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

[Radushka]

Radushka, Lena Kadieva fermented carrot tops last year. I didn't like it myself, but her husband drank it with pleasure. And the cake, I think, should be well fry. Once in the program Malakhova saw one woman talking about tea made from carrot roots. She cut it into sticks and dried it in the oven at high temperature until black. Showed brewed tea. it was almost black in color.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, the baboon was also black.
And I have been freezing carrot tops for a long time. Vegetable soups are tastier with her than with root vegetables.

Leaf Grinding Tool for Leaf Tea





Author - kulibin (nickname),
Here's what he writes:

Today I picked 2 more packets of leaves, on the way I came up with a device so as not to rub the leaves with my palms, it is time consuming. I took the first 2 boards that were already sawn off in the sheds, sawed off 3 bars, also the first one that came across. I sawed the ribs with a grinder, with a thick disc for metal, after about 1 cm, half a centimeter deep, at an inclination of 45 degrees to get teeth. I nailed the bars, that's all production, it took 15-20 minutes. In time, it turned out much faster, easier and better than if I rubbed it with my palms. The leaves were rubbed easily, without prior drying, even into porridge. smile.gif Maybe someone can use this method.

Followers of this method recommend laying the leaves not in an even layer, but in piles. They say that grinding is better this way:

I have already become an ardent fan of the Kulibino machine tool. The machine allows processing of any level - from lightly dented to crushed into dust. The selection of pressing the upper "ruble" occurs for the first or second load. And - a slight subtlety - the leaves need to be laid in a bunch, and not scattered in a layer - then a sausage is immediately formed, and you roll it a little by pressing it 10-15-20 times. The leaves are whole. The effect is like manual processing, only 100 times faster and more efficient! Py. Sy. I had only a simple saw at hand - neither an electric, nor a grinder ... But it worked and it works !!!!

By the way, the principle of leaf rolling is practically the same on industrial rollers.

[Radushka]

the baboon was also black. And I have been freezing carrot tops for a long time. Vegetable soups are tastier with her than with root vegetables.

Radushka, didn’t taste either one or the other. My chickens eat tops with pleasure. We also need to move on to this useful thing. And the beet tops are good.

so it's almost like an old washboard, I don't remember what it's called correctly.

[Elya]

Elya, the author claims that he did it according to this principle. Such a washing device is called ruble... But last year we were thinking how we can do it, and the man took it and did it. And those who have repeated such a thing for themselves are very pleased.

I don’t remember whether I wrote or not, but I really liked the tea made from drupe leaves. Those who know this berry well will never confuse tea. Both aroma and taste are recognizable.

[Tanyusha]

Tanyusha, and I suspected that you were a partner .... Thank you for that!

So it was aerobatics when my mother offered me to make a report herself, like I have teas, I will send the necessary photos. Yeah, schazzzz, I don’t appropriate the work

So guys, we're on the right track ...

Luda, and where is a dash opposite the plant name? This is, I suppose, nothing recommended?

[Olga]

Olga, as I understand it, it should be looked at above ... for example, for bird cherry - "leaves and fruits".

[MariV]

and where is a dash opposite the plant name? This is, I suppose, nothing recommended?

MariV, Olya, on the contrary, everything is recommended in this plate. A dash is an indication that tea is made from the same plant parts as the previous scent above. Usually in tables this moment is indicated such a sign - a horizontal line - two vertical lines - another horizontal line... Apparently, those who published this plate could not find such lines and dashes on their computer and did not bother - they just put a dash. I also wanted to depict such a generally accepted sign, but I didn't succeed. Now I'll draw it on a piece of paper and take a picture of how it should be.



While she was answering, Natusichka answered.

[francevna]

I have carrots, dried in Isidri, I'll try to brew.

francevna, Alla, it will be tasteless from Isidri. I checked. We need to make a black carrot.

So it was aerobatics when my mother offered me to make a report herself, like I have teas, I will send the necessary photos. Yeah, schazzzz, I don’t appropriate the work

Giraffe, Tanya, and rightly so! Let my mother at least sometimes appear with us. Its appearance is always unexpected, but very informative. And always happy.

Thank you girls!

Nasturtium, marigolds, sunflower are already drying

Moreover, the petals of marigolds in tea, after brewing, remain in color, but the flowers of fireweed become ugly, gray, like a boiled mosquito. Girls, what other flowers do not lose color after boiling water? I would be grateful for a hint!

While I was in the village, I dried berries: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries. There are a lot of them this year, especially raspberries. I mixed them with tea.
Fermented forest raspberry leaves with dried raspberries.


A mix of fermented strawberry, cherry, stoneberry, fireweed and blueberry leaves with blueberries.

About the plate with dashes. Who will try to make tea from linden fruits?

About the plate with dashes. Who will try to make tea from linden fruits?

In his youth, these fruits and flowers were simply dried and brewed. The tea is excellent. When hot, yellow, beautiful, honey taste and smell. When it cools down, it is thick, like a syrup, the color is bright, in red-burgundy shades.

[paramed1]

paramed1, I also noticed this ..

Girls, tell me, can you dry berries in AG?

[niamka]

niamka, and how do you dry currants, prick them beforehand?
In the morning before work, I took 3 liters of raspberries and put them to dry (I have Isidra). The wild strawberries also dried a little. now I'm waiting for the apples.
Girls: oops: tell me about the cherry, its leaves are tough, you need to put them in the freezer, and then in the meat grinder. Do I get it right?

[kil]

kil, Irina, I haven't dried the currants yet. These are blueberries, dried for almost two days, horror. I don’t twist cherries and other flavors in a meat grinder, she doesn’t take them. After the freezer, I crumpled it, rolled it into several leaves and cut it, then put it under the oppression.

About the plate with dashes. Who will try to make tea from linden fruits?

Perhaps we are talking about flowers. The table is compiled - framed - not very ...

Lyudmila, we broke the apple tree with a hurricane about a month ago, of course I cut it all off and made tea. I tried it yesterday ..., I was not impressed at all, neither smell nor taste, well, "no one." Maybe this is the apple tree? None? And I have a lot of this, no tea, 4 kilograms, or even more, the apple tree was big ...

Lucilia, Lyudmila, do not lose their color yellow, orange and dark red, burgundy petals. In AG you can dry everything, and berries, in drying mode, 80 or 95 degrees. And apple trees - yes, they have different leaves, there are absolutely tasteless ones, they are so good in a mix for volume, but they come across with a good aroma. Earlier I wrote that I have neighboring apple trees with signs, what their leaves taste like, and the people giggled!

[niamka]

niamka, Natasha, beautiful tea! Looks better than an expensive store! Well done!

Girls tell me about cherries, her leaves are tough, you need to put them in the freezer, and then in the meat grinder. Do I get it right?

kil, Irina, now I make only 2 types of tea - fireweed with currants and fireweed with cherries. I put currant and cherry leaves in the freezer for a couple of days and twist them directly frozen with fireweed. Going great. cherry granules are very strong. And they crumble with currants anyway. but I twist 2 times and great granules come out.

About the plate with dashes. Who will try to make tea from linden fruits?

paramed1, Veronica, I pass. I don't like linden in any form, except for fresh flowers and honey from them. The benefits, of course, are huge, but dried linden (from flowers to leaves in tea) gives me a bath.

[lappl1]

lappl1, Thank you Luda /. fireweed now I do not know when I will have it, but as soon as it appears, I will definitely twist it.

[Irina]

Irina, twist any garden scent like that. Especially raspberries and currants with the addition of apple, for example. The granules will not crumble.

[Lucilia]

Lyudmila, we broke the apple tree with a hurricane about a month ago, of course I cut it all off and made tea. I tried it yesterday ..., I was not impressed at all, neither smell nor taste, well, "no one." Maybe this is the apple tree? None?

Lucilia, make an apple tree as a base in any mixes. Great tea will turn out. An apple tree will give color, and currants, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, pears, strawberries will taste.

Lyudochka, thanks, I'll try.

[Lucilia]

Lucilia, it can be infused, or can be added when brewing for color, can be mixed with other ready-made tea!

[kil]

kil, berries dry for a long time, prick? and who will prick? Well this is to be killed. I dried the berries in isidri at the maximum until they shriveled, and then switched to the minimum. But they dry for a long time. I dry on a pebble, sometimes all the time at maxi; or a night at maxi, and then on average. but stored well.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila but how to dry mint. Just like grass or together with leaves in a full cycle. Today I mowed a part of the site to which my hands never reach. And there is mint. She is apparently wild, I certainly did not put her there. The stems are dark purple and the leaves are small, and the aroma is abolished: girl-swoon:

Just dry the leaves, like medicinal plants, or twist them in a meat grinder and dry immediately.

[Loksa]

Loksa, Oksana,

berries dry for a long time, chop?

I dry the berries for several days in the oven after tea. When I turn it off, I put down the leaf with berries and leave the door open. If I turn off the oven several times a day, then several times I leave a leaf with berries there.

[Loksa]

Loksa, there are too few of them for a meat grinder. A small bunch.

Then it is better to dry it, you can shake it with your hands and dry it.

[Tata]

but how to dry mint. Just like grass or together with leaves in a full cycle.

Tata, I described in the recipe how I made the mint. And there is a photo. I took only leaves. You can ferment for 3-4 hours if you like. but I don't like fermented. And the girls like it. So, decide for yourself how to do it.

there are too few of them for a meat grinder. A small bunch.

Well, I don't even know what to do with a bouquet. Just dry on stems hanging upside down ..

Lyudmila, but not in the know, can our tea be for children under one year old?

[stanllee]

stanllee, Maryana, Ivan tea can be safely given. And pregnant too. But I'm not sure with garden scent. I will ask in the gazebo, I will send girls (doctors) here to answer.

[a device for grinding leaves for loose tea]

At night I posted info about a device for grinding leaves for loose tea... And I already have it. The husband did. Of course, it could have been done more broadly, but what to do - you cannot criticize your husband. I will test tomorrow, as the leaves are still drying.

[lappl1]

Oh yes husband! Well done! lappl1, give him "respect and respect" from us!))

Here an article was posted about substitutes for tea (we have no substitutes, however!). There is a line: apples, hawthorn and mountain ash must be fried... This refers to the fruits. What is it about, can anyone say? I have that rowan ... They reach the ground with branches, but I don't know what to do with it. Last year, the birds ate everything before the frost, in this we need to come up with something out of it while it ripens.

[Darika]

Darika, Dasha, thank you very much for such words! I gave it to my husband. Got proud

[Darika]

There is a line there: apples, hawthorn and mountain ash must be fried. This refers to the fruits. What is it about, can anyone say? I have that rowan ... They reach the ground with branches, but I don't know what to do with it. Last year, the birds ate everything before the frost, in this we need to come up with something out of it while it ripens.

Darika, if from blackberry, then a gorgeous wine is obtained. Go to Linadoc's recipes. She just posted the recipe. And if the usual red rowan, then I cooked jam last year. Unexpectedly tasty. Very helpful.
About frying ... Most likely, at a high temperature, like carrots, dry in the oven until they are very tan. I did not try. I also have enough of this stuff. We need to think about how to do it better.

[Daria]

Daria, mountain ash without languor will be bitter. You can, however, freeze it well. BUT ... I used to make wine from stewed wine. The result is an extraordinary yummy.
Tumbled in the oven with the door ajar. On the quietest fire. Then I had no other options. Now, I think, I would stand in a slow cooker on languishing mode (+80) for five or six hours.

[Radushka]

mountain ash without languor will be bitter.

Radushka, exactly! I forgot to write about it. I collected my mountain ash and kept it in the cold for a long time ... But I didn't think of making wine. But she ate the jam with pleasure. With a bitter taste. But delicious ...
