Ingredients
- 1 kg of hawthorn (fruit)
Estimated cost: 3.0 €
Materials
- fruit dehydrator
Preparation
Wash the hawthorn fruits in 2-3 waters and leave them for half an hour on flat surfaces (on kitchen towels) to evaporate the excess water.
After they have dried, place the hawthorn fruits on the trays of the dehydrator as airy as possible.
We set a drying time of 8 hours, at a temperature of 50 º C. The drying time differs in principle from the temperature chosen, but it is good to choose a temperature as low as possible, even 40 º C, in order not to alter the nutrients through heating.
At the end, stop the dehydrator and leave the hawthorn fruits in it until they cool completely.
After they have cooled completely, dried (dehydrated) hawthorn fruits can be stored in paper bags, or in various containers.
We will use the dried hawthorn fruits to prepare teas, i.e. infusion for 10-15 minutes of a spoonful of dried hawthorn fruits in ~ 250 ml of boiled water.
