Note
from Cheri: IMPORTANT! THIS DRINK IS NOT FOR HUMAN OR ANIMAL
CONSUMPTION! DO NOT USE IF YOUR CHILDREN OR PETS CAN
GET AT THE CHRISTMAS TREE WATER
That said, use this "drink" to keep Christmas trees
fresher, longer. The recipe makes one gallon, store
the excess to replenish your tree's water as needed.
Cut approximately 1 inch off the bottom of your live Christmas tree. Hammer
the end of the trunk to split or smash it. In a 1 gallon container, mix
corn syrup and bleach and fill with hot water. Cool and give to tree in
place of plain water to keep your tree fresher and to avoid needles falling
off.
