The Good Housekeeping Complete Book of Home Preserving (1981) recommends rosehip syrup ‘as a pleasant way to improve a diet lacking in vitamin C’. Make this syrup then dilute a teaspoonful or two with hot water (or add it to a cocktail) for a great winter drink. Hedgehog rose (Rosa rugosa) hips give the best flavour, but any rosehips could be used.
