Rosehip compote
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Remember that rosehip morse, like all other drinks made from these berries, should always be consumed through a straw to protect tooth enamel from discoloration! It's best to serve the drink warm, adding honey or sugar to taste, if not done earlier. Ready to serve.

Step 4
Pour in hot water and place the container on the stove. Do not bring the liquid to a boil; instead, heat it until steam begins to form on the surface, just before boiling. Then turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let the rose hips steam for 15 minutes.

Step 5
After the specified time, the berries will sink to the bottom — this means they have already been steamed.

Pour the morse into cups and drink it warm, but only through a straw—this drink damages tooth enamel and stains it dark!
