Seedless Rosehips (Rosa canina), are also called rose haw or rose hep. Rosehips are berry-like fruits with a tangy taste. They are not like roses at all; they are almost the same as hibiscus flowers when it comes to aroma and scent. They offer a distinct flavor combination of fruits and spices.
Rosehips are utilized in different ways and have been used in cooking for thousands of years. Rosehips can be used to make a delicious wellness herbal tea. They also act as a flavoring or condiment, as they are commonly mixed into tea, jellies, jams, syrups, marmalade, pies, bread, and even wines. They also serve as great decor for a range of DIY crafts and projects. Every rosehip is hand-picked and dried naturally.
To prepare as a tea, pour 8 oz. boiling water over 1 tsp. of herb. Cover and steep 10 minutes, strain and serve immediately.
