Retreat in the Heart of Darjeeling

Who could resist taking an elixer from a bottle like this? (The staging in the picture is by me.)

This is a bottle of Russian thick pine syrup. Doesn’t that sound good for you? It is! And, it’s not sweet. Some friends in Russia gave it to me. I think it builds up your immune system. Also you sprout green needles on the top of your head.

I just take a teaspoon of it in the morning and/or evening. This is on the advice of the Russian friends who gave it to me to me from their own supply. I hope they were able to get themselves some more.

I think they told me it is from a monastery in the Altai Mountains. How cool is that?

Sorry to be so excited about something I don’t know how you can get. But isn’t it interesting to see the natural products of Russia? There are many.
