You can brew either whole rose hips or pre-chopped ones. But you need to understand that in the second case the infusion will be more vitamin rich, since more substances will be released into the water;

Boiling water will destroy vitamin C. Scientists believe that when heated above 80 degrees, vitamins are destroyed. Therefore, you should not pour boiling water into the thermos, but boiled water that has cooled to 80 degrees.

It is also important how the berries intended for brewing were collected and how they were stored. The collection must be completed before frost sets in, otherwise the vitamins will be destroyed. Dried berries should be stored away from sunlight, preferably in a cool and dry pantry.
