Total 25:00
Yield 4

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (120 ml) edible pine needles (preferably Douglas fir)
  • Peel from 3 clementine oranges (or a similar easy-to-peel variety such as tangerines)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 cloves
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) cardamom pods

Instructions

  1. 1
    Wash the pine needle branch and clementines.
  2. 2
    Remove the pine needles from the branches and peel the clementines.
  3. 3
    Mix the pine needles and clementine peels with the sugar in a container, and let this sit in the fridge for 24 hours. The sugar will extract the liquid from the citrus peels and produce a syrupy liquid.
  4. 4
    Boil the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and cardamom pods in the water.
  5. 5
    Pour the warm water with boiled spices into the container with pine needles and peels.
  6. 6
    Mix the ingredients together and strain the mixture.
  7. 7
    To make the finished soda, mix 1 volume of syrup with 5 volumes of carbonated water.
