Euphoria
On this day, I noticed that finally spruce tips appeared. I walk past these trees every day, and it was the first day one could finally pick spruce tips. They are delicious and can be used as a spring vegetable in salads and also to make tea. They remind me of my childhood. As I was picking some, my fellow human sent me a photo of spruce tips she was eating. It was magical.
To make tea, I simply add spruce tips to some hot water and wait until they become yellow rather than bright green. Sometimes I add a bit of syrup. The taste is wonderful, green, fresh, earthy, lemony.
