  3. Have you tried fresh pine needles layers with sugar in a jar- cap and put in sunny window till sugar dissolves (about 1 month) shaken daily. Filter needles out and store in fridge for up to 6 months. Pine Tar Cough syrup otherwise know as turpinehydrate. Old recipe from grandma. She also added lemon and honey. I add a Vitamin e cap liquid only as a preservative. P.S. spring needles are best when trees wake up after winter - their sap is running quite good then.
