Hip tea for cold and flu


     Hip is the fruit of wild rose, Dog Rose (Rosa canina). Tea from rose hip is an excellent tea for cold and flu. Hips are rich with vitamin C, who is an antioxidant.
     It is best to drink few cups of this precious and tasteful tea at the first sign of illness. That will remove the symptoms and you will feel better. Of course, it is also good to drink tea if you are already ill. It always works for me.

     Recepie for tea: put one teaspoon of hips in to one cup of boiled water, leave it covered for 10-15 minutes. After you strain it, put 1 teaspoon of honey and lemon juice (from one slice), that will give wonderful taste and better curative properties.

In this tea you can add cinnamon and clove. Clove has antibacterial and antiseptic powers. Clove and cinnamon are excellent disinfectants.
