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

[Veronica]

Veronica,

of those that are suitable for this

I liked the peony
He would have color and absence ... well, it is clear what ... I will not repeat myself! There would be no price.
I twist raspberries in a meat grinder, without defrosting. Well, the granules are small, but the tea is excellent!

we will know ... on occasion I will try to plant this variety.

I have this hybrid strawberry. How does it bear fruit? It didn't suit me very well, but I still hold it. This is a late variety.

[Radushka]

Radushka, sorry, I put the link wrong. There are really few berries in it, but why will the tea be delicious? I have planted a few bushes, but she spread herself, a handful of berries from her! I'm all going to catapult her.

[paramed1]

paramed1, Veronica, can you twirl raspberries in a meat grinder? in a meat grinder and the aroma is richer. I like raspberries, I will always make them mono. Very fragrant candy.

[Oksana]

Oksana, Mitszechindler - used to create other varieties. And, in principle, there are many others.
I like everything about her, except for the yield. And the fact that it is late, and how fragrant, and how it is stored (it was the case, it stood in the jar in the refrigerator for more than a week and did not float) I hope that the tea will be delicious, because it has a strong nutmeg taste. I hope it's dark, because the leaves are very dark (see for yourself). And in order for the yield to be higher from a square meter, it is planted 15X15 and changed every two years.
Your yield dropped because you gave it the opportunity to creep. The rule for strawberries is one child from one bush. ALWAYS!

[Radushka]

Radushka, by suitable means non-toxic. The people make it out of wheatgrass, he says, they like it.
Oksana, my raspberries are falling apart through the wheelhouse.

[Veronica]

Veronica, but what, the flowers of the larkspur are really non-poisonous, unlike the grass?

[Radushka]

RadushkaAs I remember, the larkspur, which is still pickled, burgundy, delphinium, is from the Buttercup family, which means it contains aconitic acid, and it should be contained in all parts of the plant. Yes, there are also alkaloids, that is, it is better not to put in tea. And there are contraindications for the use of decoctions and infusions.

[Girls,]

Girls, What is the best way to store dried flowers? For example, dried sunflower petals.
🔗
In glass, paper bag, or something else?

[Natusichka]

Natusichka,

In glass, paper bag, or something else?

In a box, like pharmaceutical herbs. NOT hermetically sealed! In a dry, dark place.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, I got Ivanushka! 4 plants. Hopefully it will grow by the fall, if our heat does not abate.

[Radushka]

Radushka, thanks for the advice!
And about Ivanushka .... Divorce, maybe we will succeed later! And what did you bred? And where did you get it?

[Radushka]

Radushka, You shade the rhizomes with mowed grass or something else, it is like clematis - the top is in the sun, and the legs are chilled. It would be nice to have grown! Keep us informed, I wonder if it will work out?

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, a girl from the Chernihiv region sent me a freshly dug bush. I cut off the tops - almost completely stems with flowers. I was able to make almost 100 g of tea from the leaves. On the 27th I planted it in the middle of my meadow (I have a part of the garden under tinning). And the time is not good now for planting, and the days were undesirable, and in general ... BUT, there was no heat for a week. So, he managed to sprout. The mother-in-law just called that sprouted. Punished to shake. We transplanted the wild pear into the very hot place (removed it from the field road - it still does not live there). It took a month.

[Veronica]

Veronica, it will be covered with aftermath in the meadow. We rarely cut down. 4 times per season.

So the hand is light! And the one who gave the plant, gave it from the heart, not otherwise!

[Veronica]

Veronica, so the girls twist her twice, and they do well. I haven't done it this year yet, but I plan to do it twice.
Radushka, bought two Mitzzechindler bushes in pots at the exhibition for a decent price. The seller said: leave all the children for breeding, and so for two years. Like, after two years she stops giving children. Well, actually, I multiplied them. And in one place they grow uncontrollably, just in case. She planted 6 bushes in a greenhouse, but even there she feels bad, not entirely bad, but definitely not AH. This year I have not enough tomato, I was already going to remove it. I'll try to make tea from her, but I need to see what sheets she has ?! Clean or not. You can try the leaves uncontrollably, they are definitely clean. On the street, the outlet is more beautiful, more interesting, there are more leaves; and berries? 1 piece.

Not exactly one berry, more of course, but they ripen badly and grow badly-buttons. I can try to make a small bed for them, if there is time and desire.

[Oksana]

Oksana, well, I have more than one thing, but you can't grow it up for sale))). And he gives children, yes, only two years. I also get one from one bush every year. If it makes tea, what is the result? I'd like to know if it's worth messing around. Of the varieties that I have already made, the tea did not impress me.

I will, but I will do it from garden plants in August, after berries. A responsible task, but if I came up with it, I'll throw some leaves for Nastya, she made tea from ordinary strawberries this year. There will be fresh associations.

Killer Flowers

🔗

I would add here lilac flowers, mock orange (jasmine), clover flowers (any). But not murderous, but do not need them for food.

[Olga]

Olga, my neighbor at the dacha collects red clover on the advice of a famous herbalist, I don't remember her name. And this is not just advice in the media, but a personal contact.

[Olga]

Olga, and what is wrong in lilac, mock orange, clover? Lilac, for example, contains salts of hydrocyanic acid, but mainly in the bark, the flowers are raw, yes, it is not recommended to chew by handfuls, and after heat treatment the salts are completely neutralized. When treating with clover, one must remember about contraindications, they are. But the addition of meadow clover flowers to tea in small quantities is allowed. Yes, any plant has both positive and negative sides. We have already talked about many plants in this topic. And they even made tea with clover.

And, once again Bulgakov: "Do not read Soviet newspapers before lunchtime", that is, popular sites where a huge amount of information contrary to the true one, rely on books and articles written by professionals, herbalists and doctors.

I read about killer flowers. I especially liked the comments.

[paramed1]

Olga, what's wrong with lilacs, chubushnik, clover? Lilac, for example, contains hydrocyanic acid salts, but mainly in the bark, the flowers are raw, yes, it is not recommended to chew by handfuls, and after heat treatment the salts are completely neutralized. When treating with clover, one must remember about contraindications, they are. But the addition of meadow clover flowers to tea in small quantities is allowed. Yes, any plant has both positive and negative sides. We have already talked about many plants in this topic. And they even made tea with clover.

paramed1, Veronica, it's like that! Everything is fine! All in tea!

[Natusichka]

Girls, what is the best way to store dried flowers? For example, dried sunflower petals.

Natusichka, although you have already been answered, but I will grumble a little. Take a look at the recipe. There it is written about it.

[Ludmila]

And I really liked the taste of peony. I say - classic milk oolong. Only the view is not tea.

is it an ordinary peony for tea? Leaves?
We love milk oolong very much, so I want to clarify for myself.

Ludmila, last year I made mono variants from different leaves. Mom at first reacted as to another whim of mine, just a game.But she's in love with the cherries !!! (And we are in the village only in the summer, I only had time to try it a few times, until I left) So this year I will definitely make cherries and I want to try strawberries. I read the topic again, I forgot how I did it.

[GruSha]

GruSha, Gulsine, yes, normal. Only I had white and pink ones. The ones that smell. There is also an early dark red. It is odorless. I didn’t take it.
-not freezing
-meat grinder
-fermented for 8 hours
- dried with frying 150 degrees-5 minutes, then at 100-15 minutes. Then dried at 70 in the dryer.
But let me remind you. Tea is not brewed nicely. greenish with "milky" haze.

[Radushka]

Radushka, took flowers or leaves?

[MariV]

Killer Flowers

MariV, Olya, I read it with pleasure ... the comments to the article. But the article, of course, too. With some caution, as I am a complete nerd in scent. And she giggled over the comments for a long time. Regarding the question raised, I can say one thing, although I have already said it many, many times. People often ask if it is possible to make tea from this ... from this ... Exotic and little-known plants are called. My opinion on this matter does not change: "There is no need to make tea from everything that grows. There are tasty, familiar scent ... There are a lot of them. To make, do not remake tea. Make them - safe, predictable, tasty".

[GruSha]

GruSha, Gulsine, leaves. Now. I finished the brewed one in the morning. It has become even uglier in appearance and looks even more like milk oolong.

[Luda]

Luda, !

By the way, about the dry flowers of lilac and mock orange (jasmine) - dried, more than once, the benefit of these shrubs I have, like shoe polish.

No expected scent - the smell of decay.

Tried my cherry tea. As I expected, I didn't like it. The smell of cherry berries, and the taste is something of amaretto. Probably, it should be removed for a couple of months, as advised. It remains to try the plum, blackthorn and mulberry, also ready and waiting for their turn.

[YuLi]

As I expected, I didn't like it. The smell of cherry berries, and the taste is something of amaretto.

YuLi, strange ... According to the description, this tea turned out very well. What more do you want from him? Then next time just add cherries to other perfumes a little bit ...

[YuLi]

YuLi, Yulechka, it would be strange if cherry tea tasted not like cherry. No?

[lappl1]

lappl1, Radushka, I like the smell of cherries that it gives to gooseberry jam. Otherwise, I don't like cherries, and I especially don't like the smell and taste of amaretto. Although I can sometimes eat fresh or jam. I guessed that I would get exactly what I didn't like, but I had to try to find out!

[GruSha]

Lyudmila, last year I made mono variants from different leaves. Mom at first reacted as to another whim of mine, just a game. But she's in love with the cherries !!! (And we are in the village only in the summer, I only had time to try it a few times, until I left) So this year I will definitely make cherries and I want to try strawberries. I read the topic again, I forgot how I did it.

GruShaGulya, how glad I am that you are with us again! And the main thing is that you please your mother with your tea. That's right, make tea, bring yourself and your loved ones joy from healthy tea ...

[Yulia]

Yulia, Ahh remembered! I like cinnamon! (this is the taste of royal jam). Try adding to grape if available. It may very well be that the acidity of grape tea will shift the taste of cherries in the right direction. (I'll try it myself. Interesting too)

[YuLi]

I like the smell of cherries that it gives to gooseberry jam.

YuLi, Julia, then you will really like adding a couple of handfuls of cherry leaves to any tea. There will be no smell and taste, but tea from any flavor will be very ennobled.

[Radushka]

Radushka, grape next in line, have not yet done. Good advice, I'll give it a try, although I'm not sure if it's a cinnamon scent. Maybe you need to mix cherries with gooseberries? Is gooseberry tea made?
Yes, that evening I also did the mix. There were frozen leaves of cherries, plums, blackthorns and mulberries, irgi berries (which are always scarce, and they somehow always remain forgotten with us, although they have an amazing taste and aroma), as well as leaf tea made from pears, irgi, strawberries, raspberries ( I didn't like them yet), and apple leaf tea (which I liked). I rolled all the fresh leaves individually for mono teas, and set aside some for the mixture. I also scrolled berries, as in a recipe somewhere in the vastness of this topic.

Then I added loose leaf tea there (I’ll note right away that I didn’t spend everything, I left some of these teas to ripen).

Then I ran everything again, it turned out good granules, which after drying gave a very pleasant tea. The taste and color reminded me of apple, but we'll see after a while.

[YuLi]

YuLi, I used to think that they put cinnamon there (in jam).

Then I added loose leaf tea there (I’ll note right away that I didn’t spend everything, I left some of these teas to ripen).

Something I do not understand anything. What's where with what? And what kind of berries?

[YuLi]

YuLi, Julia, it is clear that we choose our tea ... Something like one, something else ... Here are many delighted with raspberries. But I like other flavors more, although I really like to do Raspberry-based with other plants.
Julia, great experience with berries. This is Natasha Koval who told us about him. Thanks her. and you, of course, too. Now many will try to make tea with fruit-berries along your beaten path. By the way, yesterday Zakhar also wrote for such tea. He made it with green apples, but according to his own, author's method.

Something I do not understand anything. What's where with what? And what kind of berries?

Then I added loose leaf tea there (I’ll note right away that I didn’t spend everything, I left some of these teas to ripen).

Everything is written above this line.

I just used up some loose leaf tea that I made recently, and I didn't like it, and it takes up a lot of space. In the future I will try to make granulated from pears, raspberries and strawberries. I do not urge anyone to repeat, this is my personal choice. I am happy with the result.

it is clear that we choose our tea ... Something like one, something else ...

I still have to try and try, I just started. At the moment I have not chosen anything, only time and experiments will show.

[GruSha]

GruShawhat beautiful peonies, my favorite color all the time I come back and look, beauty.

[Oksana]

Oksana, photo from internet, but mother's are almost the same)))

GruSha, Gulsine, leaves. Now. I finished the brewed one in the morning. It has become even uglier in appearance and looks even more like milk oolong.

it's good!!! I can't wait to try

[Gulsine]

Gulsine,

I can't wait to try

So, you need to make your own "oolong"

I will definitely do it tomorrow

[Gulsine]

Gulsine, I pulled off only the soft part of the leaves. Dry quickly.
