We have a white spruce practically in our garden. I use that because it's convenient. It makes nice tea 😁

Lonnie, you are absolutely one of the coolest, salt of the earth kind of guys I've ever had the fortune of being able to learn from. You're aware of your environment, and you care about it. You also care about your fellow human being because you're willing to share your knowledge and teach. Thank you for all the things you share with us. Peace, and be well.

I have a beautiful blue spruce in my backyard and the new buds are ready for picking. I made myself a blue spruce bud tea this afternoon, and I would say it has a nice soft citrus taste. Looking to freeze some for winter months.

I love spruce tip tea, and I also make healing cream with it.

Just picked some Norwegian Spruce here up in Scandinavia, it's in the kettle and the aroma is great! Can't wait to try it!

Nice Silky you got there :)Yes Spruce the is certainly good. In spring i sometimes just eat the green new buds raw. Taste good too. I think i will try this method.

Makes me want to move my family to the bush! That was super satisfying to watch.

We call white spruce 'engelmann spruce' in British Columbia in case anyone from the area was wondering, still my favourite channel Lonnie and Connie!

I've probably passed thousands of spruce in my young life (Exploring the Black Hills regularly), never realizing that if I just took a few minutes to gather some tips that I would be rewarded with a refreshing cup of tea upon my return to camp. And I imagine on the trail the next day that a cool sip of spruce tea would perk me right up! I'll be implementing Operation Spruce Tips as my SOP when enjoying a day in the woods (Eastern Virginia) from now on, thank ya, Lonnie. - God Speed

Thanks for the info Lonnie. Here in Georgia, we only have the white spruce and not many of those. We do have white pine and it makes a good tea. Keep up the good work Sir!

I am drinking a spruce tea as I'm writing this, thanks to you. I really like watching you light up a fire and I find myself enjoying the process of watching it grow, as if it was me doing it. I dedicate this sip of delicious tea to you, Lonnie, and a little hello to your wife Connie. Thank you for sharing part of your time with us the way you do. Wish you best

I've watched four of your videos tonight and it is hitting on all cylinders. Been into the tree ID here lately and your tips on the spruce tree was awesome. We don't have alot of those here but still like the way you identified those trees.

[tomas]

Great video, thank you. Enjoy the videos where you identify the various plants and trees.

[paulwastaken]

Another informative and enjoyable video. I really like pine needle tea but have not had spruce, I'll try it soon. Thanks Lonnie.

Hello Lonnie, I am a Florida native and I am so glad you taught us how to make spruce tip tea. I will have to see what type of spruce will grow in Florida and plant some I would love to try the spruce tip tea.

[jayojoe]

Wonderful tea! I love it with sourclover or heather, very very nutritios.

[Arduinerd]

Well, the day after you posted this, I went out and gathered both varieties of spruce tips and tried both. I am with you in liking black spruce better. I've never had either until today, and I definitely like it! Thanks again.
