I have loved recently working with Pine. We have so many varieties around us so it was a great way of studying the different species that grow in the area.
One of the most lovely things I made was a facial toner from fresh pine needles.
I found some paper bags over the internet for sale and they were perfect for filling with the pine.
I then poured boiling water on top and allowed to cool.
I then strained the liquid into an old glass bottle and decorated with miniature pine cones.
It's wonderful to use, really cooling and cleansing.
