Wash 100 g of raisins, 100 g of cranberries and 250 g of oats. Combine them in a saucepan, pour 2 liters of water and bring to a boil.

Recipes with rosehip for health — a storehouse of vital elements. To get them in full, it is enough to prepare a regular infusion. Knead 40 g of fresh rosehip berries in a mortar and pour 1 liter of hot water in a thermos. Do not take steep boiling water, because vitamin C is destroyed at a temperature above 80 °C. Tightly seal the thermos and soak the berries for at least 3 hours. Ideally, leave them overnight. For the treatment of colds, you can add 1 tsp of ground ginger to the infusion.
Use with exposure
In dry form, rosehip berries retain absolutely all the useful qualities that nature has awarded them. A healing tincture of them will come out well. Chop 5 tbsp. l. rosehip berries, pour with lemon peel into a glass jar. Add 6 tablespoons of sugar, 400 ml of vodka and 600 ml of water. We close the jar with a lid and put it in a dark place for a month. Do not forget to periodically shake its contents. Take a tincture of 25 ml once a day. Experts say that this is the best medicine for immunity.

We need to completely get rid of small bones and hard skin. But do not rush to throw them away: the pomace will make an excellent vitamin juice. So, the purified berry mass is combined with 200 g of honey and vigorously mixed until completely dissolved. This tool will help you quickly say goodbye to a cold, and just cheer up.

What herbs are good for your health in the cold? The answer is a recipe for a fragrant herbal tea with raspberries. Mix 1 tsp of thyme, oregano, dandelion root and linden flowers in a thermos. Pour out a handful of dried raspberries here and pour the mixture with 1 liter of steep boiling water. It is necessary that the infusion is saturated with aromas for an hour, after which it should be filtered. If desired, you can add a couple of spoons of leafy black or green tea to the herbal collection. And sweetmeats can put a little honey in a cup.
