Rose Hip Sun Tea

Our lovely neighbor Mary Jo gave me some rose hips from her garden to make tea with on Saturday.  Excitedly I put some water in the kettle and turned it on.  Then a little bell in my head went ding.  I should make this tea in the sun.  I promptly turned off the stove, dumped said water, still cold, out of the kettle and into a large glass jar (that was just vacated by some oats).  Into the garden it went to await the warmth of the sun.
A taste test on monday proved the tea to be weak so I gave it another day and by tuesday morning it was tea.  A mild flavor, made a bit more satisfying with the addition of some agave nectar.  If only you could lick the photo to have a taste.  I think that I will make a tea that I am more familiar with the next time I make sun tea, that way I'll know if it tastes right.
