Rose Hip Tea Recipe

A recipe for rose hip tea. This is very simple and can be enjoyed through the winter months. After you have picked your rose hips, always picking the nice red ones. Lay the rose hips out on a tray after cutting them in half, and wait three weeks while leaving the rose hips in a dark place, or if you are unable to wait, put them on a metal tray and when you have used the oven, make sure the heat is 140 degrees pop the tray in and leave the oven door open and turn the oven off. Once the oven is cool, if you have a food processor use that or like me I like to use my mortar and pestal, then place the rose hips in a metal sieve and shake the rose hips over some news paper. Next natures magic will happen, all the little hairs that would irritate some peoples stomachs fall away. Now place the crushed rose hips minus those hairs into a dry jar ensuring it is air tight. We are now at the best part, make some rose hip tea. this is done just as if making tea in a tea pot. Though do not add milk my little secret is to add a little honey the amount is purely down to your taste. Always make sure you use a nice farm house style mug, and if you can make a pot for two and  cosy up with the one you love. mmmmm
