The benefits of golden sea buckthorn are difficult to overestimate. Our ancestors were well aware of healing properties of the berry. People drank the aromatic tea with sea buckthorn against any ailments in the times of the Ancient Rus. Colds or heart problems, lack of vitamins or stomach aches – our ancestors had one recipe for salvation – a cup of hot drink from sea buckthorn, in search of which they went to the swamps. They collected everything: leaves, berries and even bark, which was actively used in medicine. Berries were saved for delicious tea.
Today, there is no need to go for this natural treasure in the thick forest, and the brewing process of the drink is a matter of minutes. You can choose any recipe since sea buckthorn can be supplemented with different additives.
Bright orange, aromatic and very tasty freshly brewed sea buckthorn tea according to your favorite recipe is the real sunshine in a cup. It helps to warm up in a chilly winter evening. The tea is a natural antidepressant and an elixir of youth thanks to the composition of berries:

The benefits of the berry have been clearly proven, but in case of individual intolerance, it is not recommended to use sea buckthorn decoction.
Harvesting berries for your favorite recipe begins at the end of summer, and leaves can be collected as early as in April (during the flowering period of the plant). The berries are picked in the first half of the day, in clear and dry weather. According to the recipe, the raw materials are sorted, washed thoroughly and dried with paper towels.
The simplest way to preserve the berries is to freeze them. This will not affect the taste of the drink in the future. There are two ways to freeze:
It is not uncommon to choose a drying recipe. Ripe berries are laid out in a single layer on a grid and left outdoors in the shade. You can dry the air-dried berries in the oven to the end. The leaves are not pre-washed, but dirt is only gently removed with a napkin by hand. They are laid out onto trays and dried in the sun or in an electric dryer (maximum temperature +40°C).
