In a blender, grind the spruce needles until bright green and powdery. Add the sugar, and grind until the sugar is powdery and the spruce powder is integrated with 1/2 cup sugar. You may need to stir with the end of a wooden spoon between grinding to keep the spruce powder from clumping in the corners. Then transfer to your jar 1. Teacher to label with sharpy.

Equipment - Blender, 1/2 cup & wooden spoon

Jar 2: 2 Tbsp spruce needles - for icing

and spruce powder together by hand in a bowl. Then transfer to your jar 2. Teacher to label with sharpy.
