From various herbs and berries. One of the most popular and favorite is rosehip tea. And this is by no means a new word in wellness nutrition.
The benefits of rosehip tea have been known since time immemorial.
Before the advent of the fashion for black tea and coffee in our country, people everywhere quenched their thirst with other drinks. In summer and autumn, in dry weather, people collected useful plants. The traditional infusions of herbs and berries that they drank every day included rosehip tea, the beneficial properties of which have been known since ancient times. For brewing, not only fruits were dried, but also flowers, leaves and even roots. Roots and leaves were used for medicinal purposes, and fragrant flowers and berries were brewed with boiling water and infused in a warm place - such a drink turned out to be especially fragrant. Leaves of raspberries, currants, mint and other fragrant herbs were added to the wild rose. They made drinks from mixtures of rose hips with blueberries, sea buckthorn, chokeberries, blackberries and others.
Who can drink a decoction of wild rose fruits?
Traditional and folk medicine and in our time without fail recommends that everyone drink rosehip tea. Its benefits and harms depend only on the dosage. In the spring, when we suffer from beriberi, twice a day, a decoction of wild rose, or, as it is also called, wild rose, will only be appropriate. Rosehip tea is harmful only in case of immoderate consumption of the drink. In reasonable amounts, it improves overall well-being, normalizes blood pressure and improves metabolism.
What does a wild rose look like and where does it grow?
Rosehip is a low, up to two meters, thorny shrub. In our country, it can be found almost everywhere, with the exception of the Arctic territories. It is also widely distributed in America and Australia. The wild rose served as the basis for selective breeding of shrubs and breeding of ornamental varieties that are used to decorate parks, gardens, and to create bouquets. The fruits of wild and cultivated roses are very similar.
These are oval berries of red-brown color, up to two centimeters in the longest part. Inside, the fruit is covered with numerous bristles, which, when ingested, cause discomfort. Seeds are white, up to two millimeters in size. For medicinal purposes, only wild varieties are used. Rosehip cannot be confused with any other plant. The fragrance of its flowers is very recognizable. No wonder the essential oils obtained from the petals of its flowers are used in perfumery to create perfumes and to flavor creams and lotions.
Harvesting fruits
Rosehip varieties, it is also called not only a wild rose, but also a cinnamon rose, there are a lot, but not all of them are considered medicinal. For health and medicinal purposes, the fruits are not round, flattened towards the center, but oval and elongated in length. In medicinal species, the sepals are extended forward, like a peak, and in those that do not have vitamin value, they are twisted back towards the berry, and almost lie on it.
The shrub blooms from mid-May to July, and the ripened fruits are harvested in late summer and early autumn. After frost, they lose their healing qualities. And the beneficial properties of rosehip tea are largely due to the high content of vitamin C in the berries, which is quickly destroyed at low temperatures.
Compotes, jams, marshmallows are cooked from fresh rose hips. Fruit processing is a laborious task, as the berries must be cleaned of internal bristles and hard seeds. From one kilogram of freshly picked berries, less than half a kilogram of raw materials suitable for canning is obtained.
Internal bristles - an unpleasant feature of berries
Rose hips for tea can be taken fresh, dried, and also processed into syrup or jam. Since the wild rose has peculiar bristles inside, its processing presents a certain difficulty. These bristles will not cause inconvenience only if the berries are dried whole and have not been crushed to make tea. Sometimes, for medical purposes, it is recommended to brew dry berries, after grinding them. This is done if they want to get not only tasty, but also the most saturated with valuable microelements rosehip tea. The benefit of ground berries is that they contain vitamin E, carotene, tocopherol, oleic, linoleic, linolenic and other acids more easily pass into the drink.
What water to use?
One of the primary requirements for a tea drink is the quality of the water used for it. The recognized authority in terms of brewing medicinal infusions - Chinese medicine - divides water into seven types. The best - mountain or key, as well as spring. This water is of the highest quality. River in terms of useful properties follows her. Next on the list is well water. Nikolai Spafariy, who was ambassador to Beijing in the 17th century, recalled in his notes that the Chinese did not take water for brewing tea from nearby reservoirs, but bought it at the bazaar. It was brought from the mountainous regions, and it was very expensive.
The best water temperature for brewing rose hips
The temperature of the water for brewing is also of great importance. The Chinese, as the most authoritative specialists in the preparation of tea drinks, distinguish a great many stages of boiling water. One of the initial stages - bubbles that look like fish eyes and a slight noise, then - a splash of water and splashes from a collision with the wall of the dish, then - bubbles rising from the bottom and a "daring" seething. It is believed that the water most suitable for brewing tea is when the rising bubbles look like the eyes of a crab. At the first stage of boiling, salt should be thrown into the water, at the second - rose hips, and at the third - a little cold water to precipitate the rose hips and revive the freshness of the water. You should know that water cannot be boiled repeatedly.
