Hi Sarah, those little hairs can be so tricky to remove. I’d suggest you experiment with using the whole hips, you just need to make sure you can strain out the hairs well. I’d suggest crushing them into smaller pieces, but not grinding into anything near a powder. Then, try them out in an infusion. They are pretty hardy so they may require a longer steep, up to 20 minutes. After this, strain the infusion very well, you could even pour it through a cheesecloth, just to make sure the hairs are kept behind. Let us know how this goes!
