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

[Radushka]

RadushkaWhich flavor predominates, currant or raspberry? I already want this!

[Victory me]

Victory me, lick my lips! I will also start drying the chopped currants-raspberries soon! I will report later

I look forward to !!!

Victory me, and how much fermented Ivanushka with cherries?

In general, it turned out 9-10 hours, I scrolled it around 22.00-22.30 last night, set the alarm for 5 in the morning, but could not get up, So I set it around 8 in the morning. But the smell was stunning, and not at the beginning of drying, but later, after 30 minutes. I hung it on the door handle in the nursery in a bag to dry it out, now it smells like cherry jam

[Nina]

Nina,

Which aroma prevails, currant or raspberry?

Currant

Girls, put their mojito on fermentation. It smells interesting. Worried...

Now I'm thinking: they don't cook mint, but what about my mixture? Or partially fry ...

mint is not welded, but what about my mixture? Or partially fry ...

Fry at 120 * C 2/3 of the mixture for 30 minutes, and then all the sushi at 60-65 * C.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, thanks for the advice!

[lily_a]

lily_a, Mono-currant did not. It will not be granulated alone. Loves currant Veronica paramed1. But, she has not been seen here for a long time. She seems to be making this tea without deviating from the recipe (first page).
I made three 50/50 currant teas. The report will be tomorrow

I think in the form of a recipe Currant Benefit

.
In the meantime, you can collect-wither-freeze

Thank you!
The question was the opposite. That is, I'm doing a rustic one. In some cases, there is no access to bird cherry and currant. And so: apple, raspberry, blackberry, cherry, strawberry, red mountain ash, viburnum, rose hips, irga. Complete flavor and tasty and aromatic. I like it very much. I want to understand what I'm losing.

Currant

And I dived into a jar with fireweed-currants already 5 times in the evening. Smells so delicious !!! But I got a tiny jar, although there is still a currant bush, but this is only for 1 batch
And I seem to have screwed up the last tea. Fried - translated to 100 degrees - forgot to interfere, mixed as much after 20 minutes - translated to 50 grams. and went to the station for my mother. Arrived - the oven was accidentally closed by the son. I poured dry tea into a bag. It seems that the smell of burnt paper is still present, and it's a pity to throw it away. Okay, I'll wait a week, if it doesn't fix it, I'll throw it away. I put in the 2nd batch of entogo wealth - so far I don't smell any smell. And there are so many things, at least something the same should appear

I dried the tea, it turned out 800 g, the granules turned out to be light because of the sucker, I wonder what kind of tea the color and taste will turn out. The aroma is so strong that all the windows had to be opened, the house is hot and stuffy now.

Girls, come in - get acquainted!

Fermented tea "Currant Benefit" from black currant leaves and other garden plants (Radushka)

: wow: Alla try already faster, it's time to sleep soon!

[Nina]

Nina, today I will not try, I will wait until morning.

[Good morning girls!]

Good morning girls! Due to the intense heat, the leaves on the trees are completely in a deplorable state. Only the sweet cherry is beautiful, green. Zachariah has a few words about cherries, she is not a favorite in the voting list ...
Maybe someone did it in a mix or mono, tell me, pliz, is it worth contacting.

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, Tatyana, made in a mix with grapes and sucker. I don't like tea with grapes because of the grapes (sour), but with sucker ...I didn't like it last year. And recently they got it, and he is very even!

[Radushka]

Radushka, Thank you!

[Lasto4ka]

Lasto4ka, Svetlana, well, how is it MOJITO?

tell me pliz is it worth contacting

Made in a garden mix. Very soft, unobtrusive, unlike cherry, gives the flavor of cherry glue. I really liked it, probably because in childhood this glue was eaten before the intestines stick together!

[Irochka]

Cool))) Thank you, Irochka!

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, I prepared the wild cherry leaves in the freezer and added the wild apple tree. It smelled really good when dried! a window will appear I will do, I will unsubscribe about the result!

[Ninok]

Ninok, I will wait) I have some apple and thorn leaves in my freezer. Probably I'll add to them!) Thanks for the answer!)

[Radushka]

Radushka, in the process. I put some in the dryer, some in the oven.
I have already sniffed so much that I no longer understand the aroma, but it is definitely there! I smell like mint with a slight hint of cherry. Husband smells of mint and grapes ...

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, that's where you take the leaves on the turn? We are passing by the thorns, since there, except for flowers and berries, have never seen anything! My blackthorn has NO leaves!

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 09:20 AM

Svetlana, really want to! I love mojito! If you succeed, I'll do it myself! Then, maybe, I will like the grapes in this tea drink And design the recipe, please!

And yet yes, good morning everyone !!

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 09:23 AM

A recipe ... for me it's still a Chinese letter!
But if everything works out, I will definitely share my experience with you!

[Radushka]

Radushka, I live in a private house and I have two trees growing near the fence. I cook compote from it and dry it in a dryer. They say the jam from it is delicious, but we still don't eat it.

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 09:25 AM

Lasto4ka, and tell me how your lemon basil feels)))

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, Tern is something, when withering it is not possible to enter the room - it smells already in the throat, itching!

[Nina]

Nina, my neighbors are already in shock that I hunt for leaves under every house) SchA, if you like the result, I feel more frequent outings) After all, nobody feels sorry for the leaves. Well, at least I think so.

[Radushka]

RadushkaThere are not many berries on our blackthorn, maybe the frost has pinched the flowers. And there are enough young leaves. look, now the young growth has gone.

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 09:57 AM

Tatka1, Tanyusha go to the meadows to the meadows! there is where to unfold! My already and stop resisting!

Damn, where is our Lyudaska? : girl_sad: I hope she's okay ....

She has something with the Internet, today her son has to go to the office.

Lasto4ka, tell me how your lemon basil feels)))

Tanya, she feels good! In a bag in the refrigerator!
Yesterday I was playing with mojito, and so a lot of things to do, hands did not reach him. Today I'll dry the tea and put the basil on a low temperature.
Dryer hardly turns off

[Lasto4ka]

Lasto4ka, these are pleasant chores! Let everyone be like this and enjoy!)

[Radushka]

I report on tea pear-loch-raspberry 20/40/40
Yesterday I wrote that the tea granules turned out to be light, but the brewing surprised me, it turned out black tea. Probably because of the pear, but there is not much of it.
Tea Spirit is very pleasant, like good expensive black tea. Undiluted it turned out very strong, I added half of the water to the tea leaves.
At first, the tea is sweet, and then there is a good bitterness, I think this is from a sucker. I will probably mix with other teas. The aroma from the bag is now very delicate, not the same as when it was dried.
Radushka, but I don't have a raspberry aroma like yours.

Lasto4ka, these are pleasant chores!

That's for sure! I myself do not understand why the process of making tea is such a pleasure! And hands hurt, and time takes, and it does not always work out, but still brings joy!
I put the basil to dry. Only it is probably not lemon, it smells of spicy cloves and pertusin!
Nothing, everything will go into business! How will I begin to shaman in winter: a pinch of this, a bunch of this!

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 12:24 pm

Mojito dried it, poured it into a pillowcase. While separately dried from fried. The dried one clearly smells of mint, but the second one smells more of black tea. Let them wash a little, then brew them separately as an experiment. I will definitely report.

[Alla]

two trees

TREE ??? I have never seen a teren in the form of a tree! The bushes are prickly to eerie! Isn't that what we call a thorny one? The plum is so ... shallow, blue. There are low trees. I marinate tomatoes with him sometimes, when mirabelle does not ugly

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 01:16 PM

Allamaybe the raspberries are different? I have two varieties in the city. And two in the village. Well, totally different in taste! And a friend has such a ... sour! Not even a raspberry scent is heard

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 01:17 PM

Svetlana, ha chu MOHITO!

[Radushka]

Yes, Radushka! It is such a plum. We all call her the turn. I'm different and don't know): girl_red: The photo is not attached from the tablet, otherwise I would send you)))

[francevna]

francevna, I made green mono from a sucker - does not taste bitter! Maybe there are different varieties of goof! Do not rush to add to other teas, let it dry ferment. girls have a lot of cases when a bad tea is then very surprising!

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 01:26 PM

Tatka1, Tanyusha ask Google to show you the turn!

I just googled))) Along the way, I have thorny
"The blackthorn (natural or artificial hybrid of blackthorn and homemade plum) has retained most of the positive qualities of the blackthorn. However, its fruits are much larger (up to 3 cm in diameter), they are less tart and sweeter. And the thorns on its shoots are much smaller, which makes it easier harvesting."
No thorns, small leaves)

I made green mono from a sucker - it does not taste bitter!

It doesn't taste bitter for me either, although I don't make mono tea from it, but add it to the mixes. But astringency and aroma definitely adds

Along the way, I'm thorny

Here I am. Although there are a lot of thorns, the fruits are 3 cm exactly and sweet and sour. I constantly make teas with her, add to mixes. And I make sauces from fruits. Jams are not fragrant with her.

Girls, thank you so much for the advice on the thorny! Otherwise, everyone praises the blackthorn as a raw material for tea, but I can't find leaves from it!
And I made a plum last year, so I absolutely didn’t like it!
And, here, I have stubbornness. And I can collect leaves from it on the weekend!

[Radushka]

Radushka, I have not met a thorny plum, and you can take a thorn in your mouth only after frost, then it almost does not knit. small round ball, and so astringent that the mouth is difficult to close. now released young shoots without thorns, easy to collect, just pull off.

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 02:12 PM

Linadoc, with greed, she picked up a sucker along with flowers during flowering, the smell was great. when twisting gave a lot of juice, you can see the flowers are not crushed. but nothing, I added tea rose petals and meadowsweet flowers, it turned out super!

[Ninochka]

Ninochka, well, now I'm sure, I'm definitely thorny))) Live and learn!)

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, You will also have a turn! Then compare the tastes! And for the first time I heard that there is a thorny plum!

[Radushka]

Girls, come in - get acquainted!

Fermented tea "Currant Benefit" from black currant leaves and other garden plants (Radushka)

Radushka, thanks for the recipe !!! For repeating the necessary nuances in tea making for us beginners!

I began to make fruit teas not only because of their pleasant taste and aroma, but also because of their benefits for the body.
And in this regard, I am tormented by the question: are we not destroying all the useful substances in tea by repeated defrosting and freezing of leaves ???

[Radushka]

Radushka, Thanks for the recipe! I did it too, but I added cherry plum with burgundy leaves to the currants for color and granules. Interesting and delicious!

I also have a turn, I'm already mowing on it. Only the tree is still young, there will not be very many leaves, with what would you advise to mix? The blackberry grows nearby, how is it with her? There are plenty of wild apple trees in the area. Well, the whole garden is planted with cherries on three sides ...

[Yanka]

Yanka. I will do on the weekend thorns, cherries and apple trees. Then I will report back.

what would you advise to mix with?

I make mixes like reported here... Approximately, plus or minus something.

Girls, I continue to experiment with garden and forest. Dried Vanechka with cherry-pear-honeysuckle.Brewed: the aroma is clearly pronounced cherry, the color itself is so, lighter than the usual fireweed. The taste is also so-so, I would say some kind of damp, grassy or something, although cherry is guessed in the aftertaste. I sent it for dry fermentation - I'll wait.

Thawed the last 2 packages - raspberries and apple trees, about 50/50. Scrolled, the granules do not want to hold at all. What the??? After double scrolling, I put it on fermentation, I think 3-4 hours will be enough. In the evening I'll dry it (if it doesn't completely crumble).

[Lichka]

Lichka, Angela,

do we not destroy all the beneficial substances in tea by repeated thawing-freezing of the leaves ???

All microelements are preserved in tea, which, in principle, cannot go anywhere.
Our tea gurus repeat many times - we do not make a medicine, not a herbal tea, not a vitamin drink, but a DELICIOUS drink with a large set of useful qualities and the absence of harmful ones that constantly "look" at us from the store shelves!
Lina will come in, maybe she will do it again for beginners?

Added Wednesday 20 Jul 2016 04:29 PM

In the evening I'll dry it (if it doesn't completely crumble).

If they crumble, you still need to dry it! The quality of the granules does not affect the taste and color! I brew absolute dust and everything is very tasty!
By the way, I took the leaves of different apple trees last year and the granules were good. And in this ... also not very ... I have the Leaves of the White filling. Now I'll start to carry Renet Semerenko, then I will compare

Yesterday my husband brought a large colorful box of tea bags

(gave it to him)

6 varieties of black and green with additives. Of these, 10 varieties are flavored and only two are natural with mint and lemon.
It's great that our teas are all natural.
It's a pity the cardboard box.
