Tea with hip berry and mint

Water mint has a wonderful peppermint scent and is delicious in herbal teas and dishes with lamb.

However, water mint, which often grows along streams, should never be eaten raw. It may contain parasites if there are grazing animals in the fields adjoining the water. The same applies to, for instance, watercress.

Tea with hip berry and mint

Make a tea from the herbs you prefer. Here we have used rosehip and mint, but you can also brew a lovely tea with, for example, fresh thyme.

Procedure

Place the rosehips and mint leaves in a pot or teapot. Pour the boiling water over and let the tea steep for at least 10 minutes. Sweeten with honey to taste.

Ingredients
