Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse pine needles 2–3 times under running water and cut into 5 cm lengths.

  2. 2

    Halve the jujubes and remove seeds, then thinly slice the ginger.

  3. 3

    Combine water, pine needles, jujubes, and ginger in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Lower to low heat and steep for 15 more minutes once boiling starts.

  5. 5

    Turn off heat, strain for clarity, then stir in honey and lemon juice.

  6. 6

    Serve warm immediately, or chill in the fridge and serve cold.

Tips

Avoid overboiling pine needles; keep total simmering around 20 minutes to prevent bitterness.
Add honey after turning off heat to preserve aroma.
