Rose Hip Tea

Rose hip tea is a caffeine-free herbal tea made from the fruit of rose plants, known for its sweet and sour taste and high vitamin C content. To brew, steep either fresh or dried rose hips in hot water for 5-15 minutes, depending on your preference for flavor intensity. The tea is rich in antioxidants and may offer health benefits, such as improved circulation and a reduction in inflammation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
This video demonstrates how to harvest and prepare rosehips for making tea:
Brewing instructions
  • For dried rose hips: Place 1–2 teaspoons of dried rose hips in a tea infuser and steep in a cup of boiled water for 10–15 minutes. Some sources suggest using water heated to around 185°F to preserve vitamin C.
  • For fresh rose hips: Rinse the hips well. Place 4–8 rose hips in a cup of boiled water and steep for 10–15 minutes. You can also blend them first for a stronger flavor.
  • For a stronger brew: Steep for longer, up to 20 minutes or more, or use a higher quantity of rose hips.
  • For a sweeter taste: Add sweeteners like honey, agave, or sugar after steeping, as rosehip tea has a naturally tangy flavor. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Health benefits

  • May help protect against cardiovascular disease by improving circulation and reducing inflammation.
  • May help with weight management and reducing body fat around the midsection. [1, 6, 10, 11]
Important considerations
  • Caffeine-free: Rose hip tea is naturally caffeine-free, making it suitable for any time of day.
  • Flavor: It has a unique sweet-and-sour, floral flavor, sometimes compared to green apple or hibiscus.
  • Additives: Some people find it best to drink plain to appreciate the natural taste, while others prefer to add sweeteners or other ingredients like hibiscus or ginger.
  • Precautions: While generally safe, certain individuals should consult a doctor before consuming, especially if they have pre-existing conditions or are pregnant. [2, 3, 6, 9, 12]
