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

Lenus, now you will begin to regret that you did not make tea last year!
Especially when your cherry is infused!

[Radushka]

Radushka, look, teasing more!

I will cut off my tongue! wow me!

I already regret the girls. But that year I did not have time to crawl out of the currant, as I climbed on the cherry, and from it on the apricot and further down the list. And then the ethno processed everything. I work here alone on the estate. Mom is no longer at all, only in the wings of something can. My son entered the technical school that year, his husband was with him - he controlled. So I didn’t make it to tea. But this year there is nothing but currants. Well, besides the leaves, kaneshna. So I recycle them. Tomorrow I’ll go to destroy the old raspberries, and I’ll pull the foliage off of it. Then I'll rip off the pear and the apple tree.

I am writing you a plan so that I would not forget

Do I have a plan? Do I have a plan? It turns out there is!

I understand that these are already possible combinations ?? But then prepare all the teas separately, right?

I got to the sucker ... now leaves from two packages are wilting, it turned out 3750g. Two more packages are waiting, one has been determined, a friend will take it in the morning, and the remaining one will have to be cut off for a long time.

The apple tree itself is not, but gives color and good granules.
Work, Lenusik, work, in winter it will not be enough anyway, Radushka will confirm this to you!

[tuskarora]

tuskarora, Lena immediately together and cook, it will be tastier.

[elena kadiewa]

Do I have a plan? Do I have a plan? It turns out there is!

I prepare mixes right away. The way I wrote it. Raspberry-apple-tree - 50/50, raspberry-pear -50/50, raspberry-strawberry - 50/50, currant-apple tree - 50/50, currant-strawberry - 50/50, raspberry-pear-apple tree - 50/25 / 25
I make mixes with currants TODAY for the first time. Fermented for three hours. I dry immediately in the dryer at 70. Not dry yet
Smell ... it looks like I'm going crazy until morning

Added Sunday 10 Jul 2016 08:22 PM

elena kadiewa, Elena, with raspberries the apple tree gives very good granules. And, here, with currants ... The second time you can not twist. The result is zero. Dust as after the first time.
BUT ... I will not cut the sheet anyway!

well, maybe one batch ... if I pick up enough currants)

Work, Lenusik, work, in winter it will not be enough anyway, Radushka will confirm this to you!

"Work, negros, work - the sun was still high!" You are my caring! But I won't go to work! I'm going to crack Angelkin's bun with fresh milk! And finally, it rains with us!

[Radushka]

Radushka, will you write it down later? Damn, I don't have an apple tree
Lenusik, I have rain every day! And there are no Angelkina's rolls: pardon: just cake ... come in for last year's tea with rolls!

Radushka, that is, we immediately take different leaves in the proportions that you indicated and dry them together, freeze them, ferment them, dry them - right?
Well, here is a mixture with currants, I read in this thread that it can only be in a dryer. And the rest of the teas are better in the oven. So what about the mixture? If in the oven, then currant supervitamins or whatever is in it will be killed. And if to dry, will the tea be sufficiently fragrant?

Added Sunday 10 Jul 2016 08:29 PM

stop by for last year's tea and rolls!

EEEE. Well, from Putivl to the Carpathians, our Sidor Artemyevich Kovpak went of course. True, not alone. But from Putivl to Western Siberia ......... This is something new. Will the rolls turn black?

will you write it later? Damn, I don't have an apple tree

do you have strawberries? It seems to me that granules are stronger with strawberries. Although ... hyzy ... I've already brewed it with an apple tree. Color - light amber, very beautiful. Taste - slightly tart, currant is well guessed. I love. I think you can take less currants. This I brewed the part that I dried in the oven at 100 until completely dry. It's still damp in the dryer for testing. The verdict will be shorter later.
Well, and currants with strawberries ... probably in the morning already

[Elena]

Elena, currants only at a low temperature, if you want to preserve the aroma.
It is better to fry the rest of the teas and then dry them.
The proportions of the leaves can be any.
Haven't you mastered the broom yet? It's time, girl, it's time!

[tuskarora]

tuskarora, Elena, dry and freeze everything separately. But when I defrost it before twisting, then ... apple-strawberries dry out much faster than raspberries, or cherries, for example. First, I defrost them in separate piles and stir them up, and then, when one pile has already been ventilated, and the other is still damp, I mix them and ventilate them a little more (stirring), twist them, grabbing a bunch of whatever is horrible, so to speak. On the second twisting, they mix even more and the granules become more uniform in appearance.

We write it down. Dry the currants in the dryer. After the last drying, so much dust was poured from it ... I already blew the dryer, blew it ...

After the last drying, so much dust was poured from it

I hope you didn’t repeat my stupidity? DID NOT THROW OUT the dust ???

Now I'm sifting tea too

I hope you didn’t repeat my stupidity? DID NOT THROW OUT the dust ???

No no. I sent it to the same bag.

Added Sunday 10 Jul 2016 08:47 PM

Lenok, why sift? Chot I'm dull.

Yes, Radushka somehow wrote that she sifts, and so I pour everything into this "dust fraction". Such yummy turns out! And the appearance is similar to Soviet Georgian tea.

Added Sunday 10 Jul 2016 8:53 pm

And the granules are separate, even, whole.

Clear. Well, I have a mustache yet to come. I mean tea. We mix everyone.

Uh-huh.

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa, I DO NOT SEED anything !!! Everything is very small for me, it wakes up in the dryer to the bottom. I used to shake it out on the street. And then ... it dawned on me that I had drunk such "dust" in bags before. Well, I began to pour everything into one jar. Has sniffed recently ... the song!

it looks like I'll lose my mind before morning

Likewise ... the chokeberry in the oven ... mamadaragaya, that year she did something wrong - in this one everything goes very fragrant !.

[Vinokurova]

Vinokurova, AlenKa,
Now I'm drying the currant-strawberry. So far, it seems to me better in smell than currant-apple tree. Well, the granules are stronger. Dosushu - brew.

[Radushka]

Radushka, I stir up blackberry granules, so my palms smell divine ... cherry-stone aroma !.
I am not peeling the currants yet, I have not harvested the crop, but I will take your recommendation for a note)))

[Vinokurova]

Vinokurova, when I finish drying, I will write a report. True, I don't know if there will be photos ... I have already collected all the currants. Only the leaves remained. But, the planting is young, the leaves are cut off strongly - to deprive yourself of the harvest next season. Because ... I endure it for now. Here, on the 14th I will form the bushes ... I will fertilize ... and if everything goes well, at the end of August I will cut off 75% of the leaves. By that time, strawberry ones can be peeled a little ... Well, I have a lot of apple trees this year. I harvest two trees from 1962 (in parts, because I harvest the leaves)

[Radushka]

Radushka, I can do without a photo)))
I will wait..

[Radushka]

Smell ... it looks like I'm going crazy until morning

Radushka, great! And I'm just planning to collect.We have charged rains with fogs ...
Didn't raspberry-currant make such a mix? I have neither an apple tree nor a strawberry now ... Although, such a mix will probably fall apart completely ...

Yes, Radushka, I'm waiting for a report on strawberries and currants!

And about sifting, well, after all, the main thing I think about is to pick it up, right, Radushka? !

Kamchatka and I walk side by side ... hee hee, one after another!

Oh girls! Your teas are dizzy. And the anticipation of the tea fireworks! From everything I want to do !!!

do not put leaves wrapped in cloth in a bag. Moisture needs to evaporate somewhere, but it has nowhere to get out of the bag. Have you put the leaves in a dry cloth when they lie there and the first cloth got wet? So sometimes 2 - 3 times you need to rewrap in a dry cloth.
Is your fabric thick? If it is thin, then there will be no desired result either. How long was it dried in the fabric? What layer were the leaves wrapped in cloth? The same as in the photo in the recipe, small? If it is a thick layer, then it is clear that the leaves will not wither.
Quote: sveta-Lana from Yesterday at 06:28
laid out in a thick layer
What is Tolstoy? Don't need a thick layer. How will they dry out if moisture from the lower layers does not evaporate? It will take a long time to stir up ...
How long do you wither? If it's damp now, then it can dry for 2 - 3 days ...

I don't remember who wrote that if there is no time to study, then you can put the roller with leaves in a bag and put it in the refrigerator

the fabric stays dry all the time, so I don’t change it, the sheet in it starts to dry

coarse calico duvet cover
don't know is this thick enough fabric?

I lay out very thinly, literally 2-3 leaves, I fold it as in the photo and leave it overnight, it's about 10 hours + -

if it's just on the fabric, then I lay it out thicker than in a diaper, about 5 cm, I stir for 5 hours, I'm afraid longer, because they start to dry, the weather is hot, although the apartment is not on the sunny side, so the temperature is relatively comfortable

but I still make teas, it turns out delicious and aromatic
Ivan-tea is drying well, but I don't smell honey, only a faint smell of apple
I took up teas for the first time, I hope over time I will gain experience and everything will work out

Boys girls! I am reporting.
Yesterday I made TWO lots of tea - a currant benefit, so to speak.
Currant-apple tree and currant-strawberry (50/50 strictly). Strawberry pellets are better than apple pellets. The color is similar in intensity (light amber), but of a different shade. The taste ... I liked the apple tree better. Soft, with a strong currant note. With strawberries, it is more tart, harder and currants are less visible.
I think you can make a mix of three ingredients - currants (40), apple and strawberries (60).
Freeze and thaw three times. Twisted it twice. Fermented for 3 hours. Dried in a dryer at 70 degrees.
If I do it with raspberries (most likely I will), then only a cut sheet, of course.

there will be totally MY tea. I won't give it to anyone!

[Radushka]

Radushka, and fermented how much

[Barquentine]

Barquentine, Nataliya,

Freeze and thaw three times. Twisted it twice. Fermented for 3 hours. Dried in a dryer at 70 degrees.

[Radushka]

Yesterday I made TWO lots of tea - a currant benefit, so to speak.

Radushka, congratulations on the benefit performance Smorodinov!
Let's do so - let's call the new recipe "Currant Benefit". When will you post the Recipe?
Radushka!

And I am in support of Luda

Radushka

And I am in support of Luda

Girls, this is a blow below the belt! I can't refuse YOU! Only for the benefit performance, you also need a chopped mix of currant-raspberry, and currant leaves will be on it only after the full moon! You can't bare young bushes on the growing moon! Will you wait?

Mini-report on sbatsanny. Finally I made Ivan-tea without deviating from the rules.Even dried with a layer of 1 cm. What can I say ... It does not stink like the previous one, but the taste is still very strange, and the smell. I don't know how to describe it ... The color is yellow, like green tea (made with rolls). I don't know what will come of it when it settles. I will not make Ivan tea again this season, it is already puffing.
Made another Antonovka, a meat grinder. This turned out surprisingly well! Last year I threw out the whole apple tree, it was completely tasteless, even after standing. I think, because I was collecting already half-dried raw materials after the terrible drought of that time. Now I have also collected an apple tree - a little white filling, and the rest of unknown species, we have many apple and pear trees growing nearby on the site of the farmsteads demolished in the 50s.
I made more blueberries. I was tortured to grind her, but in the end it turned out surprisingly well too! Intense color and taste - for the first time we have a tea with a slight bitterness and I love it! I will try to do more if I have time to collect the raw materials, since yesterday they promise showers and thunderstorms until the 20th or longer.
I collected wild raspberries today, I'll see what happens.

[Tigger Striped]

Tigger Striped, maybe Ivan-chai isn't yours, so I just don't like it.
Do others you like.
Radushka, for now, start writing, and when is your full moon?

when is your full moon?

Not mine, but ours! 20th. On July 22nd I will prune the bushes. I don’t know if I’ll dial for a full game. I hope I will. There are a couple of bushes in the village that need to be cut off strongly, but the leaves are small there.
I do all the manipulations with plants according to the lunar calendar. All my garden life. And this will be exactly 40 years ago on September 2

[Elena]

Elena, so I also think - maybe it's just not mine. But I'll also see what happens after sedimentation and in a mixture, say, with a pear. I ask the tea-makers for clarification on raspberries - at what temperature should they be dried? What I copied from the forum is very contradictory: in one place it says that the frying is at 150, in the other - in no case higher than 70.?

[Tigger Striped]

Tigger Striped, look at Radushka's raspberry recipe, very good

Last year I made Ivan tea and also Ivan tea with cherries, I didn't add it anywhere else. I did all the village without Ivanushka. And I really liked the apple tree with cherry. And this year Ivan decided to make tea, apple tree, cherry. Today I packed it in a parcel and almost went crazy with the scent! I also packed the apple tree with cherry, but the triple mix surpassed the flavor! I will still do it, this is not tea, but a fairy tale! In general, with teas there is such a scope for creativity, a different ratio, different scents and tastes are already different, some are tastier than others. My husband drinks a lot of tea, but if he took the box, he will drink it until it ends, he likes it very much, and then he takes another and is surprised that one is tastier than the other. The daughter does more cunning, drinks different teas according to her mood. And the grandson got hooked on my teas, asks only to make tea for him. And I constantly thank Lyudmila in my mind for her work on creating these wonderful recipes.

[Hope]

Hope, directly voiced my thoughts!

[Elena]

ElenaRadushkin is my first item. There is just a fry. But I was embarrassed that in another place it says: "Above 80 is impossible - essential oils!"

So this is about currants.

[Elena]

Elena, I have it at the point with raspberries ... Maybe I copied it by mistake? Thank you, then I will fry!

[Tigger Striped]

Tigger Striped, do the fry part, the part no. Who knows what they like best? All my tea consumers like the roasted tea. It does not have a taste, but an aftertaste!
