Drank a most excellent cup of Cedar Needle Tea this morning, made fresh from cuttings..... now, to see if it has any noticeable therapeutic effects.....
Drove up in the mountains this morning on a hunt for some sweet cedar needles. Found a cute little tree just off the shoulder of the road, around 7,000 feet elevation, and proceeded to crop myself a half full large trash bag of cedar needles. They're supposed to be the best tasting ones.... Only burned a couple of gallons of gas doing it. Four pounds, or so at 60.00/lb on the "net"equals 240.00 net value. I'm now cutting some of the needles into 1/2 inch pieces for brewing......yuum....will let you know how good or bad it is... I've got my honey on standby, just in case.....

Online prices are around $60.00/lb., so foraging is the only option for me.... I'm going "foraging" in the morning....
