Rose hip tea
After frost, from the fencerow you already hate. Vitamin C and a tart evening cup.
20 minutes · 1 pot
- Gather hips after a freeze. Trim ends. Dry or use fresh.
- Crush 1 Tbsp per cup. Simmer 10 minutes. Pour through cloth — the inner hairs are an itch you do not want to drink.
- Honey. A mint leaf if you have it.
- Dose
- A cup or two a day in winter.
- Store
- Dried whole hips, a year, dark and dry.
Strain the hairs. Do not plant more multiflora to get more hips.
