Materials
- - containers, preferably glass (jars, bottles)
- - sieve for separating the syrup
Preparation
Wash the pine buds well and clean them of any impurities, then dry them on a towel. They must be dried well, otherwise the remaining water could lead to fermentation of the syrup.
In a jar, place the pine buds in layers, over which bee honey is poured. Continue until the jar is full.
Close the jar and leave to macerate for 2 to 4 weeks, in a dark and cool place.
After a few days, it is good to shake the jar to homogenize the extract. You will notice, day by day, how the honey changes its consistency and becomes thinner / fluid.
After maceration, strain the pine syrup and store in glass containers (jars, bottles, recommended not very large).
The syrup obtained is kept tightly closed in a dark and cool place (cool pantry or refrigerator).
If it does not open, the syrup can last up to 1 year.- Once a bottle of syrup is opened, it must be kept cold (in the refrigerator). It is recommended to consume, after opening, in a maximum of 30 days.
