Pine Bud Elixir - pine buds pop out in the early Spring as a delicacy full of extra special pine goodness! Not only are the pine buds a delicious little culinary delight, they also contain potent special properties. Loaded with Vitamin C, pine buds help boost our immunity and help with respiratory support. The secret ingredient specific to the pine buds is an essential oil called pinene that promotes relaxation and pain relief. It is also reported to help with cognitive function and may reduce spread of viral infections.
 
This elixir has even more love included from the trees as we've infused it in our very own maple syrup!
 
As with all herbs, research and seek guidance before use.
 
Elixirs are sweet, herbaceous deliciousness.  Maple syrup and alcohol (vodka, brandy or grain alcohol) are infused with the plant material for about one moon cycle (4 weeks).  The plant matter is then strained off and you are left with a sweet little blend full of plant magic. Because of the maple syrup, elixirs are easier on the taste buds than a straight up tincture, and delicious in mocktails, cocktails and warm beverages.  In most cases, these elixirs were made with maple syrup that was made here - by me! - on a day filled with sunshine, friends and the promise of Spring.
 
HOW DO I USE IT?
Add to your favorite drink or just drop it straight into your mouth.  Take a few drops a few times a day or a dropperful-ish whenever you feel the need for the plant support.
