Cut pine cones into slices about 1 cm thick.

Pour vodka over them in a container. Cover and let stand in a bright place for 4 to 6 weeks maximum. Then strain through a filter paper or cloth.

Boil 100 ml of water with honey, let it cool down and mix it with the pine vodka.

Fill into a bottle and seal.

Preparation Tip:

The stone pine is the miracle tree of the Alps. It grows in the mountains and also especially on the alpine pastures in the Salzburg area. The robust coniferous trees grow up to 1,000 years old, their fragrant wood, flowers and cones have healing and soothing effects. The red pine cones are harvested at the end of June to mid-July, while they are still fully in sap, and are only offered for a short time at the farmers' markets in the region.
