Fir Needle Forest Chai

fir needles

orange peel

cinnamon chips

tbsp green cardamom pods (lightly crushed)

star anise pods (lightly crushed)

ginger

tsp black peppercorns (lightly crushed)

raw honey (to taste (optional))

Combine the fir needles, orange zest, cinnamon chips, cardamom pods, star anise pods, ginger, and peppercorns.

If using dried fir needles, store in a jar with a tight fitting lid in a cool, dark place and use within one year. If using fresh fir needles, leave the jar open and use within a few weeks.

To prepare the tea, steep one heaping tablespoon of the mixture in 8 to 10 ounces of near boiling water.

Infuse for 5 to 7 minutes or longer if desired, then strain in a serving mug. Sweeten with raw honey if desired.
