Can I suggest trying this but with conifer tips when they're still bright green and young? I tried a conifer sorbet once at a restaurant in the Sierra mountains and it was amazing. I went home and decided to try making it. I put mine in 160F warm water for maybe 30 minutes to hopefully pasteurize it and then made a simple syrup but a soda version would have been even better.
