Collecting spruce tips and immature cones today to try my hand at making mugolio for the first time. It's just sugar and spruce tips/immature cones layered with sugar and allowed to ferment for several weeks. It creates a thick syrup with a fresh "piney" flavor. To buy it costs $25-50 per half a cup. But to make it costs mere pennies.
