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

The best is essential oil, then fresh raw material, then dried up with a great lag.

We sat down to make tea. (My husband twisted it in a meat grinder), my business is to ferment and dry. I didn't dry it, the smell was fruity.
We drink with my husband at will, the very first. I liked the treat to the neighbor, we will also process the leaves for her, she prepared it.

And I bought rosemary, lavender and lemon thyme in pots.

Now I just finished the cherry + apricot. After freezing, chopped in a blender bowl, looking like a medium leaf. Fermented first in a yogurt maker, then in a multiv (it is better in it). I smelled and smelled everything, was afraid to lose the smell, it took about 7 hours. Then, on a baking sheet in an electromini, I put the oven at T 125 with the upper + lower shades, for about an hour and a half. Then T. 100 minutes 15. Feel dry, but not overdried. It looks beautiful - a color from dark to green. The smell is neither apricot nor cherry. Maybe later it will appear when it ripens.

Maybe then it will appear when it ripens.

After 2 weeks, the cherry smell will begin to appear. After a month, you can drink tea.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Linochka, can I have a question not for tea? Probably better in PM?

[elena kadiewa]

yes, we are all here, these ... silkworms

elena kadiewa, Lena, nope ... We are larger The quality of the impact is more locust An hour - and the trunks are bare

[Linadoc]

I can write in descending order: rosemary, lemon balm, mint, lavender.

Linadoc, Lina, thanks for the valuable information! Very interesting! I never knew about the action of rosemary either.
We need to buy some oil. Only if you add it to tea, you need to be sure of the quality. Where can you find high-quality essential oils now?

[Marinochka]

then in the cartoon (it is better in it)

Marinochka, tell me in more detail how to ferment in a cartoon? With what layer do you need to fill the load? What t-ru to put the cartoon on? Otherwise, I have raspberry leaves in the freezer and I just won't dare to go to the next stage

how to ferment in a cartoon? With what layer do you need to fill the load? What t-ru to put the cartoon on? Otherwise, I have raspberry leaves in the freezer and I just won't dare to go to the next stage

What is the temperature at home now?
about 800 grams of twisted leaves per MV are fermented normally. If it is cold at home now, then it is better to turn on the heating or yoghurt in the mult for just a few minutes (depending on the power). If the house is warm, then we do not turn on anything, but simply pour in and leave to ferment ...
now I will show pictures or links as I did

tea mix
mono apricot with berry
mono raspberry with berry
mono apple
fermented in different multicooker - look - everything is there with detailed photos

[Anyuta]

Anyuta, twisted on a fine lattice (another netti ...) raspberry leaves are already in Dexico.

Anyuta, raspberry leaves twisted on a fine grate (another netuti ...) are already in Deksika.

hurray hurray ... now watch the smell ... in 3-4 hours it will already manifest itself strongly (depending on the temperature in the room)

Girls, hello! They promise frost and snow, so I rushed to pick the leaves. I collected an apple, raspberry, apricot, cherry and strawberry. Everything is already dry. What will I do with everything? Freezer chock-full. Probably have to do it without freezing. It's a shame!
Question about strawberries: I have it all overgrown with a mustache. All summer I didn't get to work it out. Now until spring.She pulled mostly leaves from a mustache (at the same time fry and thinned out-weeded), she is medium-sized, young, soft, like in May. And then I thought, probably tea from them is WORSE than from the old ones? Maybe it's better to tear the old ones? Who knows? Who has tried all the options? Which ones are better to vomit (while there is still time)?

Guzel, tea from young leaves will taste softer and lighter. Rip all sorts, it will still be delicious!

Linochka, can I have a question not for tea? Probably better in PM?

Girls, tell me whether to make tea from 500 g of raw materials or this is not enough. Raspberries - 225 g, pears 375 g, but they are with twigs. I will cut them off. I collected all the raspberries, and the pear has terrible leaves - stained. Or can you take these?

the pear has terrible leaves - stained. Or can you take these?

You can, I took it. This did not affect the taste in any way.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Lina, thanks! I watch such horror films, but I still have to kick it. I cut off the branches - there are very few leaves on the sticks.

Hi I'm Polish, I really like collecting herbs. This year I started making fermented tea. The first was with bergenii (badana).
Tightly curled leaves, wilted. Then I put the jar and hammered tight.


After 2 days I opened the door, it was beautiful, the heady aroma of flowers and fruits


I read on your forum about mixing in the fermentation process, but failed. The next list is when I opened the jar and mixed, moldy. My jar is closed during fermentation, it gets in the middle of a lower pressure.

Now I am doing the fermentation of the chokeberry leaves the soil in the grinder. After 24 hours, odorless. The temperature is about 20 ° C.

[oheina - theina,]

In tea from garden plants there is no so-called tea koheina - theina, which has a stimulating effect.

Theine (caffeine) affects the work of internal organs through the brain, stimulating the corresponding areas.
Raspberry tea acts directly on the organs through the "corporeal" brain (in the solar plexus), it ensures the work of individual organs, and the body as a whole, in an autonomous mode, that is, independent of the brain.

good evening girls!

Fermented for about 8 hours. Although, it seems to me that 6-6.5 hours would already be enough

it's in the cartoon ...

Anyuta, was it on you all this time?

oh, in another post I read it - only 15 minutes ... right?

Tea made from raspberry leaves and grapes is very successful. Also, I wander it in a closed jar approx. 20 hours.


After drying it was dark, delicious.

[Alina]

Alina, congratulations on your first tea.
I'm glad it worked out.
Fermentation can be reduced. As soon as you feel a delicious aroma, you can dry the tea.

[Alina]

Alina, do not ferment for so long. Garden plants need to wither longer and can be frozen and thawed several times, twisted in a meat grinder, and then fermented for 1.5-3 hours. At most 5-6 hours, but the aroma is already gone.

Theine (caffeine) affects the functioning of internal organs through the brain

vlekwhere did you get this? This is not true. Caffeine - like all bioactive substances, begins to be absorbed into the bloodstream already in the oral cavity, then in the stomach and then in the intestines. Acts immediately in tissues at the cellular level. In the mechanism of action of caffeine, a significant role is played by its inhibitory effect on the enzyme phosphodiesterase, which leads to the intracellular accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Under the influence of cyclic AMP, glycogenolysis processes are enhanced, metabolic processes in various organs and tissues are stimulated, including in muscle tissue and in the central nervous system. Affects the cardiovascular system: increases strength and heart rate, increases blood pressure during hypotension (does not change normal). Expands the bronchi, bile ducts, blood vessels of skeletal muscles, heart, kidneys. Reduces platelet aggregation. It has a moderate diuretic effect. Stimulates the secretion of the stomach glands.Coffee contains only trace amounts of theophylline and no theobromine at all, while tea contains noticeable amounts of these stimulants. Theobromine is practically inactive as a stimulant; it acts approximately 10 times weaker than caffeine. A large-scale study found fewer suicides among tea drinkers compared to those who abstain from it. A survey of nearly 130,000 Northern California residents and records of 4,500 deaths found no other link between coffee, tea and mortality. No association was found between coffee and tea consumption and the risk of death. There was a "weak" correlation between daily coffee or tea consumption and the risk of heart attack - but no association with other cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension or heart attack.

Francevna, Linadoc, after 8 hours until I smell, the next day
Aronia leaves do not smell after 20 hours of grinding in a meat grinder.

[Linadoc]

At most 5-6 hours, but the aroma is already gone.

Linadoc, Lina, probably still depends on the temperature in the room? I fermented before 3-4 hours, somehow it didn't smell
Now I leave it overnight, the smell is stronger and we like the tea itself with a long fermentation. But it's cool at home. True, I freeze the leaves once.

good evening girls! it's in the cartoon ...

Anyuta, was it on you all this time?

oh, in another post I read it - only 15 minutes ... right?

That's right - no more than 10-15 minutes, depending on the power of the multi and the temperature in the room.

[Alina]

Alina, my chokeberry smelled very strong after 3 hours! There is something wrong with your fermentation. Maybe the room is chilly? Try to do exactly as the recipe says on the first page. If it's cold, wrap it up.

[Alina]

Alina, Hello! Dry 1 part of the tea after 6 hours and the rest as usual. Compare, I'm cold and I ferment for 6 hours. Good luck. And badan is obtained only in nature
I must try in a multicooker, I missed this method* Anyuta *, Thank you!

[Oksana]

Oksana, I got a badan by repeated freezing and thawing. MULTIPLE! The taste and aroma are the same as from the "snowy" leaves.

[Radushka]

Radushka, Well done! And how many times? I did not suffer, the frost is over (there is no big freezer)

[Oksana]

Oksana, I think, ten times. I didn't. She took out leaves for tea and got it out. And then put it back to freeze. It will be seen. At first it remained green, and then it turned brown and a strong smell appeared ... specific.

[Radushka]

Radushka,

got out. And then put it back to freeze.

How long will it take to return to the freezer?

[Marusya]

Marusya, he knows ... the same day. As I remembered ...

As it thaws, back into the freezer.

I jumped with green and red berry leaves in the summer. Freezer, etc. I didn't like the tea, I threw it away yesterday. From light brown and black - it turned out great!

[Olga]

Olgaso I finally got them brown! (well, they themselves surrendered to the mercy of the winner)

What for? I collected mine in spring and autumn, a week ago.

Biennial leaves are light brown in color,

older - dark, with black spots. The ripe leaf has a characteristic odor, pungent, spicy, with slight coniferous notes, in contrast to green and red.

I washed each leaf under running water, cut off the stalks, dried them on a paper towel.

Lay the leaves on top of each other - 2-3 pcs.

and curled up with a cigar, tightly.


Then I cut it thinly with scissors


3-4 minutes in a pizza maker on a Teflon sheet


Drying in a conventional, simple dryer.



I really like this Mongolian (Chigir) tea!

When I tried to make from unripe leaves, the sleeve crumbled in a meat grinder, twice. It's a shame! True, she did not twist mature leaves either, it is better to twist cigars and cut with scissors.

What for?

And I don't have as many leaves in the spring as I want.

[Radushka]

Radushka, And in the fall? Look carefully, I accidentally discovered mine the other day.

[Olga]

Olga, yes I have a small bush! I thought I could divide and plant in the shade, so there is even nothing to share.

[Radushka]

Radushka, so, probably something else is growing? According to some sources, unripe leaves of bergenia are generally not useful. Are such exercises with green leaves worth it? Well, really, everyone decides for himself.

[MariV]

MariV, thanks for the photo of the process! If I have time, I will look under my bushes.

Oksana, there should be - maybe in the ground, but it's not scary - to wash, and fsё!

I also rolled raspberries with pears and blackberries the day before yesterday

This morning I put a jar of chokeberry in the oven when heated, and it turned out to have a very light cherry aroma.
I don't like hazelnut leaf tea. Granules overgrowth, no odor, bitter taste, tart.

[hiacynta]

hiacynta, Alina, did not understand))
Well, right now, it's another matter, otherwise we are somehow not very Polish in Polish)).
Yes, blackberry has a slight cherry flavor).

[Alina]

Alina, also did not understand anything. Did you ferment in the oven or what?

Raduszka, heated only slightly and left in a warm place


My suggestion is herbal tea consisting of nettle, rowan and hibiscus. Up to a few rose hips.
Hibiscus with nettle and rose hips complement each other perfectly. Nettle contains a large amount of iron, which is readily absorbed in the presence of vitamin C, and this includes hibiscus and rose hips.

Rowan also contains high amounts of vitamin C, about the same as citrus fruits) and additional beta-caroti.
This tea is beneficial for kidney, liver and rheumatic diseases. He also claims resistance to disease.

Have any of you made granulated nettle tea?

[Alina]

tea with nettles?

Alina, this is not very tasty tea. It is not necessary to do it and there will be few useful substances in it. It is contraindicated in increased blood clotting.
