How to brew dry rose hips?
1. Rinse dry rose hips to remove all dust and dirt. Then dry well with a paper towel and transfer to a shredder.
2. Kill the berries. The dried shell will turn to dust, and the inner bones will remain intact. Although if you have a powerful device, it will grind them too.
3. Pour the ground mass into a thermos. Some claim that the thermos should be with a glass flask, because it keeps warm better. But if this is not the case, then an ordinary iron will do.
4. Boil water and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Then fill the rosehip with it. Close the thermos and leave to infuse for 1-2 hours. You can wrap it up with a towel.
I draw your attention to the fact that the rosehip cannot be poured with hot water, otherwise it will lose some of the nutrients from the high temperature.
5. After this time, strain the broth through a fine strainer or cheesecloth. You can drink the drink, and re-brew the cake. Soak it for 2-3 hours the second time. After it, you can brew it for the third time, but then insist for 5-7 hours.
6. Drink warm. Add honey or a lemon wedge for more flavor, taste, and health.
