Ingredients
100 % Rose hipsBrew & Taste
The rosehip tea has a light pinkish color and tastes pleasantly sweet and sour. The aroma is soft, subtle and slightly sweet.
Origins
Although we say rosehips are the fruit of the rosehip (Rosa canina), botanists refer to them as the fruit of the Achene. More importantly, however, they contain vitamins C and A, B vitamins as well as vitamin K and niacin. Thanks to that they are widely used in folk medicine, especially in winter. Their pleasantly sweet taste can also be used in summer drinks. A chilled rosehip tea can be a pleasant refreshment.
Rosehip plants are 1-3m tall shrubs growing almost over all of the Europe. They can usually be found at the edges of forests, in ditches or on hillsides, up to an altitude of 1200m. The branches of the roses are thorny, the shoots often climb on nearby supports. The elliptical petals are 2-4 centimetres long.
Flowers appear during May and June. They are fragrant and pleasant, usually white or pink. The rose hips themselves, red shiny egg-shaped fruits, ripen from August to September. Inside they contain seeds and rather sharp hairs. When making rosehip tea, it is a good idea to keep these in mind and strain the drink through a fine mesh. The Romans supposedly used rosehips to treat rabies. This is also why the plant is called "dog rose" – Rosa canina.
Later, they were prescribed to strengthen the body as well as to support kidney function. They are used to make syrups, jams, wine and liqueurs.
