And, yes, the name predates the ‘diabetes water’ sold by Coca Cola.
Ingredients
2 cup pine needles, woody ends removed
4 tablespoons sugar
2½ cups water (use bottled or filtered water)
Instructions
Put the needles and sugar in a glass jar or bottle and fill up with water.
Add the lid and gently shake the jar so the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Put the bottle on a windowsill with direct sunlight (or indirect sunlight during summer). From here on, do NOT shake the bottle at any time, or it may explode.
Wait THREE days. Then, open the bottle. Again, do NOT shake it. Strain out the pine needles.
Pour liquid over a cup of ice! Squeeze in some lemon slices, perhaps some mint leaves, and enjoy!
