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

[Seberia]

Seberia, Lena, Ivan tea normalizes blood pressure. High - lowers (many have written about this), but does not lower low. No one has ever complained.

Phew, well, fine, I thought she was confusing something

I take a few leaves of an apple tree, raspberry, plum, again an apple tree, etc.

and I do the same with garden ones.

By the way, about the effect of teas. Nobody noticed the diuretic properties of pear? Or is it just me, or coincided?

Nobody noticed the diuretic properties of pear? Or is it just me, or coincided?

And not only from the pear ... Nothing, this is improving the functions ... then everything will pass.

I brewed yesterday's tea, I didn't expect what would happen
so delicious. I thought that grapes would give sourness, but there is none at all. I'll put in a photo tomorrow.

[francevna]

francevna, Allochka, what granules! And the tea color is very good!

[Lyudochka]

Lyudochka, I myself was surprised at such a dark color of tea, the granules are very dense, the "tea spirit" is sooo fragrant.
I dry two baking sheets in the oven at once, change their places (top-bottom) twice without stirring, then shake, as the granules begin to move freely, check for moisture. Dried in Isidri. From 3kg of raw materials after freezing, 970g of tea was obtained.
Raspberry-grape-apple / pear -50% -40% -10%

[Allochka]

Allochka, this pear and apple tree gave color, and raspberries and grapes - taste and aroma. Cool mix!

In the morning I worked on grapes and an apple. I tried to do, as they wrote here - alternate grape leaves with apple leaves and roll them into rolls. These greens did not want to curl! Not as someone here said - how to squeeze the laundry, or roll it in your hands, and that's it. She twirled a small saucepan, putting it tightly so that they would hold each other. For the remaining raw materials, there was no longer enough strength to create such a thing. Then I took the meat grinder. Since they have to mutually soak in the mix, I first twisted a handful of apples, a leaf of grapes, and so on. Then she thought about it and began to wrap a handful of apples in grape and twist it like that. The child helped, thanks, he was already screwing it up, and I cut off the tails with apple tails and slipped the hardwood blanks into the meat grinder. I ran the rest of the grapes separately. Now three different containers are fermented and this season of tea making is closed for me ... In the morning I dried black currants, now I am finishing the berries. What's the best way to keep them separate from each other or can you mix them?

[Anna]

Anna, did the right thing when I twisted it into a grape apple tree and when I put it in handfuls in turn.

And I tried tea, which contains raspberries (also twisted through a meat grinder and fermented together with other leaves), it is quite noticeably sour ... I will add it to other mixtures a little.

I trudge from her sourness).

[Anna]

Anna, did the right thing when I twisted it into a grape apple tree and when I put it in handfuls in turn.

By the evening I'll try what happened, and even if the fresh one doesn't taste good, I'll let it stand. Gentlemen, it just dawned on me that I would have to dry three different types, this is when I go to sleep ?! Probably, I will still mix currants with dried berries, there are not many of them, it is unlikely to be worse.

I trudge from her sourness).

Yes, sometimes you want sourness. It seems to me that those who love karkade will be delighted with this tea.

And today I am making tea for my sister-in-law under the order (Thank God for the pregnant) - apple tree + pear currant ++ blackberry + strawberry + goof (40/20/20/10/5/5), we are preparing for childbirth. With this line-up, everything will be OK. I do it, as usual, according to Zakhar. Already a soooo scent!

Already a soooo scent!

And for some reason my tea doesn't smell

And for me, for some reason, they only smell in containers and before brewing, except for black currants. Currant turned out to be a force! And I, forgetting that I had finished the tea-making season, ran to pick the remnants of the leaves on our bush, and later I will come back to the neighbors!

Hello everybody! I've been away for a week, and you've already done so much! I even contrived to pull a little ivanushka on the excursion. Quite a bit, but when I get back I'll add it to the mix. I don’t know how I’ll take it. Withered. And then it froze. I'll wrap it up in towels and I'll take it. For about a day, my ice cream Ivanushka will have to go in towels. Well, what will be will be. I ate mountain blackberries. Of course, no comparison with garden hybrids. It's clear why the garden tea didn't impress me. Forest - candy!

[About the plum.]

About the plum.
I did it. Good tea, fragrant. There is turbidity (in the sheet), but my cherry gave turbidity too. Yes, and a little of this dregs, and it quickly settles to the bottom of the teapot

And she - no, no, the pressure decreases from Ivan-tea, she, they say, cannot have it.
Have you noticed such properties in our seagull?

Doesn't go down. As a hypotonic with crises I speak.
However, there may be such a thing.
If a friend's "working" (her) pressure is low, and she "normalizes" it with strong tea or coffee, then the vessels are constantly artificially toned. In this case, the fireweed will "release" the vessels, which will be perceived by a friend as discomfort. However, constantly walking with "swirling" vessels is fraught. Sooner or later, they'll give out the mean

[Irina]

Irina, did you have the aroma in the plum over time, or was it in the freshly dried one too? I have a tea maker at home that can brew delicious even third-rate teas. It’s extremely interesting what she’ll do with the teas I made.

when the tea sok - it smelled delicious
when dried, the smell is weakened
in the brew again appeared
it smelled specifically plum, I would say - plum liqueur or jam
and the leaf was collected from an adult yellow plum and from a blue
blue seemed to be more fragrant, but both smelled good
P. S. made large-leaf

[Tigger Striped]

Tigger Striped,
I also want a good tea maker

[Linadoc]

And today I am making tea for my sister-in-law under the order (Thank God for the pregnant) - apple tree + pear currant ++ blackberry + strawberry + goof (40/20/20/10/5/5), we are preparing for childbirth. With this line-up, everything will be OK. I do it, as usual, according to Zakhar. Already a soooo scent!

Linadoc, Linochka, well, you know what is needed in each specific case, so I'm very happy for your ward!

And for some reason my tea doesn't smell

Lightat what stage do they not smell? Does it smell when you dry it? If the dried tea does not smell, then this is normal. Then he will work up the aroma if the jar is tightly closed.

And for me, for some reason, they only smell in containers and before brewing, except for black currants.

Tigger Striped, so you try to brew tea at home in your teapot, you will immediately feel the aroma. It seems to me that the conditions for brewing tea are violated - either the water is very hard, or the kettle is not suitable. Here I have such hard water in the village that even if you crack it, the tea turns out to be non-aromatic if you brew this water. And if I brew with melt water, or water from a monastery (we take sometimes - there is cool water), then the aroma of brewed tea is awesome. So, and this may be the reason.

Hello everybody! I was gone for a week

Radushka, honey, hello! And we already managed to miss you. But it's good that you rested, I took Ivanushka, I ate the forest blackberry ... I think that everything will be fine with your Ivanushka!

About plum ....
Doesn't go down. As a hypotonic with crises I speak.
However, there may be such a thing.

IvaNova, Irina, thank you very much for such valuable comments!

when the tea sok - it smelled delicious .. in the dried one the smell weakened .. in the brewed it again appeared

Absolutely correct observation! With the right tea it should be!

I also want a good tea maker

Divnay, Ira, and I really want to! Let's want together!

[lappl1]

lappl1, the water is terrible here, yes. We take from the well, into which the children threw bricks up to a heap last year, so it is also rusty. I will bring flints to St. Petersburg, I will clean the water as much as I can, and the tea maker really improves the quality of tea and makes life easier.

[lappl1]

lappl1,
Let's :) You just need to find out the model, otherwise you will have to want it for a long time. I saw that there was already a conversation about tea makers, but either I forgot to write down the names of the models, I don’t remember (((. I generally read the blog with a notebook, I write down useful things for myself.

🔗
I have such a tea maker. It looks similar to Darth Vader's helmet, but works great. While I go in for sports in the morning, she makes tea and then they will keep the ready tea hot for another hour.

Svetiashka, at what stage do they not smell? Does it smell when you dry it?

When they fermented, when they dry, the apple smelled, and the mixture smelled like something incomprehensible (grass or something).

[Divnay]

Let's just need to find out the model, otherwise you will have to want it for a long time. I saw that there was already a conversation about tea makers, but either I forgot to write down the names of the models, I don't remember (((.

Divnay, Ira, I can't buy it yet. Later. But Anya's model was also written down in her notebook. Thank you, Anya!

[Tigger Striped]

Tigger Striped,
Thank you, let's go back to the city and look for it. I brew tea in a thermos or in a jar, but I noticed an oddity that some teas taste better in a regular jar and there is less turbidity.

[Irina]

I brew tea in a thermos or in a jar, but I noticed an oddity that some teas taste better in a regular jar and there is less turbidity.

Irina, so I also brew in a thermos or a liter mug, although there are about 10 teapots. but in unsuitable devices it is best to brew.

Everyone is welcome. Here, and here it is written everywhere - to brew like ordinary tea. Ordinary I would never brew in a thermos, not even pu-erh. Before the appearance of the tea maker, I set the timer for 4-5 minutes and rushed at his signal to remove the teapot from the kettle. The tea maker does everything herself, fills in, maintains the time set on it and drains. And the time there can be set from 2 minutes to 12, so if our teas need to be brewed more abruptly, I will set 12.

[Tigger Striped]

Tigger Striped, and what other functions does it have, besides brewing tea? After all, our people will definitely adapt for something else!

[Tigger Striped]

t, and here it is written everywhere - to brew like ordinary tea. Ordinary I would never brew in a thermos, not even pu-erh.

Tigger Striped, the right teas and pu-erhs are not brewed in the wrong teapots that fill up shops. I did not write in the recipe what should be brewed in thermoses and jars. I just shared my problem in the comments. Well, I don't have the right Chinese teapot and tea maker. The correct kettle is like a good bread maker. Yes, and you need to take it from China. So you have to get out. And persuading to buy a tea maker is also useless - I have been persuaded for a long time, but I have no time for a tea maker yet ...

[lappl1]

lappl1, I do not persuade. I myself was not sure that I needed it when I had an abundance of other teapots. But I bought it and use it many times every day. I even brew green in it, although it is really not adapted for this.
Elena, I don't even know what else the chavarka can be adapted for. Everything is quite simple there: water is boiled in the upper section, then it is poured into the middle section with the poured tea, the set time is kept and the already brewed tea is poured into the lower teapot. And from the bottom you pour and drink. Surely this way you can brew all kinds of herbs, and maybe rose hips ...But everything that a tea maker can do in terms of boiling, maybe a multicooker, I would use cartoons and the steaming function for all my experiments.

Girls boys! What do you think - how long is it better to ferment a mix of raspberries (400) + apple (300) + ivanchai (140)? Twisted twice in a meat grinder.

[Radushka]

Radushka, be guided by your favorite raspberry. Her most. And for an apple tree with Ivan-tea, it is also suitable!

[lappl1]

lappl1, Lyudochka, good day! (Or whatever you have). Ivanushka on the train swung open in a day. True, not at all like the one that was sent to me in the parcel. Nice, but ... the smell is different. I would say ... dark. If you know what I mean.

[Radushka]

Radushka, hi! It may well be that with Ivanushka! He is "old" now, so it smells different! Or maybe his conditions were different this time.

I do not twist the whole apple tree at once, but I take several leaves of an apple tree, raspberry, plum, again an apple tree, etc.
but did you try to mix and scroll everyone? so it seems more convenient and it will be called a mix (I knead them in a basin, scroll twice, there are no complaints about the granules).

did not try to mix and scroll all

I mix and twist everything twice. It's okay.

Today's tea (raspberry + apple + pear in equal proportions) was simply shaking. For the sake of such tea it was worth pantyhose from June It's a pity that the weight is no more than 300-400 grams. I do it in small batches. A wild pear grows not far from our summer cottage, and this tree has been a supplier of pear leaves for all three months. The tree is one, but the tea is different every time.

As I brew tea, I suggest remembering pictures from past centuries. How did you drink tea? samovar, and where is the teapot? Or on a samovar or on a table, but covered with a wrapper - more often in the form of a chicken))
It is incorrect to compare the brewing of a tea tree leaf and our national drink - these are products that are different in composition.

Therefore, in the case of a thermos, the tea turns out even better)), when I have time to follow, I put an ordinary teapot on a small fire with a divider, for 5-7 minutes. In the absence of time, I throw on a towel, but I should stand for at least 10 minutes.

In this case, all substances that give strength and color are released into the tea.

I do not twist the whole apple tree at once, but I take several leaves of an apple tree, raspberry, plum, again an apple tree, etc.
but did you try to mix and scroll everyone? so it seems more convenient and it will be called a mix (I knead them in a basin, I scroll twice, there are no complaints about the granules).

I did this and so with an apple tree and grapes. And in turn, and wrapping the apple tree in grapes. Until I check out the results, I'll go back to St. Petersburg - check it out.

iriska3420, at the beginning of the season, someone (I don't remember who anymore) tried to convince us that autumn leaves are tasteless and tea made from them will be the same. I tried to answer that the tea tastes better from late leaves, but I did not convince my interlocutor. Autumn has come and you have confirmed that tea tastes better from late summer leaves than from young ones. Can you imagine how happy I am about that?

Compare the brewing of a tea tree leaf and our national drink incorrect- these are products of different composition.

Mary Poppins, we would have appropriate education (biochemical), maybe we answered questions more professionally. Although with what else can we compare, if not with traditional tea? There are no other comparisons.
Although I, like you, constantly write in the comments that I prefer tea brewed in a thermos rather than in a teapot ..

[iriska3420]

iriska3420, exactly! I also like this mix very, very much! Only I put more raspberries. 50% of the total weight of the leaves.Well, I have the most of it and it itself is very tasty. And I also put in just a little cherry. Literally up to 50 grams per 1 kg of other leaves. But, the cherry is still heard quite strongly.

I prefer tea brewed in a thermos rather than in a teapot ..

And we all do not. Most of all ... in the most ordinary, earthenware (domestic, in general, a local factory). I put a towel on top. I'll finish with the leaves, sew a "lady" -heater.
Last night I finished drying the apple-raspberry-ivanushka mix. The photo will probably come later.
The tea is delicious. Excellent color even after the second brew. I think I should have taken even more raspberries-apple trees. Ivanushka tastes strong. Almost as strong as a cherry. We like it more when tastes merge into a general range without the predominance of any one.
By the way, Lyudochka, among my ivanchay leaves there were flowers and pink tops and fluffy tubes.
And my Ivanushka, who grows in the village on a tinsel, was eaten by a neighbor's heifer. Thank God, she did not pull out and trample, as they usually do. I just pinched off the tops. I talked to a neighbor. After the sanitary pruning of apple trees, I laid branches for the "planting". Hope it helps.

I'm just all on emotions! Yesterday I made Chinese quince, as it quickly dried up. Probably set the temperature higher. Now on dry fermentation. Then, as the quince ripens, I want to add dried quince slices. Before that I made tea from strawberries (the smell was great) and from Antonovka. then, as the apples ripen, I'll dry the skins from Antonovka there. She's sour now. These two tea bags are in dry fermentation now, I have not tried them yet. I also prepared a blackberry, raspberry, cherry and blackberry. I made raspberries 2 times. The first time in a meat grinder through a large cell, but from some it looks more like a powder. I decided to do it by twisting a second time. It turned out what you need. Now in turn pear, irga, lemongrass, lemon balm and mint. There is also Chasselas Muscat grapes - it has a pronounced taste of Muscat. Probably I will try to make tea from it. Hands are itching straight. I already think that it was possible to drink tea from the store at all.

And who made tea from dogwood? I forgot about the dogwood.

The question is about raspberries. Now, from the leaves from the shoots that gave the harvest this year, can you make tea?
