Ice Cream Milkshake Recipes
Serving 4 ppl.
Pine Needles Ice Cream Milk Shake
3 scoops of ice cream
5 oz cold orange juice
2 oz raspberry syrup
20 -30 pine or fir needles ** – make sure they are the edible type
Grind in a mortar 20-30 pine needles, along with the raspberry syrup. Then remove the needles and pour the syrup on the bottom of the highball cups in a thin stream over the blade of a knife or over the back of a spoon.
Using the same way, carefully pour in glasses a cold orange juice to not mix the two layers. Put ice cream on top and decorate with small pine twigs. Serve with a straw.
Note: As far as I’m aware, don’t use needles from the following varieties – Lodgepole Pine, Monterey Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Norfolk Pine (Australian Pine), Loblolly Pine, Common Juniper. Double-check before using any pine or fir needles if they are edible. Probably the best way here is to use Pine tea mixed with raspberry syrup.
