I have a number of rose hip bushes and wish to make use of the hips. How do
I produce a drink from these.


If you can go back in the archive to a thread dated end Oct /
beginning Nov you will see a discussion about just this. I asked a
similar question and got some very useful answers.
Main points I learned were that freezing the hips helps them to break
down quicker. I had to boil mine for hours to get them soft enough to
strain. YOu need to rub them through a fine seive or better strain
through a jelly bag.
It's worth the effort.
