Pine Needle Tea

I remember reading this a long time ago, but never actually tried it until today.
Take a cup of boiling water. Throw in a tablespoon of chopped green pine needles (cut off any brown stuff). When the needles sink it's ready to drink.
If you're a sweet tea kinda guy add sugar, though in the woods I don't know you'll.have sugar.
Guys... I was expecting this to taste like straight up turpentine...
It's actually really good. It has a unique flavor that's very hard to describe, but if I had to, I'd say minty apple.
If for some reason you're stuck in the woods.. This stuff has five times the vitamin C as fresh Orange juice and lots of vitamin A too.
