Hi,
my grandma use to prepare it this way:

cut the rose hips into quarters so you can clean out
the little hairs (take carefully out all of them)

then the pieces may be dried easily and kept for quite a while
(for example dry in a blanket.

I don't know it its still possible with already dried fruit..
haven't tried yet.

rose hip tea needs some minutes to get a little colour,
give it at least 10 minutes - the colour needn't be so red.

I also enjoy eating the fresh red pieces (cleaned) hmmm
but only in season

regards

Amadeus
