Notes
Some of the ingredients in these recipes, I have foraged. Please be 100% certain of anything you decide to forage for yourself. Otherwise you can find the ingredients online or in a local herb store.
*Multi-flora rose hips are much smaller than common garden rose hips but both can be used in this recipe. Use half to a whole regular rose hip in place of the multi-flora rose hips.
