Table of volume measurements:
- teaspoon - 5 ml
- dessert spoon - 10 ml
- tablespoon - 20 ml
- glass - 200 ml
Preparation
Step 1
Rinse the rose hips and pat them dry with paper towels. The vessel you use for brewing can be any material except aluminum. I usually use a glass teapot with an infuser.
Step 2
Lightly crush the rose hips in a mortar. You can skip this step and brew whole berries, but in that case you should increase the steeping time a little.
Step 3
Rinse the teapot with boiling water so the bottom and sides are not cold. Put the rose hips into the teapot. I also had a few fresh berries on hand and used them too.
Step 4
Pour the berries over with freshly boiled water. It is best to use bottled or filtered water for brewing. Tap water is also suitable if you normally drink it.
Step 5
Close the teapot with a lid and wrap it in a warm small blanket or towel. Leave to infuse for at least 1 hour.
Step 6
The healing drink is ready!
Step 7
You can drink it warm or cooled.
