Fermented tea made from leaves of garden and wild plants (master class)

[Radushka]

You can't imagine how upset I was! Every spring I removed and discarded the dark lower leaves!

Radushka, nothing, but now you know - live and learn. Now you are his chol and cherish!

Did anyone make barberry?
And further. We have silver goose growing everywhere. I read about him. Useful. BUT ... this is not the goof that is present here.
Try from ours, or what? On Sunday I'll go fishing, there are thickets of silvery sucker, however

[Radushka]

Did anyone make barberry?

Radushka, did. Not a bad tea, but not better than others, as it has a little tannins in its leaves.
And do the sucker. Everyone likes him.

Radushka, that narrow-leaved sucker, that is silvery - the composition is one. Only the leaves are different, silvery is more beautiful. Collect, don't be afraid!

goof do. Everyone likes him

The list of tea plants grows

[Radushka]

Radushka, so he even is in the voting room. Take a look. It's just not a priority, since not everyone has it, but everyone who made it is happy. So this is from the old list. In general, inside the topic in the comments about a lot of flavors written. But we decided to put the most popular ones up for voting.

Did you make tea from viburnum? Who liked it? I didn't see something about him in the topic or didn't look carefully ...

I've already seen about Kalina! I will try!!!

I think not more than 100 *

Is it okay if I shove? In a multicooker, the "languor" mode is 80 degrees. Not more!

goof do. Everyone likes him

It is a pity that he does not grow in my dacha, only within the city limits, but there is ecology ... I'll do it ... But I have a dime a dozen of badan, I know that noble tea is made from it, but for some reason I don't want to do it, but should I try?

In a multicooker, the "languor" mode is 80 degrees. Not more!

That is, we take a cartoon, pour raw materials there ..., and what next, can you give it more details? you are welcome..

That is, we take a cartoon, pour raw materials there ..., and what's next

no no no!!! I read this about languishing in a green tea pot. And the temperature is not indicated there. So I pointed out that in the cartoon the languor mode is 80 degrees. I don't think you can languish in a cartoon. There should be no air access, like, but a cartoon with a closed valve? Well I do not know. Maybe I'll try sometime. Then.

[Lucilia]

Girls, it is better not to dry tea in a cartoon. There he will be worn out. If there is no oven, then it is better in a pan in small portions. And they asked about the cartoon for green tea - to simmer the leaves there.

But I have a dime a dozen of badan, I know that a noble tea is made from it, but for some reason I don't want to make it, but should I try?

Lucilia, I just wrote about links to badan. Look at the first page in the links. do not, do not do badan, you will suffer with it. You cannot do it the way nature itself does it. In the spring, collect black leaves and that's it, drink tea.
Luda, I reduced the picture to you and sent it. insert ava.

insert ava.

Thanks, I'll try

And they asked about the cartoon for green tea - to simmer the leaves there.

And I wrote about it. About anguish. Probably, if you put the pot in a cartoon, then the languor will turn out.

All lovers of seagulls have a nice evening! I'm new to this business ... but I am very imbued and inspired .. Please tell me ..on which page can you find how and when to prepare jasmine flowers as an addition of aroma and beauty? The bush began to bloom .. mmmmm ... not transmitted aroma .. how to keep it for future use ..

I don't know what kind of jasmine you have, but I dried the leaves at a low temperature, the smell practically does not remain in the tea.

[Dzhessica]

how and when to prepare jasmine flowers as an addition of aroma and beauty? A bush began to bloom .. mmmmm ... not a transmitted aroma .. how to keep it for future use ..

Dzhessica, Hello! Well, even I, the author of the topic, will not tell you on which page what is written - there are already almost 600 of them. But we definitely did not write about jasmine flowers. I don't have it, only mock-orange (false jasmine). But Yandex gives this answer about real jasmine:

Jasmine flowers are harvested for the winter, as a rule, in May, during the period of mass flowering. It is best to harvest flowers in the early morning in dry, sunny weather. There are two ways to dry them. The first method involves laying them out on a newspaper or paper and then drying them in a warm room for a week. The second method involves using an oven to dry flowers.
To do this, lay out the jasmine flowers on a baking sheet and dry them for 5 hours in the oven at a temperature of 40 C. Since the flower petals do not contain much water in their composition, the process of drying them occurs rather quickly. Some sources recommend keeping jasmine flowers for 3-4 hours in water before drying, but this technique raises some doubts about the preservation of the delicate and pleasant smell of flowers. In addition, many beneficial substances will simply be washed out with water, and jasmine tea will not be so useful.
Whether or not to soak the petals before drying is up to you. In order for dry jasmine flowers not to lose their aroma and useful properties, it is best to store them not in linen bags, as many are used to, but in sealed glass or tin cans.

I dry all flowers and petals in a dryer at 40 *. And I wrote about it in the recipe.

Thank you Lyudmila for the information! : rose: Unfortunately ... I don’t know what kind of jasmine I have, because I recently bought a house and there it was planted a long time ago. But I will try to collect and dry

I really like to add red clover heads to milk tea. Fresh when - very tasty. Dried good too. Try who is interested.

[lily_a]

lily_a, we just wrote about clover flowers today. I honestly don't like him. I'm bitter. Red clover, ditch in the meadow.

lily_a, we just wrote about clover flowers today. I honestly don't like him. I'm bitter. Red clover, ditch in the meadow.

Maybe the climate is different or clover? It's very tasty for me - it gives me honey. I like this proportion: heads (aha with greens) clover 5 parts, chubushnik flowers 1 part, linden flowers 1 part. Brew fresh. Add a third or a quarter of the milk.

Lily, rather, our tastes are different. I collected fresh and brewed, and winter, from under the snow. The result is almost the same. Bitter for me.

I'm bitter. Clover

Me too. Only sometimes I drink, it helps against atherosclerosis, and so, for a change. Previously, when I did not know about tea making, I brewed it more often, now it is very rare.

[natushka]

Me too.

natushka, thanks, reassured! And then I think - either something is wrong with me, or I have the wrong clover. And our relatives come to us every year for this clover. dried then and drunk too for atherosclerosis. They say it helps a lot. Our clover is not blooming yet. I collect it too, but I forget to drink.

Brew fresh

fresh? Not dried?

fresh? Not dried?

Dried loses its taste. But that's okay too.

Dried loses its taste

I have a clover blooming in my garden. And a chubushnik. And there will be no linden for another two weeks. That's why she asked.Maybe dry some clovers and some mock-orange while waiting for a linden tree?

If the clover will dry up the taste of grass - for an amateur it may not fade in 2 weeks? Chubushnik flowers can be dried.

may not fade in 2 weeks

Can. It's chilly at night here.

Good morning everybody! Did anyone make tea from elderberry?

[Ulia_M]

Did anyone make tea from elderberry?

Ulia_M, no, after consulting last year, we decided not to.

[lappl1]

lappl1, yes, an elderberry is such ... for an amateur, and edible only boiled. We have a lot of it growing here, I thought to try it as tea, but if so, I will not waste time.

[Yulia]

Yulia, and you can also type a poisonous elderberry due to inexperience. so it’s better not. There are so many sauces that make guaranteed delicious tea. So, we will make the best of them.

About elderberry. Even in the red elderberry, fully ripe berries are not poisonous. And the black one is always edible. But not everyone can distinguish them from each other. The leaves of the red elderberry always contain toxic substances; during the period of ripe berries there are very few. I don't think it's worth experimenting, raw materials for tea, moreover, completely harmless and tasty, around the sea.

If someone made a quince, tell me, how best to process it? (freezing, or meat grinder)

[lappl1]

lappl1, paramed1, the elderberry grows near the house - black and edible - I've been making jam from it for several years.

[Yulia]

Yulia, that's right, black is edible and healthy.

[Veronica]

Veronica, the final is useful, I do not even argue. I read that if fresh, not cooked, it can cause stomach upset, so I did not try it. And the jam is very tasty and loved by our family!

[Yulia]

Yuliawhat smart girls! And they won't take mine in your mouth ... After all, tasty, healthy, but - phew, they say!

[Lilya34676]

If someone made a quince, tell me, how best to process it? (freezing, or meat grinder)

Lilya34676, any leaves can be minced. Then the granules are stronger and the meat grinder is not so resistant. So do as you please. If you want, twist it right away, if you want - freeze it, and then twist it.

We have little raspberries, but a lot of forest blackberries. The leaves are similar. I think the tea will be delicious too. Someone tried to make tea from blackberries? Share your experience? And, as I understand it, will you need to make a sheet with freezing leaves and rolling into rolls?

[Yulia]

Yuliamaking blackberries. Not a bad tea, but I don't remember how they did it. Mistletoe did, you can ask her in PM.

[Yulia]

Yulia, so, I found that Mistletoe wrote about how she made blackberries

She's a neighbor. Growing behind the fence ... The leaves are triple like this:


Berries are about the size of raspberries. sour to taste. Do not have time to ripen.


The leaves are prickly, I cut young ones with scissors. Why did I fall for them, they were too green and juicy against the background of all the other yellowed plants. Spun in a meat grinder. Granules disintegrated of course. but in general it turned out not bad.

shl. tomorrow I'll take a picture of the bush in the original.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, Thank you so much! I'll try and then make it through a meat grinder, although they somehow look more like raspberry leaves to me, so I immediately thought about rolls and freezing. Or maybe try this and so ...

[Yulia]

Yulia, I would try to make blackberries with an apple tree, then the granules will not crumble. Mistletoe then made it with an apple tree. But you can also freeze, and then wind the rolls.

Here, I found a message from Mistletoe about a blackberry

Reporting on blackberry tea. The leaves are prickly, cut with scissors. Added more apple and raspberry leaves. Granules of course crumbled, but after drying it turned out well.



Fermentation for 6 hours. The color turned out to be very saturated. although I put only 1 hour. l. for 330ml and poured it twice. It's hard to tell by taste. because you constantly involuntarily compare with fireweed and against its background the blackberry certainly loses. BUT it has its own flavor. Subtle aroma, bitterness. I'd say it looks like strong black tea.

So I went and picked up the blackberry leaves - they are really very prickly, I cut them off with gloves. I think that because of this prickly it will have to be twisted in a meat grinder. Well, then I'll try it right away with apple leaves.

[Yulia]

Yulia, well done ! No sooner said than done! I'm waiting for your impressions!

Good day, Lyudochka! Today I opened the tea season with raspberries and cherries. She twisted the grapes at the same time. We have it in the questionnaire, but I have not read reviews about it. Do you remember by chance that the people wrote about grapes?

Hello, Ira! Congratulations on the opening of the tea season. About grapes, you can see the review at the bottom of the recipe on the first page - open the active link. Everyone praises him very much. And the more varieties are collected in tea, the better. It's just too early to do it yet. If you haven't read the updated versions of all tea recipes yet, read it. I added a lot there.
