Great hemlock tea comes from the hemlock conifer.

Boy Scouts should market this stuff. Also, really liking wintergreen...

I agree, just call it something else for people like me who don't know the difference!

call it philosopher's brew or something and see if people pick up on it

How about Socrateas?!

Otherwise, this Differential Digestibility in Microhistological Analyses should clear up misunderstandings.

Could call instead of hemlock, Tsuga Spruce. But then have issue of, is the T not silent like in Tsunami, pronounced Tsoo-nah-mee.

stick with socrateas and put tsuga in the ingredients. nobody knows how to same most ingredients these days what with all the chemicals

Hehe! Just imagining having Socrateas Tsuga Parties with every body wearing togas.

tsu-ga! tsu-ga!

Being dyslexic does have it's drawbacks. I once went to a toga party dressed as a goat.

you'd make a great goat. you're quite the kidder

So, I went to the party dressed as a goat. Bunch of Canadian's thought I looked like someone they used to know.

funny, I always think "game of the year" when I see their name. what a hip reference!

next party you should dress up as justin beaver

Yes, you scared me with your Hemlock drinking.

Turns out, Black Spruce tea is equally great! Our resident celestial expert mistook that for hemlock tsuga and brewed a wonderful tea.

a wonderful treatise on tree teas

Each has small cones on the end of the branch, but Black spruce short needles go 360 around the branch stem.

Our Boy Scout friend Keith, expert on all things nature, always quotes Cochise; Perhaps the treatise of tree teas is from treaties.

would that be the treatise of tree teas from the treaties of tea trees?

Although you might be careful ->

Furthermore, it has been used medicinally by humans, for its sedative and antispasmodic properties, although such use is limited

*because of the slight difference between a therapeutic and a toxic amount.*

Maybe I should say that you should be careful instead of might.

Slight difference between theraputic & toxic amount? That one brew was reduced down to the point of rat poison Mr. Whoops! But i drank it &

Survived. At least i think that i did...

Well if we just let you smell the delicious aroma without letting you drink it, that would be a tree tease.

(tree tea tease)

Treaty tease? Who are you, Napol-tea-n?

nope, william tea sherman. my scorched leaf policy ensures the most flavorful brew

All i can say is that Jeff & Keith were definitely pining for more hemlock after last week.

If you MAS*H the needles, then use Sherman T. Potter. Let it cool down or you'll get Hotlips! And, you know, you don't want Major Burns.
