Observations

In general, the minimum ratio of fruit to alcohol for the preparation of the tincture is 20% fruit and 80% alcohol.
In my case, I used whole rosehips and I used equal percentages of 50% rosehip and 50% alcohol.

⚠ Rosehips contain a huge amount of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and this, in an alcoholic agent, is completely absorbed.
