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

Maybe Siberian cherry is different from southern varieties?

Svetlana, do you have a cherry tree growing or is it a felt cherry?
Can you show the photo?

Svetkaa! Gee-gee-gee!
I have a northern esophagus, zoned, tea-coffee only boiling water.

I have a northern esophagus, zoned, tea-coffee only boiling water.

elena kadiewa, Then, it's OK. Thanks for flowers!

I will make currant tea

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

I also join this question.

Although it was not me who asked these questions, as the forum links show ...., but I also join them. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I will pick black currant berries ... and there the leaves waited for their turn.
LYUDMILKA, smiled that not only my tablet is buggy and adds work to you with editing the selected text of everything, instead of one name. The forum is also indulging. And I decided not to add any more work to you, but to highlight the names in a different way.

I just finished pruning the grapes completely. We also added 1.5 kg of leaves. In total it turns out .. almost 4 kg and this is a bit too much for only mono tea. I would like to do something else tasty. GIRLS, BOYS, tell me, what delicious grapes to make in the mix?

Hello! I'm new and I love herbal tea. Why is cherry leaf tea bitter? Collected both from trees and cherry bushes. Fermented for 4 hours. I brewed it fresh to see if I would like it. The blackberry is beyond praise.

[Barquentine]

Barquentine, Welcome! Delicious teas for you!

Why is cherry leaf tea bitter?

Can not say . I'm not bitter.

[Barquentine]

Barquentine, from my experience, I can say that perhaps you collected young leaves - they are bitter, so last year we collected leaves from plum sprouts, young ones are soft, after fermentation they were bitter, my husband likes it, but I don't drink that. Here, somewhere in the beginning, it is written that it is better to collect leaves from fruit trees during fruiting (ripening of fruits).

exactly young. young leaves are bitter only in cherries?

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa, Helen, well done sonny, knows what mom needs. Congratulations.

Maybe the cherry is wild? I have access to cherries not from the undergrowth, but from the seed. There are other leaves. And cherries on them with a bitter taste. I don't know, maybe the leaves are bitter

[Barquentine]

Barquentine, as I understand everything, the plum is definitely bitter - checked!

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 ...

Last year I liked it with an apple tree, it will add color and taste, and added a little berries.

[Nadyushich]

Nadyushich, I will not be with berries. I tried it, I don't like the sourness.

[Nadyushich]

Nadyushich, With berries I will not. I tried it, I don't like the sourness.

And a little bit of them, for granules, or with one apple tree ...

[Hope]

Hope, and how many apple trees for how many currants? (I will not berry !!!)

[Radushka]

how many apple trees how many currants?

Radushka, apple trees -86 (12.9%) for currants 66 (9.9%)

Me with a berry, too, not very much, then more like compote. And if with Ivanushka? I did that last year. Well, I don't have an apple tree or any other neutral scent.

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa,

Well, I don't have apple trees

Raspberry!

[Light]

Light, nooo ... I don't want raspberries! And raspberries will also prevent granules from forming.

does a cherry grow as a tree or is it a felt cherry? Can you show the photo?

Unfortunately, I did not take a photo, I collected leaves in the "wild" garden plots (people abandoned, do not cultivate) the trees are not tall, rather not even trees, but young growth around dried trunks, with dense and smooth leaves, few fruits, grow on a long petiole, does not look like a felt cherry, because the petiole of the berry is short and the leaf is wrinkled. I'll try to collect it after fruiting, perhaps the taste will be different.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, I made from cherry sprouts. May. The leaves were not even colored properly, they were light. no bitterness

what taste? can you identify the cherry?

[svetn]

svetn, of course. Cherry jam flavor. Well, not as strong as the summer ones. But I guess it's because I mixed with raspberries

[Radushka]

RadushkaI don’t know as a percentage, I did it by eye. And I also like the idea with Ivanushka. And add so much so that the granules are formed, although it did not matter to me, I wanted to get a beautiful tea color and currant taste.

[Nadyushich]

Nadyushich, I don’t have so much Ivanushka yet. Yes, and he has a strong taste of his own. It is very important for me that the tea is CURRANT! I'll try with an apple tree too. And, later, with strawberries. Anyway, cut strawberries in a couple of days

Thermos. I really like to brew in it.

I also prefer to brew in it, , actually the same teapot, you do not need to unscrew the lid, but you dose the button and through the tea leaves cutter to yourself.
In the morning I brewed it and the whole day is free.))) It is convenient to take with you on the road, work .. the temperature keeps all day, and I am satisfied with the quality of the brew.

[svetn]

and again to the question of cherries! How much to add to mixes?

svetn, it's a matter of taste. I can drink mono cherries with pleasure. Need to try...
In general, I added a few handfuls of leaves to tea mixes of 5 - 6 sauces.

will 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 ...

Radushka, but do it with an apple tree and a strawberry at the same time. You can add a handful or two of cherries - they are very sticky ...
In general, I did it with Ivan-tea (50:50). Mge liked it.

And I decided not to add any more work to you, but to highlight the names in a different way.

Borkovna, Lena,

GIRLS, BOYS, tell me, what delicious grapes to make in the mix?

Lena, here Alla knows everything about grapes. Maybe he'll come back later and answer?

Hello! I'm new and I love herbal tea.

Barquentine, welcome to tea themes! we are very glad to see you!

Why is cherry leaf tea bitter? Collected both from trees and cherry bushes. Fermented for 4 hours. I brewed it fresh to see if I would like it. The blackberry is beyond praise.

Barquentine, Lyudmila, most likely answered correctly. In young leaves in general, and not only in cherries, tannins are in maximum quantities. It's like eating an unripe fruit - tasteless. so with our tea. Leaves, like fruits, should ripen and pick up flavoring and aromatic substances. Therefore, I myself never make tea before the fruit ripens. and most of all I love tea from autumn leaves. Wait a bit...

Here, somewhere in the beginning, it is written that it is better to collect leaves from fruit trees during fruiting (ripening of fruits).

Mandraik Ludmila, and this is written in the recipe itself.

and how many apple trees how many currants? (I will not berry !!!)

Radushka, do 50:50 ... And then you will see what granules will be obtained.

[lappl1]

lappl1, Lyudochka !!! Well, how can I add CHERRY to CURRANT tea? She'll ruin all the currants for me!

[Radushka]

Radushka, but very tasty !!!!

[lappl1]

lappl1, yeah ... currant with cherry flavor

[Radushka]

Radushka, here's a new variety of currants - Cherry

Radushka, currants.

[Light]

Light, no
By the way, I have a currant - Black Boomer. Berry size - small cherry

Olya, sushi, sushi just in the wind in a bag. You can use it in tea, I don't know how much per 100g of tea, I haven't measured it. It will not give a special aroma, there is no harm from the petals. Mainly for beauty. Ol, there are reasonable limits, but not expressed in grams or pieces, since no one has done this. Again, use more for beauty than taste or aroma. Drying again is better in the wind. I dried it in a wicker basket, closed it on top with a net so that it would not blow away. And yet, it is advisable to cut them with smaller scissors, so it is more beautiful and more convenient. Personally, I added 1 whole flower (petals) per 150g of dry tea, everything is fine, I have tested it on myself

Lina, thank you very much! I will follow your recommendations and proportions!
I was drying in a dryer at 45 degrees for four hours, now they are drying under a newspaper, I don't know the result yet, and I'll try it in the wind, write down which ones will turn out more fragrant. Peony very much loses its aroma after drying, well, it depends on the variety, of course.

girls, good morning)) I want to join your company again) while I read Temko on the sly, make my hands itch for tea.
This year my daughter (a 9-year-old child) opened the tea season for me)) asked her to pick cherry leaves (the branches were cut off in the evening, the leaves had already withered) while I was at work. I come home, and on the table in a bowl under a cloth, the twisted raw material is fermented. I just sent it to the oven) the batch is small, but the child is pleased that she managed it herself.
I'm asking you - what to do with peach leaves in order to preserve the magical almond aroma?

[Hang out]

Hang out, Natalia, in my opinion, just dry. Now the girls will come and tell me.

[Natalia]

Natalia, what a smart daughter you have!

yeah, sometimes it pleasantly surprises))

everything, I read it, I found a peach)
once treated me to fruit shop tea. I saw there carcade, dried pieces of cherry, banana, almond, candied fruit, orange peel, pieces of cinnamon, yellow petals of someone.
decided - the worse I am)) dried cherries, black currants, blueberries, a few strawberries and strawberries (there were no more), an apple, an apricot, a banana, a few apricot kernels (they smell like almonds)). while everything is in separate jars. then, when the tea is dry, I will try. (I love dried fruit compote, I think nothing terrible will happen))

Added Sunday 26 Jun 2016 04:45 PM

p. from. I threw a few pieces of all my dried berries into the cup + a pinch of cherry granules + a peach leaf + boiling water.it turned out quite tasty compote tea. very tasty cold, light, pleasant, fruity. I will do for the winter !!!

Soon the climbing rose blooms. Big bush. Is it delicious to scroll and ferment the petals? Thanks for the advice. Very valuable. This year I cooked jasmine flowers. Jam as perfume.

Hello girls

I read the topic, read it, but how did it come to this

Tell me, the mummy at a party gathered me some leaves: strawberries, currants, honeysuckle, oblnpiha, lemongrass
Can you mix them all or not?
I'll take the leaves tomorrow, won't the night in the bag destroy them?

[Mark's mom]

Mark's mom, Inna, Leaves can be all mixed! It's okay!
It would be better if she scattered the leaves, wilted overnight. I think so.

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 ...

I mixed with apple, pear, raspberry, strawberry, plum and sucker. The ratio was something like this: 40: 15: 10: 5: 10: 5 listed and 15% currants. All together I wilted and did according to the method of Zachariah. Good granules, excellent taste and aroma. I will be the same this year, I will put more pear current, and less apple tree.

Added Sunday 26 Jun 2016 08:39 PM

Can you mix them all or not?

Of course, everything can be mixed at once and wilted together. Further, it is better to do according to the method of Zacharias, but it is also possible according to the basic recipe of the Village Tea.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Anatolyevna, girls, thank you

I can wither only tomorrow, they will spend the night in a package

Thank you
There is also a mountain ash there, you can also mix it?

I can wither only tomorrow, they will spend the night in a package

It is not right. The package will contain fermentation. Place it calmly on a withering sheet, and after a couple of hours, simply roll the sheet with leaves tightly into a roll, then they will wither, but will not dry out and will not begin to ferment.

There is also a mountain ash there, is it also possible in the mix?

It is possible, although the red rowan is tasteless, but the black chokeberry is super delicious.

Lina, I can only pick them up tomorrow, there is no other way

Will it make matters worse?

[Mark's mom]

Mark's mom, Inna, Leaves

will wither, but will not dry out or begin to ferment.

I would ask to do as advised! Everything will be right!
