Rosehip Tea

I gather and use rosehips all the time.  However, the best time I have found to gather 
them is after a frost (if you live up north that is).

I dry them (they should be hard when gathered and turned to either a brown or red color.

You can then make a tea with them that is one of the best sources of vitamin C.  We try 
to drink at least one cup a day during the winter months and have not had a cold for 
years.  You just crush up about 1 teaspoon full (I use wild rose hips, from the 
multiflora rose, so it would be hard to say by the number count of rose hips)  Put them 
in a pot on the stove and boil gently for about 5 minutes.  It can also be stored for a 
day or so in the refrigerator if you like making more at a time.

God bless and be well,
