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

Girls, I will write, may be useful to someone I made coniferous-rosehip jam (according to Linochka's recipe, for which I am ready to thank her countless times), but the cake of their coniferous and rosehip shoots remained. I felt sorry for throwing it away. There was nothing in it, only the night flooded with boiling water stood and I squeezed it out, besides, very well. dry In short, I consulted with Linochka. Will there be any benefit from such a "cake after the bath", she gave the go-ahead Said less, but still it will be useful I ran it through a meat grinder to form granules and dried in Isidri at 60C. Today mom came to visit and I treated her to this jam and brewed tea from an apple tree, a little cherry and added a little cake granules. Girls, we really liked the tea. A light note of pine and rose hips. In general, you will make such a jam, do not throw away the cake, try it dry, suddenly you will like it too. And as for the benefits ... I trust Linochka ... she is a professor

I will also add ... the tea turned out to be VERY aromatic and tasty, we drank it just like that without sugar and sweets and we wanted to drink more.

Twenty second,
This is a link to mulberry

Thank you very much for the link, I myself would not have mastered so many pages. Probably, languor is just what you need and it is really possible to get mulberries (I hope), and with an apple tree, a cherry, a pear, etc. I want to experiment in this vein)
You are doing a good and necessary job, good luck to you!

Twenty secondIt seemed to me very similar to green, mulberry tea.

Thanks, I will definitely try when I find it)
Have you ever tried to simmer hazelnut leaves? We have almost no nuts, but a lot of leaves.

Walnut absolutely NO! If hazelnut, then be the first!

[filirina]

filirina, Irina, someone made tea from hazel and didn't seem to taste. I myself have a lot of hazel, so I paid attention. But as a medicine, the leaf and bark of hazel have many indications, and the collection of medicinal raw materials is just now, in May.

[filirina]

If hazelnut, then be the first!

filirina, Ira, no-a ... The first is me ...

Someone made tea from hazel, and it seemed to taste nothing.

liliya808, Lily, so it is ... I quote myself (from the recipe on the first page):

I tried to make tea from linden leaves, maple, hazelnut... But this tea didn't impress me at all. Not tasty and smells like bath brooms...

Girls, I will write, it may be useful to someone

Mila1, Lyudochka, thank you very much! What a good deed you did. I made jam according to Lina's recipe. The jam is great, but you're right - it was a pity to throw out the cake. It's great that you thought of this! Thank you for sharing your idea and result.

You are doing a good and necessary job, good luck to you!

Twenty second, Thank you! And all the best to you! Happy Tea Year!

Have you ever tried to simmer hazelnut leaves? We have almost no nuts, but a lot of leaves.

Twenty second, the answer above has already given. At the beginning of the recipe, I wrote about it. In the first year, I even put a photo in the recipe for this tea. and described how she did it. but then removed.
Here is evidence of this:



Don't waste your time ...

Lyudochka, thank you and all the girls, they support and develop this useful topic in every sense !!!

Dear tea-makers, my husband scares me here with gravilat, demands to go to collect, it has already blossomed here, it is used as a medicinal herb, the root as a spice, and has anyone tried to ferment?

[Mandraik Ludmila]

Mandraik Ludmila, Luda, nobody has written anything about gravilate yet. Look at the composition. Useful. It seems that there are tannins in the roots. And in the leaves, no. Has essential oils. This means that you need to do like mint and other spicy herbs, that is, not ferment, but twist in a meat grinder and dry at a low temperature. In general, there are many questions. Try it, maybe it’s worth it.

[lappl1]

lappl1, thanks, I will then dry in bunches ... while it rains, we will wait for the end ...

[Mandraik Ludmila]

Mandraik Ludmila, it's better not in bunches (hay will work out), but as I wrote above
.

twist in a meat grinder and dry at low temperature

[lappl1]

lappl1, well, I don’t like to twist in a meat grinder, my husband and I manually ferment, he twists, I cut with a ceramic knife, for a start I will try to dry it in bunches.

I'll try to dry it in bunches.

It will be dried herb, not fermented tea. This has nothing to do with tea.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, I understand this, I do not ferment gingerbread herbs: mint, lemon balm, basil, I dry them in bunches, my husband and I like that. And I have not done gravilat yet, and even though they write about him that he is more of a gingerbread, I have no experience. I thought someone did it here, if not, then I will be the first. First, in order to understand its taste in general, I will dry it in bunches, maybe it’s not that spicy ... I’ll look further. And we ferment fireweed, apple, plum, etc., that is, not gingerbread.

I do not ferment gingerbread herbs: mint, lemon balm, basil, I dry them in bunches

That's what I'm talking about, it's just dried herb, not tea. And I ferment, not for long, an hour and a half. The difference is significant. It turns out exactly the tea with the taste and aroma of the original herbs. Mint is generally similar to mint candy. I love basil, but not as an independent tea, but in mixes. Only it is necessary to ferment in a closed container. And dry at T not higher than 50 * C. Try it, you will feel the difference. And I use dried herbs as spices, and not as tea.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, thanks, let's try, my husband is engaged in the fermentation process, nevertheless, I can't twist such an amount of green mass - my hands are weak. In addition, he is categorically against grinding in a meat grinder, so fermentation here does not depend on me

In the first year, I even put a photo in the recipe for this tea. and described how she did it. but then removed.

And what laxative from hazel do you not know? This leaf is interesting as a laxative. Ideally, you need a laxative that restores bowel function, if you know this, please tell me.

[Twenty second]

And what laxative from hazel do you not know?

Twenty second, if you use hazel as a medicine, then you do not need to ferment and dry the leaves like tea. We make tea, not lek. raw materials. During fermentation, the medicinal properties of plants are reduced. so just dry at low temperature in a tumble dryer.
And I don't know about the properties of hazel. Knowing girls, maybe they will answer later?

[Radushka]

In the sense that the recipe needs a separate

Yes, I also like this idea!
Radushka, I will come to visit you with my raspberry tea, we will sit and discuss

I understand that it would be better to put it out as soon as possible, but I do not promise earlier than by the end of June.

And our crimson leaves have not even appeared yet. There's no hurry ...

Radushka, and how do you tear it up ?! In tarpaulin gloves?

We are tea lovers!

and how do you tear it up ?! In tarpaulin gloves?

I cut with scissors and heavy gardening gloves.

I even pick mushrooms with gloves

I even pick mushrooms with gloves

And the mushrooms are guilty of what? Or in Volgograd, even mushrooms are so severe that they overgrow with thorns?

I also pick mushrooms with gloves. I'm afraid of snakes (and so it seems not so scary). It's hard to wash your hands after the mushrooms (I collect butter, this season at least tear it apart - and for mushrooms I want to prepare as much as I want to prepare teas. And I don't overdo it.

he is categorically against grinding in a meat grinder

For tea, grinding in a meat grinder is absolutely not critical. Nothing in the tea gets worse, it just gets better. The taste, color, extract, aroma are improved, fermentation is accelerated, the aroma is enhanced, and, most importantly, the process is greatly simplified and simplified, which is essential for tea-maniacs (so that the fuse does not pass).

hazel laxative

Young hazel foliage is edible and can be used to make soups or cabbage rolls. Hazel foliage has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, vasodilating properties. Hazel leaves are most often used in the form of decoctions in the treatment of hemorrhoids, varicose veins, skin diseases, anemia, hypertension, bowel diseases (dysentery, i.e., inflammatory infectious diarrhea). No laxative properties noted. But I repeat once again - tea does not have the full function of a medicine from the raw materials from which it is made. This is a drink.

[Lyudochka,]

In general, you will make such a jam, do not throw away the cake, try to dry it,

Lyudochka, late....

mushrooms are guilty of something

Handles the shore. After butter, meadow mushrooms, you can't wash your hands, a manicure for blowing your nose, and the next day to meet with clients ... Something like this

and for mushrooms, horror as you want and prepare teas. And not to overdog the gardens.

And the pens are alone ... You need to take care of yourself and love

Got it! I just felt like a pig! I always need to get into everything with my paws, even when I paint and have gloves, I still start without them and smear myself! And no manicure ... only short-cut nails (long ones get in my way and break forever).
I just envy people who are so disciplined about gloves!

And no manicure ... only short-cut nails (long ones get in my way and break forever).

I also have short nails and nude tones ... Just as it is convenient for someone. I instructed my husband to wear gloves.
Now I will crumble the mix and wrapped the lemon balm.

I always need to get into everything with my paws

filirina, Irina, I also have to wag my hands.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Linochka, can you tell us more about the basilica? Do you use a regular gardener? We respect him very much! BUT ... put in tea? I never would have thought! Although ... I know cough syrup. It's some other basil, isn't it?

Sweetheart, and how do you tear it up ?! In tarpaulin gloves?

Elena_Kamch, With pens, Helen ... with pens ... naked. I don't know how to wear gloves!
I have raspberries in the city garden. A little, but well-groomed and gives excellent quality berries. But, planted in two rows. And you have to walk between the rows during the collection. I was gone for a couple of days. I see that no one has collected my raspberries ... (and it is necessary, at least once a day, or, better, two) I ask my daughter-in-law, why did she not cut off the raspberries? Says - She's injecting! Legs - hands to scratch? Well her!
However, no one has yet given up to eat when I vomit

Green tea from the leaves of garden and wild plants

I feel that I will not have granulated, but tiled tea
I think I pressed it too hard before fermentation, kulema

FuuuuuuuXxxxxxx divided into granules. Now it remains to dry properly.
There are peach leaves + pear + apple trees, there is the smell of a drunken peach.

[Zachary]

Zachary, well done, that made a separate recipe! This is important because the technology is different. Clever girl!

So I pierced with currant leaves, dried it, and then rolled it over, the granules crumble. I urgently need to make it and I can’t put it together, I sprayed it yesterday ... It’s standing, it’s a little darkened, can I just throw it in a cup into the freezer, or is it all useless now? Give advice please, I really need to do it, I promised ..

[Hope]

Hope, easier to redo. Wither, and then, according to Zakhar's method, make and it is advisable to add some more leaves that give the granules shape - strawberries, apple trees, pears, goof, honeysuckle ...

[Linadoc]

LinadocThank you Lina! Now I'll think about what to add. After all, an apple tree, a pear must be dried ..

[Zachary]

Green tea from the leaves of garden and wild plants

Zachary, thank you very much for a separate recipe! How many questions there were last year about green tea, this year they are interested. So the recipe is very necessary and timely!

And geranium? Zakhar, please !!!!

But I repeat once again - tea does not have the full function of a medicine from the raw materials from which it is made. This is a drink.

And languishing will not better preserve the medicinal properties of the leaves in tea, without fermentation? For me, the whole point of a homemade drink is just its medicinal qualities.

[Twenty second]

Twenty second, we in our topics separate the concepts of "drink" and "medicine". Fermentation produces a tasty drink, but reduces its medicinal properties. But they are undoubtedly. Many tea makers report an improvement in their well-being after constantly drinking our teas. To preserve the healing properties, it is better to simply dry the leaves at low temperatures - in the shade or in a dryer. Although, as Linadoc has repeatedly written, the Chinese use fermented teas as a medicine. But they are fully preserved with conventional drying, as recommended by herbalists. Wait for Lina's answer. She is an expert in these matters.

[Twenty second]

Twenty second, if you need to get a medicine, then just dry the grass in bunches in the wind in the shade. This will be the medicine. And here we make tea - a drink for pleasure and strength with some properties of the raw material, from which it is obtained and devoid of unnecessary properties (caffeine, flavors, dyes, etc.), which we have in purchased teas. As a specialist in traditional methods of medicine, I have repeatedly written that herbal medicine can be successfully used as an adjunct to mainstream therapy, but no more. In fact, herbal medicine is an under-dosed medicinal raw material with not always predictable results. This is all understood and discussed in other forums - pharmaceutical and traditional medicine. And we have a culinary forum and we are preparing here, in this case, teas, not medicines.

[elena kadiewa]

but she never invited me to visit ...

elena kadiewa, Len, so I myself impudently asked for it
But so far there is nowhere to visit! There are no topics yet. As it will be, so we will go

I thought what else do you want?

Radushka, raspberry tea and more!

Are we not on you?

Elena_Kamch, Helen, I asked EVERYONE

[Radushka]

Radushka, Have you seen Ivan tea near Kharkov? For some reason I can't find it.

if you need to get a medicine, then simply dry the grass in bunches in the wind in the shade.

So I'll try, with mixes of leaves, maybe I'll manage to pick up a pleasant aftertaste. Currant leaves, for example, have a bright taste even without fermentation.
Thanks everyone for the advice.

I asked EVERYONE

Ahhh Then of course ...
Let's wait for more suggestions There, the girls were preparing brooms for the flight ...
