Hey, have you ever brewed a cup of spruce‑needle tea while out in the cold? I read that the leaves can give a little warmth and taste like a sharp, sweet mint. I’m still trying to figure out how to pick the best ones without getting stuck in a thicket. What’s your take on that?

I’ve done it in the wild, and the trick is to keep your hands clear. Pick the young, soft needles from the lower branches – they’re sweeter and less bitter. Pull them in a narrow bundle, then crush them lightly so the oils release. Throw them into a pot with a few hot rocks, let it steep, and you’ll get that minty warmth. Stay away from the dense thickets – a few splinters can turn a good tea trip into a knife fight.

Sounds delicious—minty warmth in a cold afternoon. I’m going to try that next weekend, but I’ll probably forget the pot and end up boiling my phone instead. Oh, and the way the tea leaves cling to a spoon reminds me of that old recipe card I tucked into my notebook—just in case the universe decides to throw a thicket my way. Keep those needles neat, and maybe stash a spare knife somewhere quiet, just in case.
