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

try with berries for a mono raspberry "recipe"

I did monomalina with raspberry berries for two scrolls, I added them a little. The granules held up better. Yes, and I liked the taste more (oh, do not beat me with current ...) But there was no compote taste
I realized that the leaves and berries are also different from the place of growth.We have here in the fogs and cold, probably everything is not plowed ...

[Radushka]

Radushka, we like the same thing more in a teapot, but there are situations in life that we need bags, take them on the road, for example, or brew some herbs in a teapot, and in a cup in a bag, for example, the same cherries and add there from a teapot, especially when this cherry is not very good for someone.

This is what one head is good, but many are even better!

Do not accept, checked! I described everything in detail, you don't have to try, you just waste time.

Girls, probably, the quality of the granules after the second scroll depends on the meat grinder. I always get better granules - strong, beautiful. And the second scrolling is very fast, without stress. I also like the second scroll because the granulated tea is reduced in volume. And you need to pour less on the tea leaves. And, in general, this tea tastes better for me.
Well, who doesn't want to, well ... Everyone has their own preferences. Now I will twist all the tea twice. However, last year, from the middle of the season, I began to do so.
Thank you all for your opinion about the bags and the links to them ... I realized in a day that I didn't really need them. It's always like this - you catch fire with something ... Correctly they say, the morning is wiser than the evening ...

Correctly they say, the morning is wiser than the evening ...

I thought too, then looked at what I have and decided that I would not buy any more. Here in Auchan we sell these

There are 50 pieces in a box (though without strings) and cost 28 hryvnia.

Girls, I made a link to the bags on the first page.

Two of the three cherries ceased to smell. Today I updated them with fresh tea and added what was added.

[Light]

Light, and in what and how do you store tea? If it smelled, it shouldn't stop smelling. On the contrary ... It's all about storage.

Svetiashka, what and how do you store your tea?

Two in glass bottles, iron lids, one in a jar from Jacobs (200 g) - glass, lid - plastic. There is no smell of coffee in the can. Here in Jacobz and in one bottle the smell of cherries disappeared. I have a place - the battery is near. But the rest of them smell like tea. Pear, raspberry. Apple (threw rosehip petals here). January - apricot, pear, raspberry (faint raspberry smell).

I have a solid positive)))
I found meadow geranium, the whole sea.
And in the forest I found Irga, I never thought that she could grow wild in the forest.
Narwhal of young leaves, put them to dry.

I found meadow geranium, the whole sea.

Lucky, but I still have not succeeded. But today I made the tea just super tasty))

[Light]

Light, then I don’t know ... You seem to keep it ok. True, the temperature is probably high from the battery. In general, you need to find out the reason. Try to pour it into other jars and put it somewhere else, even under the bed. Or in the corridor ... Try ...
Natalo4-ka, congratulations on your lucky find. Then sign off how you make tea!

Twenty second, I am very glad!. Congratulations on the super delicious tea! How and from what were they made?

Lyuda, no where. It is light in the corridor (we have a hall with a balcony). Stands between the wall and the bed. The seats are taken under the bed.

Lina, what topic did you write about? I never saw ...

I wrote in the Gazebo, a year ago. Vikusa could not be sent to Kharkov Ivanushka.

I have a place - the battery is near.

Svetyashka! I think that the temperature is the issue! My teas are stored on a glazed loggia right next to the outer wall. In winter, there is no lower than +12 on the loggia (fresh flowers stand), and in summer it is not hot on the shelves there. The teas smell very strong, even the year before last.

It's light in the hallway

Regarding the light: I wrapped the jars with food foil, now it's dark, and the storage temperature will also improve, it will be more uniform!

Vikusa failed to send Ivanushka to Kharkov

Girls, don't try! We have with Russia shipment, transportation of food is prohibited by customs regulations. You can carry with you, for personal use, a very limited amount, and then in unopened factory packaging! We are not talking about shipment at all! A friend of mine sometimes goes to Moscow and asks to bring a Kiev cake, so she even takes a check with her from the store so that they would not bother at the border.

Congratulations on the super delicious tea! How and from what were they made?

Thank you, all thanks to your work, otherwise I would have continued to drink store green tea. And if you do it like I do for decades, it certainly doesn't make you healthier.
Last time I made from raspberries and currants + apple, cherry, pear (wild), plum. Roughly the same portions, no scales. I twisted it in a manual meat grinder without a knife and grate, in the largest possible portions to mash better, and about seven hours of fermentation. The tea was good, everyone liked it. The next time I rubbed the same composition with my hands after the meat grinder, and it turned out much better. It looks like a real TEA, especially if brewed strong enough. And the pleasant aftertaste, very unusual, surprises with the stable presence of twenty minutes, no less. Now I'm thinking of trying the same composition as you do, granular, that is, with a grill and a knife in a meat grinder.

You get used to our teas and then you don't want any other

That's for sure! )

Twenty second, we have geraniums - eat booty !!! Search in the flooded meadows

Twenty secondI like granular much more. Compared on mono-raspberry.

Hello forum users. I harvest herbs simply by drying (although over time I also want to try fermenting).I dried the cherry leaves on a sheet and, probably, did not mix well - they went brown spots. I noticed spots after a couple of days. Do you think the leaves are gone, or is it a partial fermentation? It's a pity to throw it away, I think I'll ask again .. thanks if you answer!

[OlgaAnim]

OlgaAnim, everything is fine, do not throw it away! Indeed, it was partially fermented on damaged leaves. Chance tells you that it's time to make fermented teas. You will see the difference immediately! So, join us!
Twenty second, great composition! And rightly so, try making granulated tea next time! The result will please you even more!
Light, Irochka rights: you can wrap jars with foil, and you can store them almost in the entrance. My "spoiled" tea, which stood for more than 2 months on the street with a daily temperature drop of 20 - 25 *, went to the basement of my grandmothers' house. There was a temperature of 6 - 8 degrees in winter. So try to attach it somewhere.
By the way, now my tea is just in the room, but in large cigarette boxes. It's dark for him there, as it should be.

Have you already made tea from geraniums? And how does it taste?

did not do. Mosquitoes were not allowed to collect. Tomorrow I'll be in that meadow with a spray

[depends on the meat grinder]

About the light: I wrapped the jars with food foil, that's dark,

yes, most likely the jars fell under the sun, it worked.
For example, Count Razumovsky, with his famous tincture, did this, put it in a large bottle of thick glass. smeared with rye dough 3 fingers thick and kept in a dark, warm place for 4 nights in a row, and every morning the bottle was taken out and placed in the sun.

this depends on the meat grinder the quality of the pellets after the second scroll. I always get better granules - toturnip, beautiful. And the second scroll goes very fast, without stressa. I also like the second scroll because the volume of granulated tea hasdecreasesI. And you need to pour less on the tea leaves. And, in general, this tea tastes better for me.

I have a similar effect, but you need to look after the meat grinder, the same tool.

[lappl1]

lappl1, Lyudmila, made according to the method of Zacharias, the leaves were alternately frozen and thawed. The appearance has not changed at all, it smells of grass. I put it back in the freezer, I don't know what to do with them already. Probably they won't go into a meat grinder. They seem to rustle in their hands. All that remains is to dry in the oven?

[Irina]

Irinawhat leaves did you freeze? After thawing in the freezer, they always change color.

Strawberries. I did not wilted them, but dried them unintentionally (

[Irina]

Irina, I do not know what to say. If you put the leaves in the freezer dry, it may be worth sprinkling them with a little water and freezing them. And then see what happens after thawing. It would be nice to have photos for comparison.
Wait still, maybe the girls will tell you something.

[IrinaSakura]

IrinaSakura, and fermented? There can be no hay smell after fermentation! Zakhar's method only involves preparation for fermentation. So you definitely need to do it. Strawberries cannot smell like hay. And the color ... You shouldn't pay attention to it. Each plant behaves differently. The pear turns black instantly, and from some plants such as lingonberry, you will not wait for this even after drying. The main thing is to catch the smell during fermentation.

No, I haven't fermented. I think it's worth a try. At least get to know the process

Today I twisted the leaves even faster. Today they are with fruit (we got several cherries and one pear during the collection). Drying the 2nd part.

[Light]

Light, Well, that's good! Has the meat grinder changed its mind or has the fruit helped? I understood about the cherry ... And where did you get the pear? Or is it still small and green?

No, I haven't fermented. I think it's worth a try. At least get to know the process

IrinaSakuraof course try it. It's not as complicated as it seems. It's just that the recipe says a lot. Therefore, it seems difficult. And you will start to do and you will see that it is not so. The main thing is not to rush when reading. Read one stage - do it ... Then the second ... And so on ...

[Ludmila]

Or is it still small and green?

Ludmilalike cherries. I couldn't throw it away.

[Light]

Light, and did the right thing to leave! Here they helped you twist the leaves.

[Ludmila]

Here they helped you twist the leaves.

Ludmila, Yes. They were not even audible when twisted. The bones are still milk.

Good evening! Tell me please, I picked some cherry leaves during the day and washed them. They are correspondingly wet. I want to do it according to the Zacharias method by freezing and thawing, is it necessary to wither them? Is it necessary that they dry out from moisture and only then in the freezer?

[IrinaSakura]

IrinaSakura, Irina, dry, wilted necessarily, then according to the method of Zachariah.

My 3-day tea smells gently like cherry jam.

[IrinaSakura]

IrinaSakura, Irina, Be sure to dry and CURE. And only then, in the freezer.
It is better not to wash the leaves. Only frankly dirty. Well, I, besides strawberry ones, have not seen any other dirty at the beginning of summer

Added Saturday 04 Jun 2016 09:49 PM

Light, Congratulations! And I have different smells from different cherries. From "oil paint" to a delicate rose ... well, and cherry jam, of course

Girls, tell me how you dry flowers, please. Today my husband brought such beautiful rosehip flowers, laid them out to dry in Isidri. Dried to a minimum, they did not keep their shape completely dried out, but the color is amazing. I'll take a picture tomorrow, I'll show it, today I have no strength, 16 hours on my feet
And how they smelled amazing Interestingly, in a closed jar, the smell can accumulate again Now it does not smell of anything

[Mila1]

Mila1, LudmilaThey didn't have to keep their shape. Color is important. Well, and the smell, of course

[Radushka]

Radushka, Radushka, thanks a little calmed down. And I really thought maybe I did something wrong
And about the smell, I added to the message above

[Mila1]

Mila1, LudmilaIt is better to store flowers not in an airtight container, but in a box, like pharmaceutical herbs. Dry-warm-dark. Otherwise, they can become slimy.

[Radushka]

Radushka, Thank you

[Radushka]

Radushka, Radushka, and I have roses, chamomile, and something else in glass jars since last year. Now I ran and checked the Roses even smell pretty strong Something I was scared Maybe then put it in a box

I ruined this game again. She had already managed to shove the leaves, which were not withered and wet, in the freezer for an hour, and took them out. We had a little time to freeze. I'll go get a sheet out of the bags until morning, dry at least.
Oh, how I want to do everything right and tasty, but no one believes in my idea ...

[IrinaSakura]

Oh, how you want to do everything right and tasty

IrinaSakura, Irina, why didn't you read the recipe carefully? Everything is written there!

[Radushka]

Radushka, I have dirty cherry leaves. Something suspiciously sticky from the neighboring area. I washed it just in case, you never know what was sprayed

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, last year we discussed here how to store flowers. For some, they are poorly stored in sealed packaging. But everyone is just fine in the box. Well, maybe, a moth ... so it is displayed everywhere if it has already got there

Added Saturday 04 Jun 2016 10:40 PM

Irina, cherries often have sticky leaves. Especially while young. In short, it's better not to wash

[Radushka]

Radushka, did not understand what to wither. The recipe says that he kept Zakhari in the bag for almost a day. I had the leaves in a bag for a day, took them out in the evening, washed them. They lay in the bag for a couple more hours, then an hour on the sheet, but they did not dry out.It's late evening, so I put it in the freezer. Probably lay there for an hour. Already took it out, thawed it and wrapped it tightly in sheet until morning. Something out of order comes out ((((
