Drying Rose Hips

I thought I would share how I dried my rose hips.

First, sort them and pick out ones that are not nice and red or are withered. then pick them off of their stems and lay them out on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. Dry in your oven at 150-170 degrees until they are hard and brittle. Then I ran mine through my blender until they were just coursely ground. Then I poured them into an empty jelly jar and put a lid on.
Add one tablespoonful for for each cup of tea. The longer you steep your tea, the stronger in will be. Strain or use in a tea ball. Sweeten if desired.

My first cup, I mixed the rose hips with a cup of another kind of tea. It was great! And so much vitamin C.
