕🇺🇲
Perhaps only anecdotally, but I knew someone who used the root of the Joe-pye-weed for kidney stones. Then also eats 1/4cup of parsley per day.
@@halfheartedhomestead1909 Thank you
Cornsilk tea has really helped me with kidney stones. I drink a quart a day when I get them for 3 days.
Corn silk tea or corn silk tincture helps.

What about pine needles from Florida Pine trees?
Yup , Bear Grylls makes pine tea on his adventures. Vitamin C.
I think I'll stick with peppermint and moonshine 😂 😂😂😂😂
My mama use to melt horehound candy in vodka and make a cough syrup and for sore throats.
@@NC_SUGAR I can try that, and no I don't drink lol
Thanks Jinnie. I am definitely trying this. My throat is irritated.
I wonder if you can make that syrup with rosemary leaves if you have it.
I would think so, rosemary has lots of great medicinal properties.
Hi Jinne- great video- I was looking at all the pine trees on my walk today- how do you tell which ones are the white pines?
My comment is a little late, but white pine trees have their needles in groups of five; spell W-H-I-T-E as you count them to remember.
I live in South Louisiana. We have pine trees but I’m not sure what kind they are.
Imagine if you threw some ecchinagsia in that tea. It is easy to grow!
🙂❤🙏🇺🇸👍
What kind of pine tree do you use?
I don't have close access to any pine trees, but I wonder if rosemary would have the same benefit if I made cough syrup with needles from my rosemary bush?
Yes, rosemary is wonderful! 💕🇺🇲
Sooo. I'm in south eastern NC, are our pint trees OK to do this with? I'm not sure what they are. Just pine trees......

I use the whole.needle, just not the tree stems/branches.
@@HomesteadCorner Thanks. Can you use any pine, fir, or hemlock, not the herb but nix the poderosa pine?
Dang it all. I am allergic to pine. ☹️
Oh no! 😪
Balsam fir, yew and a few pines are actually poisonous so please make sure you identify what your picking before you use it.
Cedar is the only "pine" near me. Not sure that is safe. Will have to research.
Cedar is great also! 💕🇺🇲
Anyone try this without the lemon and honey?
My 48oz Folgers coffee just went from $10.22 to $11.98. ...off topic, but yikes ! ( At Walmart)
You CANNOT use Yew! POISONOUS!!
