Preparing to market rose hip tea

Agriculture Task Force is preparing to sell our rose hip harvest.  As always, we will use the money we make to buy more supplies for our agriculture program.

Our idea is to make rose hip tea and give out free samples at the CJA African American Heritage Celebration on Thursday evening, February 20th.  Then we'll sell the rose hips and explain to people how to make this tasty and healthy beverage.

Javion and Lorne (grade 6) write out preparation instructions that will come with every purchase of rose hips.  Here's what they wrote:

Rose Hip Tea

1. Put 6 rose hips in 6 cups of water.

2. Boil for 5 minutes.

3. Pour in a mug.

4. Wait for tea to cool.

5. Add honey or sugar

6. Enjoy!

You can re-use rose hips up to three times.

Alzario (grade 8), Milaun (grade 6), and Ms. Lucy separate the stems and petals from dried rose hips, and select the best ones to sell.
