Rose hips contain many vitamins, including vitamin C.
To preserve its benefits and make the drink tasty, you need to follow some rules.
Here are three simple tips to help you avoid making disastrous brewing mistakes.
Do not crush the berries
Grinding rose hips speeds up brewing, but destroys vitamin C.
It is better to brew the berries whole in a thermos, in a steam bath or in a mug.
Water temperature
Boiling water destroys vitamin C.
Therefore, always use hot water around 80 degrees.
In this case, the rose hips will give up their beneficial properties.
Do not over-infuse the infusion.
Long steeping, especially in hot water, destroys vitamin C.
Therefore, stick to the rule: for 0.5–1 liter of drink, 20–40 minutes is enough.
In general, brew the rose hips whole with hot water and do not let it steep for too long.
