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

So we rehabilitate sea buckthorn. And I followed the link from the first page - they don't recommend it.
Irina, please tell us how you did it.

Having read about the benefits of sea buckthorn in the summer, I finely cut 2-3-5 leaves and put them in a salad. The taste is neutral.

[IvaNova]

IvaNova, Irina, the leaves of the silver loch are similar to the leaves of the sea buckthorn. I did a sheet last year, we all really like it. I wash all the leaves so that there is no dust and pollen, I wither, I freeze. Fermentation went well. It is a pity that there is nowhere to take sea buckthorn leaves, I want to make fermented tea.

[Alla]

Alla, but I did not like the goof-mono. In a mix with cherries, it is also not so ... I mixed all the mono teas, which are "none", added cherries there and we drink ourselves. We treat our guests to others.

[Radushka]

Radushka, I collected the leaves when there was still color on one tree, and on the other there were already tiny fruits, one on the bank of the river, and the other in the meadow. the aroma was gentle around, so I decided to collect the leaves. Tea with the same aroma. A friend comes and always asks to brew a sucker, I add it to other teas, I do not brew it separately. Everyone has different tastes, everyone must decide for himself what he likes.

Irina, please tell us how you did it.

Collected / washed / dried (I wash all the leaves, I can’t do otherwise).
I didn’t know about wilting last year, so I didn’t.
I froze it in the refrigerator. I twisted it with "springs" (I don't make granulated tea, only leaf tea). Fermented under load, dried in the oven, dried in a pillowcase in a draft.
I don't remember the time of fermentation. Hours 4-6 most likely.
Next time I'll make sea buckthorn "according to Zechariah." Maybe it will turn out worthwhile

PS raised last year's records. The color was good and the smell and taste were weak. Sorry for the sclerotic misinformation
I found a photo last year

[lily_a]

lily_aLast year I added mountain ash, viburnum, and cr leaves to the Village. currants, well, purely for the mass, and you have both raspberries and cherries, so there will be wonderful teas, do it. I am a fan of cherries and currants.

Irina please tell us how you did it

I dried the sea buckthorn leaves in a pet bag for a day, passed it through a meat grinder and fermented it in a pet bag on a heating pad (it was cool then) for about 4-6 hours (more precisely, I don’t remember because I can smell it with my nose). Dried in a dryer 70 degrees. I aired a week and let me lie down for a month and a half. Mustache!

In the first post (on the first page of the topic), look for the link "Method of hardening leaves in preparation for fermentation - alternate freezing and thawing of leaves (Zakhariy) 1 (pear), 2 (cherry and apple)"
Or see Reply # 12013 on page 601 and Reply # 13108 on page 656.
I can't insert a link to a message, sorry

Thank you!

Thank you!

Another question! when withering, some of the leaves have dried up, now in the refrigerator. To wet? Or dilute raw (through a meat grinder)? Or just consume it like green tea?

It’s a pity that I overwhelmed, put it in the refrigerator, preferably in the freezer. And those, raw, must also be wilted!
In general, the girls moistened the dry ones, but I don't remember on which page they wrote.

Good evening everyone! Who made dogwood leaves tea? I came from the sea, there, at the waterfalls, I could not resist picking up leaves, wilted, froze, 12 hours on the way back we sweated, now it's freezing again. How next?

[Vasyutka]

Vasyutka, is this a barberry or his relatives? I really liked with barberry. Spun in my own dust, but the taste is mmmmmm.

[Divnay]

Divnay, Irina, dogwood and barberry are alike. I think it will be delicious.

She promised to show a photo of her teas. Husband today in the social. networks to all my friends posted our blanks, stole photos from the page (this is faster), that is, this is the main shelf.At first they were in glass jars, but this took up all the shelves in the kitchen (although my set is far from small), I had to buy a layer. containers. On the shelf there are 20 cans of 2 liters each and 10 cans of 1 liter each, the rest remained in different containers, some of them made of jam or honey. We've also drunk a lot already, I think it won't be enough with such absorption until spring. : cray I came to the conclusion that tea from August-September leaves is more pleasant, more saturated. We will then be engaged in Ivanushka until August, and then gardening, only the currants will need to be frozen earlier, the trouble is, the leaves are covered with rust points on the inside of the leaf.

[Divnay]

Divnay, Irina, stocks are good.
Granular or leaf tea?

[francevna]

francevna, Alla, almost all granular. Of course, it was hard to twist the cans by hand, but the result is pleasing.

Hello dear tea makers! Sucked me in full, it seems. As soon as I saw this master class, I began to cut off everything in my garden and at the neighbors'. ... I have already made black currants, raspberries, cherries, strawberries, plums, rose hips, blackberries, apple trees. Most of it is leafy. I didn't like it very much at the meat grinder, because the smell of metal is felt, and it interrupts the aroma of the tea itself. Did someone have the same?

And further. After final drying, the granules are odorless. And leaf tea has a rather strong smell even after hanging over the stove for a week (i.e. air drying does not reduce the aroma of dry tea). Please tell me, dear masters, is this normal? Nothing will happen to such a fragrant tea during storage?

[tat23]

tat23, Tatyana, welcome to tea themes. There is a new addition to the family of tea makers, we are very glad to new ones.

Sucked me in full, it seems. As soon as I saw this master class, I began to cut off everything in my garden and at the neighbors'

We are all like that. I can't even imagine how we used to live without our tea.
I have always had a fragrant loose leaf tea, I keep it in glass jars with screw lids. Shelf life is already a year, the tea is excellent.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, my granulated tea has no metal smell. After drying, it should not smell, so you do everything right, the aroma will appear later.

Hello tea lovers, a special bow to the tea guru I have a question - Is it possible to store tea directly in the bags in which it was dried on the street?

[Natalie]

Natalie, do not be in bags. The container must be sealed, moisture and light proof.
In a transparent container, it is stored in a cabinet, box.

Ready tea is stored hermetically sealed in glass jars with plastic lids, in disposable plastic containers, in birch bark or metal boxes in a dark dry place.

Alla, thanks for answering. Calmed down. ... Will wait.

I want to report on STEAMED SILKWOOD tea made according to Zacharias recipe.

Can you link to this method?)

[Iren1706]

Iren1706, I think this method https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=389380.0

Can you link to this method?)

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=389380.0

Zakhar, give the same link in Ivan-tea, they are also interested there

[Zachary]

ZacharyExcuse me, you sent people to the wrong place. Good thing I fixed it!

[Radushka]

I very much respect sea buckthorn itself. Also before the leaves were dried without fermentation. And I liked this "tea".

Radushka, and for good reason. Here's what information I found about tea made from sea buckthorn leaves. True, I understand that here they write about just dried leaves, without fermentation.

We made sure that sea buckthorn berries are not only tasty, but also healthy. However, few people know that the leaves of sea buckthorn have beneficial properties. Moreover, these properties in some parameters surpass the therapeutic effectiveness of the sea buckthorn itself.

So, the leaves of the plant contain a lot of tannin, which has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. Beats all records and saturation of leaves with vitamin C. Leaves are rich in serotonin, which supports the nervous system, strengthens the immune system and eliminates cramps.

Tea made from sea buckthorn leaves cures hypertension, coronary heart disease, pneumonia, dermatitis, diabetes mellitus, pleurisy, atherosclerosis. It helps with any ARVI rinsing the mouth and throat with a decoction of dry leaves. Plant compresses are excellent for arthritis.And recent studies by American doctors have proven that tincture of sea buckthorn leaves can be used to treat liver diseases and oncology.

It is important that neither the taste nor the color of sea buckthorn tea is practically the same as green tea. Leaves can be brewed fresh or dried.

[nila]

nila, Nelya, probably the body intuitively knows what it needs. I drank a lot of tea from sea buckthorn leaves. My husband and I liked this tea, and we are lovers of green tea.

So I am now wondering where to get the leaves of the sea buckthorn. I know a couple of bushes, they grow on the street, but just near the road.

[Nelya]

Nelya, it is better to be without tea than to collect leaves near the track.

Yes, I know, that's why I'm in no hurry there. Hope to find it somewhere else. I really want to prepare such a healthy tea.

Thank you)

[Zachary]

ZacharyExcuse me, you sent people to the wrong place. Good thing I fixed it!

Thanks anyway!)

[Nelya]

Nelya, sorry, Zaporozhye is far from Kharkov! We have sea buckthorn ... like shoe polish. A friend has a wild lot around the dacha village!

Girls, tell me where about the fermented viburnum leaves there, otherwise no one votes for her. Is it really that sad? It seems like a bush and berries are good and healthy

[Lyoshka]

Lyoshka, a few pages ago the girls shared their impressions. The smell is painful for her peculiar, it contains valeric acid, both in berries and in leaves when dried. Try it if you like. For example, I do not eat it in any form, and my husband can eat by handfuls of berries, but he cannot. When the leaves are dried, the smell increases.

[paramed1]

paramed1, Okay, you need to try, otherwise we collect berries for the winter. Now the leaf has become red, and it's worth freezing a couple of times, maybe the extra bitterness will go away

Today I added the last leaves to the village viburnum ...

And I made apple-pear-blackberry-goof-blackberry-barberry. Now I pour over the jars.

Do you change the direction of the route?

Is the landing strip ready? I made tea from raspberry leaves, they were frozen, but still almost everything was crumbled. Spun in a meat grinder 2 times. The aroma is not strong, but I liked it, as well as the color and taste too. I hope it will be even better.

[natushka]

natushka, I made ai out of raspberry leaves (AI) In Japanese, AI is one of the manifestations of love. Why can't the crimson leaves be cranked normally, is it really crumbling for everyone? Something needs to be figured out

[Lyoshka]

In Japanese, AI is one of the manifestations of love

Lyoshka, I'll know

Twist with Ivan tea, with strawberry leaves, apple-trees, with those that do not crumble.

[Elena]

Twist with Ivan-tea, with strawberry, apple-tree leaves

Elena, yes, so normal granules are obtained, I just wanted to try mono raspberry.

I think it depends on the state of the sheet. I have large, fleshy, watering raspberries. Maybe that's why the granules are obtained. But I never twist frozen raspberries, but make them by sweating. I take the package out of the freezer and let it warm up for 12 to 24 hours. Depends on the number of leaves in the bag, on the room temperature, on the density of the leaves. I open the bag when the color of the leaves completely changes and a strong fruity aroma is felt through the bag.

[francevna]

francevna, Yes, I imagined something like this, I wanted to make a mono-raspberry - I typed red leaves

This year I have forest raspberries, young tender leaves, rolled in granules, double twisting without freezing. Last year I did it from harder leaves, mono crumbled. This year I will also try to add a little bit of berries to the raspberries, I have a remontant one, or apples. After withering, I rolled it tightly into a roll and left it in a tightly tied bag overnight. And the granules turned out.
