Accordingly, one liter of boiling water requires one hundred grams of rose hips. And that's about four tablespoons. The best solution would be to insist the fruit in a thermos. To do this, you must first knead them. Next, you need to put them in a thermos, pour boiling water over them and close them well with a lid.

Preparation of the broth
In order for the maximum amount of nutrients to be able to "go out into the water" from the rose hips, you can first boil them. This is done within 5-7 minutes after boiling. Until the water has cooled down, it must be poured into a thermos along with the rose hips, screw the container with a lid and insist for twelve hours. When the broth is ready, strain it. Take one glass before each meal.
