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

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, tea is unusually beautiful

and then ... ah, it's a pity that there are only two hands.

Ah, Irina, as I understand you. I come home from work at 9 pm and immediately rush to collect the leaves, dry them, twist them .... and so I regret that the daylight time is only 1.5 hours.

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, the color of the tea is very beautiful!

[lappl1]

lappl1, tell me, how long does it take to dry the tea in a pillowcase?

Days 2-3, depending on your weather, ambient temperature, if in the house, then longer.

[Natusichka]

I couldn’t stand it ... I made tea (as I wrote earlier), after drying it in a pillowcase for almost a week, it is in the bank for a week ... when I opened it ... the smell is just stunned! Brewed ...

Natusichka, great tea! The color is saturated. And the main thing is that you like him. Well done! You see, you can do without fireweed (for now).

Narwhal yesterday cherry leaves in the village. They lie wither. And they smell like ROSE! And from the same cherries, when I vomited before, they smelled like cherries. Straight, I wonder what the tea will smell like?

Radushka, it will change its smell a hundred times more. First during fermentation, and then during aging. But it is clear that it will smell delicious!

[Ulia_M]

tell me, how long does it take to dry the tea in a pillowcase?

Ulia_M, Lena has already answered (thanks, Lenusik). It all depends on what the weather is. It happens that a day is enough. And it happens, and hangs for a week. Dried tea has a dry rustling sound when you shake the bag.

Girls! I have an opening today. I don't even know what topic to write on ...
I added a piece of "marshmallow" from pine shoots and apple skins to Ivan-tea. Background: I twisted pine shoots through a meat grinder, apple skins in a coffee grinder, mixed, boiled syrup, poured shoots and skins, welded several times. It was a pity to filter the deliciousness, I left it with cake. And I forgot about this jam with teas, work, worries. Now it is necessary to break it off from the form. Here is a piece of this "marshmallow" I added to my granulated willow tea. Stunned how delicious: it smells and tastes almost like milk from my favorite pine nuts!
My husband is sick now, I solder him with a linden tree with this "marshmallow" - he sweats, says that the cough is getting easier.
The idea came to make a healing mix with just dry raspberries (leaves), fermented strawberries (for a dark color), pine pastille, dry strawberries or apple (Antonov skins) and some other flowers ... It's a pity that the lungwort left, I would added it. If it succeeds (which is unlikely), I would add linden flowers, and willow-tea flowers. And from one glance at a jar with such beauty, all colds will disappear!

Nastya, how great did you come up with! Everything is healthy and, of course, delicious! I also really like pine in tea. But I didn’t think of making lozenges, especially with apple skins. Lord, how many I threw them away. I dried just a little for tea, but it could have been more, but at that time my dryer did not turn off anyway - it dried mushrooms and apples around the clock.

The idea came to make a healing mix with just dry raspberries (leaf),

Of course, you can make any mixes. Everything will come in handy in winter.
Let the husband get better faster!

[Lyudochka]

Lyudochka! Thank you for your support: rose: and wishes for my husband - I treat with all my might.
I will definitely report on the mixes, but not soon - for now I’ll dial, dry, mix.

[Girls,]

Girls, thanks for rating my tea! I can't stand it, I periodically open the can to smell the tea, such a scent !!! I want to dry and dry!

Nastenka! What a needlewoman and inventor you are! How much energy do you have !!! And what did the husband decide to get sick in the summer ?! Well, I'm sure his illness can only be surrendered to such drugs!

Lyudochka, I will not stop thanking you for the fact that you all of us (I am sure that this is the opinion of absolutely everyone who got into this topic) instruct, support (sometimes scold, but it is necessary!), THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!! You can't even imagine what a good deed you are doing!
By and large, now the tea that we buy in the store is not quite tea ... not quite the quality that it should be, I know that dyes and other nonsense are added there ... tea that really TEA costs so much that not everyone can afford to buy. And the TEA that you (and now all of us) make is very accessible and, most importantly, very useful!
I, like many who "got" on this topic, began a terrible leafomania !!!! Now I look at the leaves, like a boa constrictor at a rabbit ...

The idea came to make a healing mix

My son got sick yesterday. Comes almost at night.
- Mom, give that YOUR tea, please! So you want something tasty.
I drank it until the morning. Now he says that he feels recovered.
And there was nothing medicinal in that tea. Apple-pear-cherry.
Girls, I am sure that our teas with any composition will be medicinal for those we love. Aren't we making tea for them? Surely, tea, like bread, absorbs our positive energy.

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, thank you very much for your kind words addressed to me! I am very glad that not only me like this tea. And I am glad that I carried away our members of the forum with such an interesting activity. And you just noticed about leafomania. Anyone who has made such tea at least once can no longer calmly walk past something growing.

[Radushka]

My son got sick yesterday. Comes almost at night. - Mom, give that YOUR tea, please! So you want something tasty. I drank it until the morning. Now he says that he feels recovered.

Radushka, and your son got sick? I agree that our tea heals. And not only with our love with which he did. A lot of useful things remain there. Well, vitamins almost disappeared, but all sorts of acids and trace elements remained. Therefore, it is curative. Many were convinced of this last year.
Sweetheart, God bless your son. And you, of course! And to all tea makers!

[Ludmila]

Ludmila,

God bless your son

Thank you, Lyudochka! And you health!

girls, good morning)) I show - the petals of a tea rose, rolled through a meat grinder and dried in the oven. smells like a rose, they take up a little space))

[Hang out]

Hang outwhat cool granules! With a pink tint! Thank you very much for sharing information and showing a photo. As soon as my roses and rose hips bloom en masse, I will make these too!

we have already bloomed (((only garden ones remained, but they are not tasty (

[Hang out]

Hang outwhat a beauty! It's a pity, my roses with rose hips have already faded! Next year I will definitely do this!
I like the petals more! Petals, of course, decorate tea, but when brewed they become rags. All beauty is gone.

yeah, I also don’t like these floating gray-brown "rags")))) and the granules fell to the bottom along with the rest and smell slowly))

Girls, did anyone dry peony flowers in tea?

[Darina-T]

Darina-T, last year we thought of petals in the fall, there were no more peonies. And this year no one has written about them yet. Why not? It is a medicinal plant, but the roots are used. And petals will not make special weather in tea, however, as well as from other plants.

dried peonies flowers in tea?

Darina-T, note that you need to dry not flowers, but only petals... A cup of flowers can ruin the tea, but the petals, as a rule, do not give the taste and aroma to tea.

dried some flax flowers, they are so blue, beautiful ... I wonder if they can be added to teas for beauty?

I still didn't understand ... is it possible or not?

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, sorry, I missed your question. Sure you may! Flax is useful. And the flowers will definitely not harm. You would take a picture of them for us, it is very interesting to see them in dried form. They are small, how will they look? But little blue spots should decorate the tea.

Okay, I'll take a picture today!

[Lyudochka]

Lyudochka, you wrote about fireweed honey, and today I read about honey made from pine cones in Gardenia's mailing list. It is written that you cannot copy, I will give you a link, but if you cannot, delete it. 🔗

I already have 670g of rose petals in my freezer. Yesterday I put only a dark red velvety rose in a separate 170g package, the aroma is breathtaking.
Thanks to our tea, I do not drink tavegil, I can communicate and work with roses and other fragrant flowers (except for lilies), so the ADVANTAGE FROM YOUR WORK is HUGE !!!

[Allochka]

Allochka, inactive links can be given, so everything is in order. I've read about "honey" from pine cones before. And we have a recipe on our website. I really wanted to do it, but in our forest there are either young pines on which there are no cones yet, or old ones, to which you cannot jump. Therefore, she made Lina's jam from pine shoots. And she made tea from the shoots. And you, if you have, be sure to do it.

Thanks to our tea, I do not drink tavegil, I can communicate and work with roses and other fragrant flowers (except for lilies), so the ADVANTAGE FROM YOUR WORK is HUGE !!!

Allochka, thank you for your kind words! I am so glad that I was able to help you and other members of the forum with my recipes. May God grant everyone health!

A grape-cherry mix is ​​dried. (frozen-meat grinder-12 hours of fermentation). The smell of ... cherry compote! The color of the granules is light brown. I think the tea will be light. How to add color?

[Radushka]

I think the tea will be light. How to add color?

Radushka, pear or apple tree! You will get super color!

I add more information about the rose: 🔗
🔗 - rose oil recipe

[Radushka]

Radushka, pear or apple tree! You will get super color!

The mother-in-law went around the neighborhood of the village (she cannot go far). I found both a wild pear and an apple tree. And then there is a pear near my fishing spot. Looked at for a long time.
And the taste will not be hammered?

[Radushka]

Radushka, It's good that you are reminded of cherries. She fell out of my sight. My tea leaves all give rich colors and I just wanted to ask the question from which plants the tea turns out to be light in color. And, probably, it is necessary to collect leaves from a yellow cherry?

[Irina]

Irina,

probably need to pick the leaves from the yellow cherry

I do not know. I have Valery Chkalov - a dark, almost black berry. Light straw turned out to be a pure sucker when brewing. Although, the tea itself is ... gray-green. Today I twisted a sucker with cherries. I'll dry it tomorrow.

[Radushka]

And the taste will not be hammered?

Don't worry, they won't score. Especially the apple tree!

My tea leaves all give rich colors and I just wanted to ask the question from which plants the tea is obtained in light color.

Radushka, so I wonder why you get a light color in the granules? Or is it such a feature in sweet cherry grapes? Or do you dry at a low temperature?
Irina, for me the light color of the granules is obtained only from the apple tree and from non-fermented raspberries. Why do you need light tea? For beauty?

[Darina-T]

Darina-T, last year we thought of petals in the fall, there were no more peonies. And this year no one has written about them yet. Why not? It is a medicinal plant, but the roots are used. And petals will not make special weather in tea, however, as well as from other plants.Darina-T, note that you need to dry not flowers, but only petals... A cup of flowers can ruin the tea, but the petals, as a rule, do not give the taste and aroma to tea.
[/ In Google I scored "what flowers are dried in tea", gave out peonies as well. We still have viburnum in bloom, mock-orange and peonies are blooming.Is it really impossible to convey the aroma of flowers to tea? Here is the sadness. I bought a dryer, I thought about drying flowers for tea, started looking for how to dry flowers and make tea, came across your amazing topic. I will definitely join your company, thank you for being ...

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, no. I dry 150-125-100-70. It seems to me that this is because of the grapes. Yesterday I dried clean grapes. It is completely light. I didn't, really. Well, the leaves are still very young, tender. I suffered with them. Moreover, immediately after withering (not freezing), they twisted perfectly. It was late and I froze the rest. Today I barely processed it. Wrapped them in cherry leaves. That was the only way it turned out, at least something. And still they were spinning into foam. And the veins were wound around the auger. Although, wilted well. Maybe it's the meat grinder? I have a meat grinder older than me in age.

[Darina-T]

Is it really impossible to convey the aroma of flowers to tea?

Darina-T, we would not clog the aroma of tea with unknown scents! And the fact that the dryer was bought is right !. Look at our website, there are a lot of recipes for the dryer. For me, for example, one is not enough. I'm going to buy the second one too.
Stay with us! Let's make tea together!

we would not clog the aroma of tea

Here! I'm very afraid of that! Such a delicate scent! With such an aftertaste!

[Radushka]

Maybe it's the meat grinder? I have a meat grinder older than me in age.

Radushka, it may well be! A good meat grinder is needed. And Alla-francevna knows everything about grape and cherry tea. She has to wait. She will tell.

A good meat grinder is needed

I haven't gotten a good pension yet

[Radushka]

Radushka, I have the same problem - an old meat grinder. In general, nothing is twisted, I began to make sheet.

[Natalia]

Natalia, I will buy a new one. The problem with the hand. Can you wind up one sheet?

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, no. I dry 150-125-100-70. It seems to me that this is because of the grapes. Yesterday I dried clean grapes. It is completely light. I didn't, really. Well, the leaves are still very young, tender. I suffered with them. Moreover, immediately after withering (not freezing), they twisted perfectly. It was late and I froze the rest. Today I barely processed it. Wrapped them in cherry leaves. That was the only way it turned out, at least something. And yet they were spinning into foam. And the veins were wound around the auger. Although, wilted well. Maybe it's the meat grinder? I have a meat grinder older than me in age.

I freeze all the leaves. After freezing, the grapes become soft, pliable, I put other leaves on it and roll them, they curl very easily. Even when I did it manually in a meat grinder, I tried to grind them at the same time. Without freezing, the leaf will be difficult to twist.

[Radushka]

I haven't received a good pension yet

Radushka, good does not mean dear! I have the cheapest Chinese. But he copes with the task (mmm).

[Alla]

Alla, but I have better twisted without freezing! And so ... yes. I wrapped it in cherries. I wound it up.

[Radushka]

Radushka, then, of course, only buy and quickly, so as not to miss the harvesting season.

[Allochka]

After freezing, the grapes become soft, pliable, I put other leaves on it and roll them, they curl very easily.

Allochkahow quickly you reacted, thanks! Alla, Radushka was interested in the color of grape and cherry tea (dry). Are you light too?

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, it is not light. It's brown. And I want it to be dark.

[Radushka]

it is not light. It's brown. And I want it to be dark.

Radushka, for example, from an apple tree, even if you hurt yourself, you won't get dark dry tea. He's brown and that's it. Maybe the same story with grapes and cherries?

[Ludmila]

Ludmila,

Maybe the same story with grapes and cherries?

maybe ... Anyway, I really liked the smell of tea. The granules are large and beautiful. I hope the tea worked out too.
