Super-C Soup

This is to be used when you feel a cold coming on.

Ingredients

• 1 cup seedless rose hips
• 1 quart water

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Yogurt or sour cream (optional)

Instructions

1. Soak rose hips in water overnight.
2. The next day, simmer the rose hips, water, honey and cinnamon for 30 minutes. To minimize the loss of vitamin C, simmer - don't boil - the soup for 30 minutes ONLY, keeping a lid on the saucepan.

4. Chill, and serve with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, if desired.
