Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to make rosehip tea is to brew it in a thermos. For this, whole fruits are placed in a thermos and poured with boiling water at the rate of 1 tablespoon of fruits in a glass of boiling water. Then the rose hips are insisted in a thermos for 6-8 hours. When the tea is well infused, it needs to be filtered. Chopped berries can be used instead of whole berries. In this case, the infusion time is significantly reduced: 20-30 minutes are enough for making tea.
Step 2
Of course, in order to fully extract the beneficial properties of rose hips, it is better to prepare an infusion or decoction from it. To make such a decoction, put 2 tablespoons of chopped fruits in a glass jar and pour two glasses of boiling water. Place this jar in a pot of boiling water and keep it in a water bath for 15 minutes. Then remove the jar from the pot and refrigerate the broth at room temperature for 45-60 minutes. Squeeze through cheesecloth. It is necessary to take such a decoction, observing the dosage prescribed by the doctor.
Step 3
The infusion can be prepared in the following way. Place the jar with crushed and boiled rose hips in a water bath for 30 minutes. The proportions of water and rose hips are the same as in the preparation of the broth. Without cooling, strain the infusion through cheesecloth and add hot boiled water to it to restore the original volume of liquid.
