How to make rosehip tea

"Today in ATF we made rose hip tea.  Rose hip tea is made from roses and water.  One interesting thing about rose hips is that they came from roses in our garden."
--Alzario, grade 7

"The interesting thing about rose hips is that they only taste good in tea, not when you eat them regularly."
--Jamari, grade 6

"You pick them in the winter.  The rose hips are cool.  They are red and look just like strawberries."
--Cecil, grade 6 

"We made rose hip tea by taking them off the rose bushes, then we took the stems off..."

"...Then we boiled them."
--Alzario, grade 7

"Rose hip tea is healthy.  It doesn't go through factories and processing."
--Cecil, grade 6

"Lastly, we drank the tea.  I have to admit the tea was pretty bitter; needs some sugar."
--Jamari, grade 6
"Rose hip tea tasted very good; I loved it.  It's good for you if you have a cold because it has vitamin C in it. Vitamin C is also in oranges.  Thanks a lot.  We had a lot of fun this week cooking again."
--Alzario, grade 7

Here are some rose hips sitting out to dry so we can store them and use them later.
