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

Lyudmilka, thank you for your congratulations !!! I myself am very glad that I have such an exciting and healthy hobby. Today my husband and I have already gone to the beam and I picked up 2 kg of the mixture (black mulberry, cherry, apricot, blackberry, pear, rosehip). Plus I collected some St. John's wort and oregano. Leaves are already lulled into the sheets.
I will definitely unsubscribe whether tea in zip-bags with foil will smell.

[francevna]

francevna, Alla, top class! Granules are a feast for the eyes! Your tea will give one hundred points ahead of the store! Thank you, Allochka, for the inspiring photos and detailed report!
Borkovna, Lena, well done you and your husband! We got a good line-up. Only be careful with St. John's wort - Lina warned in her topic ...

Girls, report on lemon balm with marigold leaves! Melissa 1150gr. leaves of marigolds 150g. the granules crumbled, the reason probably wilted badly. Marigolds must be dried separately, very juicy! fermented for 2.5 hours. dried at about 60-40. dried for a very long time, which I really did not like. The taste is wonderful, strong lemon scent and spicy! Delicious, but I have nothing to compare with, making lemon balm tea for the first time! if I still find melissa I will do it again!

[francevna]

francevna,! Alla! In 40 degree heat! With an oven! Feat!

Do girls on hawthorn have any reviews?

[KLO]

KLO, my oven and split work at the same time and the heady aroma spreads throughout the house.

[francevna]

francevna, , understandably,

[lily]

lily, I did last year. Light color. The taste is very similar to a highly diluted rosehip broth (berries). I won't do Mono anymore. I will take into mixes

do you have any feedback on hawthorn?

I do not advise making tea as an independent tea - the taste and aroma are weak, the effect of the medicinal components is strong. You can add no more than 10-15% of the total mass of leaves to mixes.

Look, what a beauty he gave me yesterday for our tea!

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa, Great! In such a beauty, tea will be even tastier!

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa, Lena, ah, what a smart little son

And I put tea to ferment


Here came to consult.
So so. In one container I have garden leaves (irga, raspberries, currants, cherries + a bit of ivanushka), in the other - pure ivan tea.
I want to ferment mono-ivanushka for at least 24 hours for astringency.
And then mix both teas after drying.

But I can't figure out how much to ferment the garden + ivanushka mix? For gardening I usually ferment for 6-8 hours, but this is not enough for Ivanushka, like
And even garden ones after the freezer. Fermentation actually started even earlier.
How long should the mix part ferment, huh?

Should the container be so misted?

Look, what a beauty he gave me yesterday for our tea!

Helen, a beautiful gift, well done son, knows what is needed. The picture is hard to see, can there be different temperatures?

[Alla]

Alla, Unfortunately no. There is only a function of maintaining the temperature.

How much do I ferment the garden mix + Ivanushka?

Flax, you dry them separately, the mix - in 6-8 hours, and Ivanushka - in a day. And then you mix the dry granules and dry them. I do so often. Then I add dry petals there for beauty, already in the process of drying.

the container must be so misted?

Yes, Olya, there is high humidity + self-heating during fermentation. Here it is.

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa, Congratulations, Lena, with a gorgeous, and most importantly, necessary gift !!!!
son well done !!!!
Since yesterday (or rather evening) I have been concerned about the acquisition infuser electric kettleso that the result is super ... I looked on the forum on the internet, but I still did not understand what I needed
I understand that I am addressing the wrong topic, but there are many experienced tea-makers and tea-lovers here, I decided that it was here that they would help me decide.
In order not to clog the topic, just give a tip on what to look for. You can and in a personal.
Thank you in advance

Yes, Olya, there is high humidity + self-heating during fermentation. Here it is.

I have never been like this. So I have the wrong tea ?? I went to cry.

[didn’t understand what I needed]

I am preoccupied with the purchase of an electric teapot so that the result is super. I looked on the forum on the internet, but tdidn’t understand what I needed

you need to decide what you need - a kettle for brewing tea (in this case, the material from which it is made is important) or an electric kettle, i.e. for "brewing" water (it doesn't matter what and in what you will heat the water, the main thing will be the softness of the water).

[Linadoc]

you dry them separately,

Linadoc, Lina, got it
So I will
The aromas in the kitchen soar - mind-blowing

[Lydia]

I went to cry.

Don't cry, maybe you covered it with air and vapor-permeable material, then the steam is not visible. I also ferment in plastic buckets under the lid, so it's visible.

purchase of a teapot

Lydia, the best is a glass or porcelain teapot, but you need to fill it with water of the correct temperature - 90-95 * C. I have a regular porcelain teapot and a regular thermopot. In the thermal sweat, the water is just the right temperature. And in the teapot there is porcelain in the form of a strainer in the area of ​​the spout. Therefore, pure tea is poured from it immediately.

[Girls, tell me, please, tea from grape leaves and tendrils, young shoots can only be made with green tea and rolled into tubes? I read the links that Alla does so. Today I cut too much on grape bushes and gained more than 2 kg, it is already wilting. But ... then twist so many with your hands ... with the current load in the gardens, the garden and with massive blanks, which we already have in full swing ... well, it's just unrealistic for me at the moment. Maybe you can then twist the grape leaves in a meat grinder? Unless, of course, it goes against the taste of tea afterwards. Then I’m ready to play all night. Perhaps there are already other recipes for preparing mono-tea from grape leaves, please share ... Lyudmilka, forgive me .. the tablet is stupid again and you will have to edit again ... Reading and writing from a tablet, not a computer, the only rest time is lying on the couch.]

Good day and evening to everyone !!!! Girls, tell me, please, tea from grape leaves and tendrils, young shoots can only be made with green tea and rolled into tubes? I read the links that Alla does so.

Maybe you can twist the grape leaves in a meat grinder then? Unless, of course, it goes against the taste of tea afterwards. Then I’m ready to play all night.

Do not hesitate to twist.
Yes, I completely forgot to say that tea made from grape leaves is wonderful cold as a heat and thirst quenching product. Excellent full-bodied taste with a slight sourness, all you need for a good tonic drink. An excellent replacement for all the supposedly teas from Coca-Cola and Nestle.

[Borkovna]

BorkovnaElena, for the first year I made leaf tea, and now everything is through a meat grinder.
Grape tea granules are very dense after double scrolling. They remain intact after the second brewing.
Zachary, thanks for the reminder of the cold tea. We are so hot that it's time for a refreshing tea.

Yesterday I twisted cherry leaves in a meat grinder, I wanted to skip twice, but it did not work, the meat grinder was clogged with a dense mass, I tried it 2 times, but still nothing came of it, maybe the leaves wilted badly? or is it a cherry leaf problem?

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, I lower a few leaves, so that there is no heavy load and through the large holes, then I ferment.
After fermentation, I put a dessert spoon in the hole, which granules come out directly from the meat grinder can be seen in the photo, which I posted yesterday at 16:32.

give just a tip on what to look for. You can and in a personal

Better not in a personal, I'm also interested

Girls, that year I twisted Kenwood in a meat grinder, every time with a big difficulty, at least 3 leaves, often had to disassemble And this year I bought our Axion meat grinder. This is heaven and earth Problems are gone

[Alla]

Alla, I also took a few leaves, a manual meat grinder, but I have little strength, so I didn't load much, a grate with large holes.

After fermentation, I lay

but I didn't think about it, the second time I tried to twist right away
thanks for the hint
twist next time after fermentation

you need to decide what you need - a kettle for brewing tea (in this case, the material from which it is made is important) or an electric kettle, i.e. for "brewing" water (it doesn't matter what and in what you will heat the water, the main thing will be the softness of the water).

apparently I need a thermopot
thanks for the advice

[sveta-Lana]

twisted cherry leaves in a meat grinder, wanted to skip twice, but it did not work, the meat grinder was clogged with a dense mass,

sveta-Lana, Svetlana, my meat grinder was also clogged even after a single freeze, I also turned it on manually. The girls advised to make cherry leaves according to the method of Zacharias or mix with other leaves. This is the property of cherry leaves. Made by the method of Zachariah, the meat grinder was hammered, but less. I will try again to do according to Zachariah, but add apple-tree leaves. I think it will be great. The girls wrote that in the mix cherry will prevail

[lydia]

lydia, somewhere in teahouse topics we discussed teapots, but only Svetiashka will find it.
I only drink freshly brewed tea, I don't brew it twice, so I brew it for myself in a thermo mug, and if for a family, in a French press. And in this set, in a teapot, a sieve is convenient, today I brewed our last year's seagulls.

[elena kadiewa]

but only Svetyashka will find it.

elena kadiewa, no, I will not find it. I don’t remember this conversation.

somewhere in teahouse topics we discussed teapots,

Lena, I read where Lena Kubanochka wrote about Tefalevsky, but did not really understand
I brew just in a mug for myself and drink from it. I understand that this is not entirely correct
husband and son prefer coffee.

I brew myself in a thermo mug

I have one, but I use it on trips for oatmeal porridge

And in this set, in a teapot, a sieve is convenient, today I brewed our last year's seagulls.

yes in this teapot everything will be delicious if you gave it to your son !!!!!

Added on Friday 24 Jun 2016 08:32 PM

no, I will not find it. I don’t remember this conversation.

Tonechka helped me with a link, I read it, but I just need time to study and understand everything in detail
don't look, Svetochka

don't look, Svetochka

[lara55]

This is the property of cherry leaves.

I suspected so
lara55thanks for the hint
next time I'll try Zachariah's method

[sveta-Lana]

sveta-Lana, indeed - cherries are difficult to process in a meat grinder. It can be safely done, as Svetyashka advised, with something lighter, for example, willow tea, raspberries, apple trees ... Even a small amount of it gives a strong cherry taste and aroma, and even 30-40 percent will give almost cherry tea.
space, Lida, there is no time to look, but in the winter of 2015 we discussed all methods of brewing in the topic of garden sauces.The tea maker is recognized as the best by many tea-makers. I've been sharpening my teeth for a long time, but the prices are too undemocratic. I tried to make tea in a coffee maker out of anvlogia, but nothing came of it - apparently the coffee maker does not pull our tea ...

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewaLenusik, tell Andryukha that he is a very good son! I gave you a cool thing! My photo doesn't enlarge, I can't see it well. Is this a tea maker?

Girls, and again to the question of cherries! How much to add to mixes? A few days ago I prepared 2 liters of dry mono tea from a cherry leaf, brewed it with last year's fireweed in a ratio of 1: 3, I could not drink IT! Bitter taste, pungent smell - I didn’t like it, as if I had chewed bitter almonds, I wanted to rinse my mouth out. Perhaps dry fermentation will fix something? By the way, these leaves were perfectly processed with a meat grinder, the leaves are small, dense, they passed perfectly. Maybe Siberian cherry is different from southern varieties?

In terms of varieties, cherries have a different taste, but Luda wrote above that you need very little of it and it will be felt, and as it is infused, the aroma and taste will sharply increase. So try putting it down just a little bit.

The tea maker is recognized as the best by many tea-makers.

And behind her is a thermos
I really like to brew in it.

No, I don't like a thermos, the aroma disappears. But this is my opinion.

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewaand I don't like the thermos. And the thermo mug too. I brew in a regular glass heat-resistant. Or in a large faience room. I put on a "heating pad" on top.

Well I don't know girls
It seems to me that in an ordinary teapot there is not enough time for the entire tea bouquet to open - the water cools earlier

[Seberia]

Seberia, it's a matter of taste! We infuse for 20 minutes and drink immediately. We never drink too hot anyway. Body temperature

or, rather, urine, as my grandmother said

We never drink too hot anyway. Body temperature

I brew in a mug with a lid. Half. Then I add water from the refrigerator. I hate boiling water (well, if only in winter).

And I only drink sooo boiling water, so the thermo mug is used

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa, you can't, Lenochka! It is bad for the esophagus!

Posted Saturday 25 Jun 2016 11:38 AM

Light,

next time I'll try Zachariah's method

SVETLANA, according to the method of Zakhariya, one cherry is perfectly scrolled in the meat grinder of the combine! Just do not plant a lot of leaves at once, but plant a little, or when you see that the rotating shaft becomes visible. And the mixture with cherries scrolls all the more well. Good luck!

Girls boys! The season for picking currants begins. Immediately after this, the leaves will begin to dry out sharply. So ... I'll make currant tea! Of course, hunting is mono, but ... I will only do one batch of cut. And I want to make the rest of the sheet granular. What is the mix with? Apple or strawberries? And how many% the maximum you can take currants, so that the granules are worthy, and the tea is currant, and not ...

[elena kadiewa]

And I just drink sooo boiling water

you can't, Helen!

elena kadiewa, urinary bursts, scald your legs with boiling water
