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

Has anyone tried making tea from lemongrass leaves?

I repeat myself !:
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. The berry is also tasty, but peculiar. It is called the berry of five flavors. It has bitter and sour and sweet and salty and spicy tastes! The berry has a slightly spruce aroma. In teas it is very tasty, and just a delicious, ground with sugar!

Natasha, I recommend subscribing to mailing lists of topics that interest you so that you do not have to answer the same question with an interval of every 2 days! You will always be aware of all the news and answers!

[filirina]

filirina, Irina, thank you very much for your reply!
I tried to grind the berries that year with sugar, I don't taste very good, not mine, and I didn't notice the effect. And this year there are no berries, so I walk around the bush, I think how to peel it off ... The leaves, as I understand it, are better frozen, they are harsh, but then how, do you need to ferment and how much ...? If you have already discussed this, please poke me ...

[Sweetheart]

SweetheartThank you Tanechka, I will know that this is growing here too, maybe I'll try it sometime!

Leaves, as I understand it, are better to freeze, they are harsh, but then how, you need to ferment and how much ...? If you have already discussed this, please poke me ...

No, it was not discussed. Do according to the recipe, you can't go wrong!
I didn't do mono, only in the mix. I never freeze the leaves. I ferment to a clearly pleasant aroma.

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, Tanyuha are you okay? Miss you!

[tysia]

tysia, Natalia, when my husband brought lemongrass, she would pick berries from a brush, put them in a 3-liter jar and pour sugar into the jar. I did not press or wipe anything, only syrup was used.
Added to tea for 1-2 hours. l of syrup, gave strength, it was possible to make preparations until midnight, and in the morning she went to work vigorously. At that time I was 30 years old, my blood pressure was low, so lemongrass helped. But it becomes quickly addictive and increases the pressure, I'm talking about berries.

[francevna]

francevna, Alla, berries do not help me. I have just low blood pressure, plus working at a computer in an office without windows at all, a deaf box, as a result - lethargy, constant fatigue, headache, by the evening I am dead, I can only cook dinner. What have not just tried ... the last hope for lemongrass remains.

Natasha, then you don't need leaves, but lemongrass twigs. They will be more powerful. You can also ask for eleutherococcus tincture at the pharmacy. But all the time the body cannot be stimulated, even by natural means! It is necessary to look for the cause of lethargy - lack of sleep, overwork, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes ... there can be many reasons.

[filirina]

filirina, was checked, everything is normal ... lack of sleep is possible, but the main thing, it seems to me, is precisely the lack of oxygen and natural light ...
So my lemongrass is waiting for a general haircut!

Lutik, Hi, Ninochka! Thank you for worrying) I opened my gums, I'm dying for the third day: girl_cray: I'll write in PM.

You must write me later how you made the turn and whether you liked it. I already wrote, I have it immeasurably.
At the end of the month, I smelled and brewed all my teas. The apple-cherry-raspberry mix is ​​the best for me.Such a delicate, delicate aroma, even Gleb (son) drank without adding shop tea. But I remember that you like teas with a pronounced smell and taste with us, so I'm wondering what you can do.

Good day !
I also decided to make a tea. Husband chopped raspberries, it became a pity to throw them away.
Went down, froze for two days.
It turned with difficulty, the meat grinder is mechanical. (The husband said that he no longer wanted tea)
Got fermented for 7 hours.
Now I'm dry, with grief in half.
The stove in the village is gas Belarusian Hephaestus, the minimum temperature is about 130 degrees.
But with the door open, I think it turned out to be about 70.
The baking sheet is tiny, the layer turned out to be thick, it has been drying for the third hour.
There were two problems - how to determine readiness and, well, a very strong smell.
A dear friend went fishing, said that he was already sick, and that it was good that it was not in the city, otherwise the neighbors would have called the drug control already.
To be honest, I am already feeling nauseous, and my head ached terribly.
Is that how it should be, or did we do something wrong?

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, I will definitely write, the twists are still delaying me, the peach and tomatoes have begun. I’ll find an hour and for tea, the most unbearable, thorns we also have darkness! And I'll try like you, apple cherry raspberry - this is also darkness!

Added Wednesday 27 Jul 2016 07:48 PM

Podmosvichka, Lena, you are all right! We have a raspberry guru Radushka - she will tell you everything about raspberries! Try the brewed tea faster, and sign off on the taste!

[Podmosvichka]

Podmosvichka, Elena, fruity smell, dry little by little, in a thin layer. I don't do much at once, the oven is gas.
I always like the smell, nothing like that

nauseous, and a terrible headache

[Radushka]

Good time everyone! I hasten to share what happened.

The other day I finished raspberries, but there is no aroma, we will wait for a month

Dry tea did not acquire a smell. We tried to brew it I liked it very much! And there is color and aroma! There were guests, they put experiments on them: instead of black tea, they served raspberries at the table, the result was that they drank the whole samovar. This TEA will be with me !!!!
They made tea from the leaves of pear-apple-strawberry-cherry (1: 1: 1: 1), the advice to put cherries 10% of the mass was seen when the tea was ready. Who will make tea for the first time - the cherry interrupts all the smells! But the tea turned out and this is the main thing! I drink drinks without sugar, so this brew seemed sweet to me.
Sadness - my meat grinder died And after all the shitty - the plastic parts are intact and the metal octagon on the sleeve has worn off.
AND YES !!! I bought myself an Axion! Well, I can’t be left without tea, because I’ve just started drinking tea! Cool, this meat grinder eats everything, my complete delight! I read specialized topics, and chose her, thanks for the necessary topics, I would even look at her.
My husband and I went to abandoned dachas. We collected the leaves from the wild pear (sorry for our house), we also found the wild raspberry, but the truth is not enough. At home, they added garden raspberries to it, everything wilted, moved to the freezer. Tomorrow I have a day off I'll go pick the leaves of the sucker, I want to try the mix on the advice Radushka raspberry-pear-goof and another mix of raspberry-apple tree.

[Oksana]

Oksana, good luck! Let the "vastness of plans" not decrease!

Added Wednesday 27 Jul 2016 08:23 PM

Podmosvichka, Elena, no need to dry in a thick layer! Only thin! I also have a very small oven. The usual batch of tea from 1 kg of leaves is dried on no less than 6 trays (that is, for 6 runs). Each baking sheet is dried for about 30 minutes (10 at 150, 10 at 125, 10 at 100), then I transfer it to the dryer and dry it there for about an hour. Three baking sheets are placed on one tray of the dryer. Smell when drying raspberry jam

[OKSANA 34]

OKSANA 34, Oksana, what model?

Oksana, which model?

We bought AXION M 32.01 - a budget version, from AXION M 31.01 it is distinguished by the absence of a reverse, but I have never used it in an old meat grinder for eight years. I don't like any additional attachments (well, I don't use them), so my choice fell on this model. Which is convenient for you, it's up to you

It is distinguished by the absence of reverse, but in the old meat grinder for eight years I have never used it.

In vain they did not take with a reverse. This function is very helpful when twisting garden plants. And some without a reverse can not be twisted at all! Reverse is not a nozzle, but a reverse function

[OKSANA 34]

OKSANA 34, Oksana, thank you.

Reverse is not a nozzle, but a reverse function

I meant shredder type attachments. Cherries were twisted in an old meat grinder, ochchen stuck! I tried to turn on the reverse (for the first and last time), but it did not help much, I had to disassemble it. In the new meat grinder everything flew with a bang, without disassembling the parts and stopping the process. Maybe, of course, I'll regret it later, but so far

Girls do not wake up when drying them in the dryer? I have a breeze with trails. Loved to ferment in a slow cooker. The smell was strong. The cup didn't smell like that on the table.

[Barquentine]

Barquentine, Natalochka, there are very large holes in the dryer, tea will pour. I have izidri, so her native nets, which are placed on a pallet, also have cells that are quite large for tea. Everyone gets out as best they can: they put "window" grids. I cut my grandmother's old tulle

See the tray on top? There are millimeter holes. Only a little trash wakes up

[Lutik]

Lutik, Nina, Anatolyevna, Antonina, Radushka, girls thanks for the advice
My husband knocked me down, pour it all out, otherwise it will burn so much gas, golden tea will turn out
We have main gas, an expensive infection
It seems to have dried up, the smell has disappeared, I poured it into a pillowcase, tomorrow my husband will hang it in the attic, it is dry and hot, it’s just for drying.
Already planned for tomorrow, the Majesty is collecting a pear, I will rip off the currants, otherwise the yellowing has begun.
In the village, most likely I will no longer dry, I will wither and freeze, everything else in the city.
I have a normal electric oven, with convection, with two levels, it will dry out normally.
And you can dry it in the bathroom. We have our own boiler room in our house, heating all year round. With closed doors, the bathroom is like in the attic.

Good day !
I also decided to make a tea. Husband chopped raspberries, it became a pity to throw them away.
Went down, froze for two days.
It turned with difficulty, the meat grinder is mechanical. (The husband said that he no longer wanted tea)
Got fermented for 7 hours.

Is that how it should be, or did we do something wrong?

My opinion. Ideally divided into 2 parts. The second would be fermented. Ibi 3 hours in the oven confuses me a lot. I put it off after the pies. Dries up by morning.

[Podmosvichka]

Podmosvichka, Elena, well, finally you came to us! All the time I wondered how you, with your thirst for everything new and love for experiments, did not come earlier. Well, they wrote to you about the mistakes, but the main thing is it turned out! Dried tea shouldn't have a smell.
And the husbands, they are like that, my that in the first year looked with irony, but kept quiet and helped to twist it manually, then he bought an electric meat grinder especially for tea, he drinks teas with pleasure, he himself looks where there are thickets of Ivanushki, which I have not yet "processed" ... So good luck to you!
OKSANA 34, I'm glad that the tea turned out. I am doubly happy for the meat grinder, I myself looked at the Axion.
All a good and fruitful day!

I support Axion! My batch of well-baked fireweed calmly twisted, did not even stumble even once! I only had time to push the leaves, sometimes I helped lightly with a pusher.For half an hour I twisted it twice, the granules are just a sight for sore eyes, I can’t get enough of it! It roars, it is true, strongly, but I can survive it!

[Yanka]

Yanka,

Can I brag?!?!?!?
Here, blackberry

last night I wrapped it in a duvet cover, in the morning I put it in the freezer along with the duvet cover, after work I will defrost it, twist it and leave it overnight for fermentation, in the morning I will dry it in the oven for 100 hours and put it in drying. Did I plan everything right?

[olgea]

olgea, everything is correct! Only ... you will defrost it when, look at the leaves! if they are wet after thawing, turn them until the excess moisture evaporates! And then twist it. From experience ... the black chokeberry can be fried (briefly at 150), it will not lose its smell, like currants

[Radushka]

Radushka, Thank you, but how to fry correctly? should you interfere constantly?

[olgea]

olgea, I have a very small baking sheet. As a guideline ... Well, have you seen an ordinary wooden spoon? 4-5 heaped spoonfuls of these are my baking sheet. I heat up the oven (I have an electric one, shades and top and bottom), put a baking sheet with tea. Timer for 5 minutes. Tink ... grab the edges of the bedding (parchment for baking) and collect the "slide" in the center of the baking sheet. Then I distribute evenly with my bare hand, trying to get the central tea on the edge. Timer again for 5 minutes. Tink ... stirred it again (passively) and set the regulator to the main temperature. Then I interfere passively every 10 minutes. Well, I don’t interfere in the dryer. Swap pallets if necessary

[Radushka]

Radushkahow well you told me everything, right before my eyes, the drying process decomposed on the shelves. Thank you so much.

[olgea]

olgea, Happy tea!

[Good afternoon girls]

Good afternoon girls! Health failed a bit, dropped out of life. Now it's better and I want to do what brings pleasure.
We have such a wonderful and useful tree as ziziphus. It tastes like a date. I dry it, dry it. But now I'm thinking about tea
What do you think?

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, do the "pack" test! And so ... tannins, it seems, are present. Try it. Then you will tell us

A friend is leaving for the sea, I will feed the dog for a week, look behind the house. She has such a garden !!! Everything is There is where to roam))) But everything, damn it, everything is sprinkled. She just kills my whole dream. Well that's what? Absolutely nothing will come out of washed, right?

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, it will turn out. You can't wash off the splash just by washing. It soaked inside long ago

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, I also have zyzyfus-though there are almost no berries, there is not enough pollinator. already asked, no one has done it yet. Be the first to do it!

Added Thursday, 28 Jul 2016 15:52

I could not stand it, and I do, that is, dry mono thorn! The smell of drying is almond, I will taste it tomorrow!

[Radushka]

Radushka, she says she has some bio-chemicals. No, well, of course, I cling to the desire to dry and create, but sprinkled leaves are not an option ((((No, I will not risk it.

Added Thursday, Jul 28, 2016 3:54 PM

Lutik, Ninok! Well, you know)))) I'm really, really looking forward to your opinion!) My hands itch)

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, well, write at least what the "chemicals" are. Now there is just a culture of bacteria or fungi that replace disease-causing ones, like the culture of lactic acid from kefir-yogurt in our intestines. Then it's a harmless squirting

[Radushka]

Radushka, you reassured me))), already wrote to her in the vibe. She's at work. He will see, answer, and I'll whistle to you))) I'm generally a layman in a similar topic, I have no garden.

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, Tatyana, for two years made tea from washed leaves, they were constantly dusty and dirty after the rain. I washed the leaves well, then squeezed them out in a manual centrifuge to dry the greens, wither and further, as expected ...
This year the leaves are clean, so I do the first year without washing.

[Allus]

Allus, I still don’t bother about dust. I watered with a hose a couple of days before breaking it off, then I try to climb a tree higher from the ground (this is me about my thorny, apple, cherry and cherry) or deep into the bush with my hands (currants, raspberries).So it is with mint. But chemistry treatment is somehow sad

[OKSANA 34]

OKSANA 34, We bought an axion today, only we took another model a little more powerful. The leaves have not been rolled yet, but a small orange juice has been requested

[Radushka]

Radushka, answered a friend: Microbiological preparation Guapsin.

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, It is harmless! tear calmly!

Added Thursday, Jul 28, 2016 7:49 PM

I didn’t wait tomorrow, I made tea from thorns! (n) Didn't like it! The color is dirty green, bitter, the taste is present, but I can not read it yet! Maybe I'm somewhere. then she made a mess, maybe she fried it hard! I think to throw it away or wait at least a month! : swoon: Girls who wanted to try mono from the turn, try it! You need at least two teas for a verdict!

[Lutik]

Lutik, don't throw it away. After all, many wrote that later the taste and aroma can change. Do not worry! Only by trial and error will you get what you like over time)))) !!!

[Lutik]

Lutik, Nina, maybe it's not very good in mono tea, but you add something else to it and try that tea.

[lily_a]

lily_a, Lily, the temperature in the oven was 50-60 degrees, so it was more likely to dry out.
She didn't hang the pillowcase in the attic. You can't get in there one more time to shake her. We are now over 30 in the afternoon, tied it to the frame handle, ventilated all day. The smell is weak, but there is still. I will dry while it is hot in a warm draft. We will see further

[Podmosvichka]

Podmosvichka,Elena, here is a quote from the description Lyudmila:
"Well-dried tea is practically odorless, emits a dry rustling sound when shaken in a bag. If the tea emits a strong aroma, then it is not dry yet. Granules of well-dried tea do not crumble or crush, but break."
So, maybe he is already as it should)))) In a month or two you will find out))
