It looked to me like Connie just picked the needles up off the ground.

Dried out needles off the ground do not have much, if any, vitamin C. They also taste terrible. You need to use fresh needles right off the tree. They have lots of vitamin C, and may not taste great, but are a lot better than the dried ones.

Guacola doesn't sound like a bad idea in theory. Maye they just had a bad receipe.
