To make rosehip tea, steep dried rosehips in hot water, or simmer them briefly for a stronger infusion. Strain the drink carefully through a fine sieve before serving, since rosehips can leave small seed and fruit fragments.

Rosehip tea has a fruity, gently tart flavor, often compared with a mild cranberry-like taste. Its strength varies with the amount of fruit and steeping time; honey or another sweetener is optional, not essential.

Rosehips contain vitamin C, but the amount in a cup of rosehip tea varies with how the fruit was dried, stored, and prepared. Vitamin C is sensitive to heat, so prolonged boiling can reduce what remains in the drink.

There is limited evidence to establish that rosehip tea is safe in every pregnancy. Ask your doctor or dietitian before drinking it regularly, especially if you use medicines or have pregnancy-related health concerns.

Store brewed rosehip tea in a covered container in the refrigerator and drink it within a few days. Do not leave it at room temperature for extended periods, and discard it if its smell, taste, or appearance changes.
