Of Cedar tea. That will last a couple weeks.I drink about 2 cups a week for medicinal purposes.Lots of vit c good when you are on a mostly meat diet,and a great immune system booster.Also makes you sleep real good,so when I take some,i do so in the evening. Doesnt take much cedar.I pick a bunch of fresh cedar and keep it in the freezer to make a batch when needed.. Brring pot of water with cedar to a boil,simmer for 20 minutes,let cool,and strain into a container and keep in fridge. When you want some,take a cup,bring to boil,add spoon of honey,maple syrup or my favorite,brown sugar,add a little cold water and drink. The wife likes it straight up.

You must have different cedar than us. I love the smell, but couldn't imagine drinking it! Maybe I should open my eyes a little wider.

Eastern white cedar.(Thuja Occidentalis) Pick it in the bush,not from a yard tree or beside a road.

Not sure about using western red cedar-you would have to ask a medicine man from your area to see if it traditionally used. The other scientific name for the cedar we use is Arbor Vitae-(tree of life)
It is a powerful medicine,so it can harm you if you take too much.No more than a cup per day. I take two or three cups per week.

No. Eastern red cedar, Juniperus virginiana. Very different from northern white or western red.
