Pine Cone Syrup (Cold-Processed) – Syrup from Young Green Pine Cones
Pine Cone Syrup is made from young, green pine cones and is characterized by its distinctive, intensely woody aroma. The cones are processed at an early stage of ripeness and transformed into a concentrated syrup following a traditional recipe.
