Pine Needle Soda
  1. If the pine needles are dirty, gently rinse them in cool water.

  2. Put the pine needles into a 16 ounce flip top bottle.

  3. Add the honey and filtered water to the bottle using a small funnel if necessary. Leave 1-2 inches of headspace at the top.

  4. Close the lid and shake the bottle a bit to distribute the honey.

  5. Put the bottle in a warm (not too hot or too cold) place to ferment - a kitchen counter usually works great.

  6. The soda should start fermenting and producing carbonation after 2-3 days. Be careful opening the bottle as it could have a lot of bubbles! Don’t let the bottles sit longer than 3 days without opening so that the pressure doesn’t build up too much.

  7. Strain the soda with a fine mesh sieve and serve over ice with a lemon, lime or orange slice for garnish.
