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

Probably everyone is gathering leaves for tea.
I went today myself, cut off the turn for mono, I look, and already the blackberry ripens! I picked up some blackberry leaves at the same time. A tea mix is ​​planned for tomorrow: pear - apple tree - plum - raspberry - strawberry - blackthorn - bird cherry - a little cherry - meadow geranium. And next weekend in the plans (I like to plan))) tea from apple and raspberry with blackberries 50/50, plus blackberries.
Another question for those who added viburnum, sea buckthorn and sucker leaves to the village, what effect do they give? I haven't collected them yet, I want to ask those who tried it.

[Yulia]

Yulia, Loch did last season with cherries. But, she collected it when it bloomed. Then I didn't like the tea. Too strong taste of sucker. And recently I smelled it, and it smells so delicious! Floral honey! Well, I mixed it with other "unsuccessful" teas and we drink with pleasure. Lina says that the sucker is astringent. To be honest, I did not notice the astringency. But, we live in different latitudes. And this greatly affects plants.
Gathered today for one more batch of currant tea currant leaves. I will add both apple and strawberries to the steam. It seems that I will no longer have more currants for a separate tea. Add current to the rustic.

Girls, I'm completely new here)) So much you've read here ... The whole kitchen is in leaves)) Has anyone tried to ferment blueberries? Or can it be dried only for medicinal purposes?

[Anja]

Anja, We also made blueberries, even this year, but I don’t remember the reviews, it’s too confusing to collect and twist them - the sheet is small.
With a sucker, Lina sent me-sooo soulful seagulls, but she has 4-5 smelts in each mix.

[Good afternoon, girls !!!]

Good afternoon, girls !!! : a-kiss: Today I made my own mix: cherry, apple, blackthorn and a bit of cherry. Spun 2 times, then fermented and in the oven for 100 *, then at a minimum. The smell was very cool. I can't say what the groin is about, but it's definitely nice) Now it's drying in a bag, but it's brewed for you to show it. I liked it, it feels like I'm drinking black tea with some unobtrusive fruity note.



In the photo: after the first large lattice, then sent to the small one. After drying (greenish granules). Well, brewed (transparent as a tear)!

Radushka, and I again come to you for help, today in the forest I collected forest raspberries (leaves), I want to try to mix with cherries on your advice, yesterday I looked after young cherry growth, how many cherries are needed, about the same volume or weight. It seems to me that cherry leaves will be "heavier", that is, they will be smaller in volume. I don't know if she explained it clearly? I'm afraid that the granules will not crumble.

Victoria, I would be more afraid of the thermonuclear aroma of cherries than the scattered granules. In the experience of girls, cherries can be added to mixes, no more than 10%. Otherwise, you just won't be able to drink, it will score everything and everyone. (Of course, we take into account not the volume, but the weight)

[Victory me]

Victory me, literally a day ago Radushka advised me the same thing-10%, no more.

[Tatka1]

Tatka1And I don't have enough fortress, maybe I'll get used to it!

[Ninul]

Ninulwhich ones are missing?

But my fortress is not enough

Nina, if there is not enough fortress, then this is not a tea topic!

[Tatka1]

Tatka1Maybe the tea is still not very infused, I don't know from what, I did not sign the first teas. And maybe in vain I am raging from fat!

I support. I recently ruined a great batch of boxes with cherries ...

ruined a great batch of boxes with cherries

In in! Therefore, my opinion, cherry, is only mono! And then add or not .... you can according to your mood. But you definitely won't spoil it!

[Lutik]

Lutik, Ninochka, add a couple of tablespoons of black tea to the mixture and you will be very happy!)) My son drinks this way.

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, We also drank like that, something I got freaked out, every day I stick my nose in cans, and I keep looking for something.

Once I wrote that I dried lemon leaves and they did not make me happy. Well at least I didn't throw it away, but put it in a glass jar. Yesterday I opened it, and the aroma is as strong as if a fragrance was added.
I brewed my own tea, a lemon leaf and a little mint (a year ago I dried it in a dryer at +35)
I have never drunk such a delicious tea and aroma, and after repeated brewing, the aroma was preserved.

Girls, and they promised me to bring some lemongrass to ferment it or just dry it? I don't even know what it is

[Mila1]

Mila1, Google to help you! Healing thing!

I don’t understand what’s going on with my meat grinder ... I used to twist it first through a large grate, then through the middle one, there were no problems. Today, on the second scroll, the mass adhered to the walls and the shaft, and nothing came out with the granules. I dry it the way it turned out - it's hard to call it granules. Maybe there are some secrets?
The composition of the tea is approximately the same as in the previous batches, no new ingredients were added.

[Sonya Mitina]

Today, on the second scroll, the mass adhered to the walls and the shaft, and nothing came out with the granules.

Sonya Mitina, Yulia, maybe the leaves were not finished.

I don’t understand what’s going on with my meat grinder

Yulechka, it is quite possible that the knife is dull. The leaves quickly dull the knife. I have the same nonsense. I'll sharpen it tomorrow. Since yesterday the whole mass was coked up inside the meat grinder in one continuous mass

Dried, as usual, most likely the point is in the knife. Thanks for the advice!

[Sonya Mitina]

most likely it's the knife

Sonya Mitina, Yulia, then you have to sharpen

As far as I understand, you can sharpen in the same place as knives?

[Sonya Mitina]

Sonya Mitina, Yulia, I sharpen and grind the grate myself. Spied on YouTube

[Yulia]

Yulia, the knives from the grinder are sharpened on a flat stone.

Like this:

or like this:

bring some lemongrass

Awesome thing! Made in a garden mix and leaves and berries. It contains substances that stimulate the nervous system. Very invigorating! In its pure form, I would not, otherwise you never know, the pressure can raise, overexcite. But in the mix, that's it! Both the taste and aroma are very pleasant on the leaves. I am also delicious, but peculiar. It is called the berry of five flavors. It has bitter and sour and sweet and salty and pungent tastes! The berry has a slightly spruce aroma. In teas it is very tasty, and just a delicious, ground with sugar!

[filirina]

filirina, Ira, thank you very much !!! Now I really want to try

[Sonya Mitina]

Sonya Mitina, Julia, I also had such garbage. Made cherries for the first time, super, neat granules. The second time it is the same, but it keeps getting fatty, and in incomprehensible pieces and clogs in the pipe: girl_cray1: Only I'm crazy ... I threw everything out right away
I think it's not a matter of a meat grinder, after that I did others and everything is ok.

everything greasy climbs, pieces of incomprehensible and clogs in the pipe

I chose all this and cut it with a knife. I dried everything together.

[Light]

Light, is it on the finest sandpaper you need to sharpen? Something I doubt that I can master ten minutes to make circular movements.))) Maybe it's better to sharpen it?

Girls, tell me, do you need to ferment polanica leaves or dry them like that?

[Sonya Mitina]

Sonya Mitina, Yulia, if possible, then of course give it back. I have an emery circle. I didn’t sharpen it for 10 minutes. There quickly. The circle rubbed longer.

[Radushka]

I chose all this and cut it with a knife. I dried everything together.

Of course, I had to do that too ... But I'm a nervous and impatient woman))

Now I brewed my own mix of apple 40% - cherry 10% - raspberry_50% with honey. Very delicate taste, transparent, strong granules. I don't adjust the photo, it looks exactly like in the previous photo. Of all their mixes, the nicest.
Radushka! I join the raspberry lovers club))) Wherever it is present, the mix is ​​cool!)

this on the finest sandpaper needs to be sharpened

Not on sandpaper, but on a fine-grained stone, and perfectly even! Wearing a grind in a grinder! It's easier to buy a stone and that's it! The leaves strongly blunt the knife and the net. And so rubbed in a circular motion 10 times and cuts everything again. And leaves and meat with veins. And sharpening knives on a stone is a pleasure. I bought it like a stone, so that's it, I keep sharpening knives myself, I don't even trust my husband. I have to have them like razors, otherwise I can kill you with a blunt knife in psychos!

cut with a blunt knife

from and me about the same)

Tanya, it's like in the movie "Station for Two" - herself, herself, herself ....

Join the raspberry lovers club

No, Radushka and I are a club of monomaline lovers!

I got a mix apple-pear-cherry EQUAL !!!, made a year and a month ago. Girls, don't put MORE than 10% cherries in the mix! She

STINKS!

smells very strong

Girls, thank you very much for the advice. I froze raspberries and an apple tree, yesterday I froze a little black currant and an apple-plum-black currant mix. All the same, I want to ask again, can I add something neutral to raspberries and cherries. Just don't know what, apple trees? pears? Plums? ... Because if raspberries are 90% - cherry-10%, you can not even dream of granules. And I am completely incapable of manual twisting. Or can I freeze and unfreeze raspberries several times? maybe after a few thaws raspberries will start spinning better?

[Irina]

Irina,

Victory me, Raspberries can also be granulated in mono. But more often than not. Please note that everywhere, in any mixes where cherries are present, the tea will smell like CHERRY! And the taste is cherry! Of course, of varying degrees of intensity. I have already made quite a few cherry teas where exactly 50% raspberry is added. Not for scent, but for color. Mono-cherry has no tea color.
Look ... If the raspberry-apple-tree mix is ​​equally Raspberry tea, then the raspberry-cherry - CHERRY!
If you want a mix with raspberries and cherries (10%), add an apple tree. The pear has its own very bright taste, which cherry will ruin

STINKS!

And I barely smell. What an infection!

And I barely smell. What an infection!

And I ... Groin ... We drank it a long time ago.

And why are you girls sometimes so mean ...

[Light]

Light, Svetik, maybe you have a different cherry? Well, if I knew that in a year it would almost smell like paint, I would never put so many cherries! I mixed equally with raspberries and did a lot of this, namely, for those who love cherry tea! Now they have color, smell and taste! And I will throw a little granules in the mood and that's it. My mono cherry turns worse than mixed with raspberries. So, here I also win

Elena_Kamch,

Drank it long ago

that's something, but I have cherries with raspberries, even if you eat your booty! What a pity that there is no way to forward

[Radushka]

Radushka, yeah, it's a pity, I would have waved Ivan tea.
By the way, I tried two-year carrot tea here. And I must tell you - it has changed a lot and for the better! That nasty taste that I didn't like is gone. Nothing really good. I'm surprised!

[Elena_Kamch]

Elena_Kamch, no, I won't make carrots. We already eat all the tops in winter in cooking faster than the roots!

Yes, it's me tvk .. I wrote to the general piggy bank of experience

And I barely smell. What an infection!

Sveta, cherry somewhere in a year begins to smell strongly, but at first it is modest ... And everyone has different tastes ... who stinks, and who smells strongly ... Well, if someone stinks strongly, then you can always mix with some kind of neutral tea ...
