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

Thank you! I will definitely look! and the grapes had to be cut above the ovary. She offered the girls leaves for dolma, but no one unsubscribed, but it's a pity to throw it away. So I twisted it. Let's see what comes of it!

Girls! I read how you make tea and rushed off to pick cherry leaves. And I came across bushes of blooming rose hips. I cut off the petals. And now the question is how to dry them properly? I don't have an electric dryer. Help me, so that valuable raw materials are not lost.

cut off the petals. And now the question is how to dry them properly

I dry the petals on a sheet of paper in indirect sunlight, spread it in a thin layer and wait until it rustles

Well, if there is no dryer, then such delicate raw materials as flowers can be dried simply in the air, at room temperature, spread out in a thin layer and periodically stirred for uniform drying.

baby doll, Yulia, in the oven is possible at the very minimum. If it is not possible to set a low temperature, then periodically heat it up a little - turn off the oven.

Girls, thank you so much! I'm going to do beauty and deliciousness. And another question, whether to freeze cherry leaves after withering or not. I read that they do it anyway. How is it better?

[Yulia]

freeze cherry leaves after withering or not. I read that they do it anyway. How is it better?

Yulia, it is as convenient for you. In the recipe, I wrote that freezing makes it easier to process the leaves. And manual processing becomes easier, and twisting through a meat grinder. This is especially true after the berries ripen and in autumn, when the leaves are hard.

Girls, I found a bush with white flowers, smelling like jasmine, in a nearby area. Googling, I realized that it was a mock-orange. Who has come across such a plant, tell me, please, is it possible to dry its flowers and add to tea instead of jasmine for aroma?

[lappl1]

lappl1Thank you, Lyudmilochka, for these wonderful teas. I took a long time to decide, but yesterday they brought wild cherry leaves from the dacha and froze them. In the morning I twisted it through email. meat grinder. Fermentation for a little over 4 hours. I dried for an hour at 100 grams, and another hour at 50. And I am delighted with the first tasting. And it turned out to be not difficult. I'm just not so sure that 4 hours was enough for fermentation. But it is very hot here and as soon as a pleasant smell appeared, I transferred everything to e-mail. dryer. I left some leaves and I continue to test them and wait for all the smells to disappear. After 8 hours, the aroma became weaker, but somehow more delicate. Maybe at that moment it was necessary to dry the leaves?

[Yulia]

Googling, I realized that it was a mock-orange. Who has come across such a plant, tell me, please, is it possible to dry its flowers and add to tea instead of jasmine for aroma?

Yulia, can. But we did not do it, because when it was ripe to flowers (in the fall), it did not bloom anymore.

[baby doll]

baby doll, Julia, I washed the leaves, left them for an hour to dry out. Then immediately, dividing it into two packages, froze. The electric meat grinder did it easily. The granules are neat. Tomorrow I will do everything with a pear.

[iriska3420]

Thank you, Lyudmilochka, for these wonderful teas.

iriska3420, Ira, to your health! I am very glad that you have joined us and that you enjoy this good business.
I wrote about the fermentation time in the recipe. I ferment for 6 - 8 hours, often less. And I still can't figure out which one I like better.Either I prefer 3-hour, then 24-hour, then 12-hour. So try it! There is no right or wrong here! It is your feelings that matter. And you can understand this only in autumn, and even in winter, when all the tea is ripe. Do different things. Anyone will be good!

Julia, you can. But we did not do it, because when it was ripe to flowers (in the fall), it did not bloom anymore.

Oh, how good it is! So tomorrow I will devote the day to collecting flowers and drying them!

Today she twisted pear leaves in a meat grinder, pushed the leaves with her hands, now her fingers have turned black. I wonder how quickly they will wash off and get a normal look?

[Yulia]

I wonder how quickly they will wash off and get a normal look?

Yulia, I do not know, I always pushed me with a special device to an electric meat grinder. If sorrel grows, try rubbing your hands with it.

Yulia, I don't know, always pushed me with a special device to an electric meat grinder. If sorrel grows, try rubbing your hands with it.

So I twist in a manual meat grinder and my hands darkened only from the pear. And sorrel grows a lot, I'll try to wipe it.

[Yulia]

Yuliado you have grapes? Then boldly connect it with small and hard leaves, twist it together, the granules will be very good.

[baby doll]

But what about withering? Indeed, the recipe itself says that this must be done.

But what about withering? Indeed, the recipe itself says that this must be done.

Last year I wrote so that you don't have to wither before the freezer. But last season we have empirically established with the whole topic that it is IMPOSSIBLE without withering. This year I made a recipe edit. This misunderstanding has now been removed in the new edition.

So I'm on the right track! I washed the leaves (there is no way without it), now I put them out to dry and wither. I still haven't decided whether to freeze or not. Probably you need to try both ways. And choose what you like more. The main process has begun!

I laid out the second batch of pear leaves (after washing) to dry, and that means I will dry out. I read this topic for a whole week and copied everything that was interesting to me and now I have a self-published album at hand. But, apparently I missed the edit. I will try the second option. This process is so exciting that I want to try all methods and all garden plants.

[baby doll]

baby doll, iriska3420, I really like your mood! Try different options, girls, and choose the ones that you like best.

But, apparently I missed the edit.

iriska3420, Irina, yeah, I just edited everything a couple of days ago. And I also add different information, especially in links. It is advisable to review the recipes again in all tea topics. Although it has not fundamentally changed anything. Only freezing was done in a way that facilitates the processes of preparing leaves for fermentation, but does not exclude wilting. I did better systematization. I took into account the experience of the last season. But I am constantly warning on all topics that I am making changes. Therefore, it is advisable to keep track of all new messages from tea topics.

Yesterday I collected rosehip flower petals and dried them. Such beauty turned out to be white and pink, it's a pity not enough - just a tablespoon, but the aroma is mesmerizing. I can imagine who has roses to dry. Now I will scroll the village, but with fireweed - I did not hesitate, and now I think suddenly it’s not him (there are a lot of similar ones), although I understand herbs, but he has a very strong herbal smell when scrolling.

And in the morning I picked up a few mock-orange flowers and put them to dry. Jasmine scent is all over the house now !!!

Yesterday I gathered rosehip flower petals, dried

Tasha, do you dry the petals in the dryer or just like that, arbitrarily? Yesterday I also picked flowers from a rose, scattered them in the drawer of the table, but they somehow turned brown .... what am I doing wrong? I want to try another tea made from rose leaves, do you think it is possible from any or only tea varieties are suitable?

[natushka]

but with fireweed - I did not hesitate, and now I think suddenly it’s not him (there are very many similar ones), although I understand herbs, but he has a very strong herbal smell when scrolling.

natushkaFirstly, there is not so much grass that looks like fireweed. Goldenrod only, but it grows more in dachas, and not in the field. Secondly, when twisted, there should be a herbal smell. For this we ferment so that the smell changes.

Yesterday I also picked flowers from a rose, scattered them in the drawer of the table, but they somehow turned brown .... what am I doing wrong?

Lucilia, the temperature and humidity conditions are not the same. better in a sushi oven. turn it on, heat it up a little and turn it off. And so several times until it dries. Air drying makes the result unpredictable.

any is possible or only tea varieties are suitable?

Luda, made of different things. try it.

Yesterday I added active links to reviews about certain perfumes, including the rose. Well, for more different moments. Explore active links... You will find many answers to your questions.

Girls, did someone do yoshta? how does it taste?
I collected a whole package yesterday - such a pleasant aroma))) is it worth it to interfere with something (there is a pear, cherry, peach)?

[Hang out]

Hang out, someone wrote what he was doing, but then did not share his impressions.
In general, mixed teas are always better than mono teas. so, decide for yourself how to do it.

so I'm leaning towards the mix, add a little bit of everything (there are still grapes - a white table variety and some kind of wild)

[Hang out]

some kind of wild

Hang out, tea is better. If possible, then make tea with her.

[Hang out]

Hang out, I did yoshta, but in a mixture. Therefore, it is difficult to answer, the mixture turned out to have a pleasant aroma, in order to accurately determine, it is necessary to prepare mono tea.

do you dry the petals in the dryer or just like that, arbitrarily? Yesterday I also picked flowers from a rose, scattered them in a drawer, but they somehow turned brown ..

I dried in a dryer, there is no good draft in the box and the temperature is low, the humidity persists for a long time, so they turn brown. Lyudmila has already answered.

Secondly, when twisted, there should be a herbal smell.

I agree, only that year I already made from August leaves, so it seemed that there was a very strong difference (apparently it depends on the tenderness of the leaves) that doubts overwhelmed. I think to ferment until 21 pm (it will turn out to be 15 hours), I haven't fermented anything for so long, I want to try it.

thanks for the answer) I will try, add some wild grapes))

[Hang out]

add some wild grapes))

Hang out, don't add wild grapes! It turns out tasteless tea! Have tried! I thought you were writing about some other game. Add canteen! Or all sorts of apple-pear-plum ..

I think to ferment until 21 pm (it will turn out to be 15 hours), I haven't fermented anything for so long, I want to try it.

natushka, I fermented for 36 hours. And 15 hours is normal. Feel free to do it.

I have delicious table white grapes growing (the berries are large, sweet) and one bush was littered with varieties of "Baku" (berries are small, fragrant, they make wine from it) - I wanted to add it. already the leaves of the narwhal.
this is not the wild grape that adorns fences
this is
and white is like this

this is not the wild grape that adorns fences

Natasha, uffff! And I was already scared! Not .. From this you can! Handsome! I didn't think that grapes are like that. Although she once grew up.
Make it out of it! It will be great!

even on the plot, the parents grow cool grapes of the Novak and Lydia varieties. here is the aroma !!!! when we harvest, be sure to pick leaves))

cool grapes of the Novak and Lydia varieties. here is the aroma !!!!

Lydia has an amazing nutmeg aroma. But, I think, with Isabella "wilds" it will be no worse.

[Hang out]

Hang out, Radushka, good for you! There are grapes! When making grapes, take as many varieties as possible. Alla-franzevna made 11 varieties at once. She said that the tea was delicious.

take as many varieties as possible

Good for you, you have Ivanushka! (sy).
And I don't have 11 grape varieties. Two or three at most. And that ... you have to choose - either save the leaves for tea, or limit their quantity for berries. Most likely, I will collect leaves from the minting, not wait for the ripeness of the berries.

I mainly get grape leaves from a neighbor, we have very little of it. Now I am glad to every leaf, nothing is thrown away, because they can lie in the freeze for a long time. As soon as enough is collected, so I make tea.

Girls, did someone do yoshta? how does it taste?

I did yoshta - not impressed! Neither taste nor smell.

Lyuda and girls, today we have collected 800 grams of wrinkled rose petals. I put some of them to dry in the summer kitchen, the aroma is unmatched. I even regret that such a wonderful aroma is not at home. For the most part, I want to cook jam, I choose the recipe on the Internet, but I'm afraid to ruin it.
Girls, does anyone have a proven jam recipe? Please share!

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=150623.0

An incomparable recipe!

[filirina]

filirina, Irina, thanks for the link to the recipe! But I didn’t watch it, I let it go.

does anyone have a proven recipe for jam

Would you like a proven liquor recipe? My guests always ask for a sip.

[Marina]

Girls, does anyone have a proven jam recipe? Please share!

Marina, Lena-Kubanochka has a proven recipe. Write to her in a personal or in a gazebo.

[Radushka]

Radushka, No, thanks, I don't want liquor, I cook more for children, I read the beneficial properties of petals, this is a panacea.
lappl1, Lyudochka, Kubanochka's box is full, I wanted to ask how she cooks.
Already made, 560 grams of petals, mixed with lemon juice and put honey instead of sugar, rubbed everything, it turned out to be a fragrant mass, I don't want to heat or boil, I'll see how it behaves. If it does, it will be a super vitamin puree.

[Marina]

Marina, yeah, raw everything tastes better and more aromatic. Also, if possible, I leave it raw. And then I clutter up the refrigerator with this good. But it's worth it!

Would you like a proven liquor recipe?

How do we not want it? WANTED WANTED WANTED! And it's urgent! Until the roses bloom!

urgently!

I will write in a personal so that they would not be accused of ... no matter what)))
