Pine Cone Syrup - Delicious and Healthy - How to Make

Pinecone syrup is so easy to make and used for so many things. Notoriously it's used as a cough medicne but also can be enjoyed on pancakes, used as a finishing glaze on meat, sweeten baked goods, mix into sparkling water and cocktails. Take in tea or hot water and also it's wonderful mixed into a Gin and Tonic or Mojito!

Here's how we make it and the correct rations are simply 1 for 1 of sugar to pine cones and then 2L water for each 1kg of pine cones.

Our Story:
In 2018 we left the UK to come to Gita’s family homestead here in north Latvia, not far from the Estonian border and now we live somewhere nowhere in the middle of a forest in a house built by Gita’s grandfather. We’re videoing our journey and trying to give you some insights into how we’re living here.
