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

[Likar Nadiya]

Likar Nadiya, Nadya, how is your mulberry? have not tried (sniff and brew) anymore?

Girls, good afternoon, everyone. Today I tried their blackberry tea. To be honest, I didn't really understand anything, it was brewed very weakly and when the brewed leaves fall into the mouth, they are slippery. Is this how it should be or did I do something wrong?
Here's how it turned out

My blackberry tea is also not very dark, I don't feel a special aroma, although my husband and daughter say that it is very fragrant. I love the taste of good black tea, with a mild flavor and light astringency. Lyudmila has a different description of it in the recipe. Maybe the varieties of blackberry are different? And the granules of both cherries and black chops are slippery, but I do not taste them.

Today I brewed blackberry tea and dried it yesterday.

Devchuli, and what a goof also does not give granules? I put it on for a couple of hours to ferment, then in the refrigerator. I will dry it tomorrow. I forgot to unfreeze and freeze. I took it out of the freezer, it thawed quickly. I started doing the laundry and put the leaves in the freezer. Then I took it out and processed it.

Good evening!
I liked the tea: Raspberry 61%, blackberry 3%, cherry 11%, apple 23%, pear 2%. Weight of dried components. Meat grinder - granulated.
Fermentation for 5-5.5 hours. Fry in a skillet for 3 minutes with white steam. Then it cools down with stirring. The color is beautiful. The taste is black - slightly sweet. I began to understand Iris - raspberries are a thing !!!

[Light]

Light, does not give goof pellets! I mixed with cherries. With her, there are tiny granules

raspberries are a thing !!!

[Radushka]

Radushka, Thank you!

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, Tatyana, I still zakoyal and removed him. I don't like the fermented one yet. Steamed made a leafy smell and color of green tea, and the taste is like fermented tea, just slightly weaker. Maybe I did something wrong with the boy ... The leaves were dark after steaming. Only a couple of leaves were light as in the recipe, the cat was younger. Maybe it will stand better? Although the mother-in-law liked it.

The father-in-law, seeing how I process another batch of leaves, now says that I am preparing a potion. He likes this tea, he does not drink store tea, he cooks for himself, dries a tea rose, linden blossom, hawthorn with rose hips and other herbs. Our tea is praised.

The first mous-apple tree, dogwood, raspberry, chokeberry, black currant are dried in the oven. Everything has faded, twisted. Fermented for 10 hours. After 2 hours, the blanket was clearly pulled by the blackberry, then an apple appeared, and by the time of drying everything was so balanced with dogwood !!! And during drying, it smells of good black tea with some sour fruit (dogwood gives acid, it smells of grape leaves after fermentation)

Girls, it happened! I sniffed raspberries!
I made a steamed leaf in a multicooker. It smells like mortality! Such a caramelized jam.
The granules turned out. Check it out

This double scrolling works wonders. First, I scroll on a large grid to make it easier for my meat grinder, and then I put the middle one (3 mm). And now the second time she gives me SUCH worms!

Added Wednesday 10 Aug 2016 11:14 PM

Apparently, my first raspberry was not fermented, and there is no such smell near ... But I mix it, it gives a good color and strength

Added Wednesday 10 Aug 2016 11:15 PM

I put raspberries and mulberries. I'll go twist.

[LightOchk,]

I made a steamed leaf in a multicooker.It smells like mortality!

LightOchk, happy tea!

Today I collected Mojito ingredients in the rain. Wrong, but when I still have grapes. And with cherries and mint. I wither.

[lily_a]

lily_a, Lilechka, it will still work out. Sometimes I even wash the leaves

Added Wednesday 10 Aug 2016 11:50 PM

Twisted the steamed mulberry. Smells softer than just fermented. I will taste tomorrow

[Lasto4ka]

Lasto4ka, I always twist twice too, I like the view so much))
I understand correctly: have you been steaming in a multicooker for 12 hours?
I read-read Zechariah's recipe, but never did ...

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, Tanya, I deviated from the recipe a little, proceeded from my own capabilities. In time, it turned out almost 9 hours. I put raspberries in a cartoon in a bag, opened the bag and covered it with a dry cloth. She put another bag on top, with mulberry, also opened it and covered it with a towel. I closed the lid and put it in the "heating" mode. The instructions say that in this mode the temperature is 65-75 °. It seems like a bit too much, but no one really knows what temperature is kept in the "warm Russian oven"
So it was almost an experiment.
The leaves got straight hot and drier than before the bookmark. I turned it on the meat grinder 2 times, because after the first dust it fell, especially from the mulberry.
The smell delighted me. I will brew later

[Lasto4ka]

Lasto4ka, Svetik, when I was making my first tea, I followed Luda's instructions clearly: wilting, freezing, fermentation, drying. Then, while reading the topic, the second scroll and the method of Zechariah appeared.
Now I don't do mono, I like the mixes more. I just got used to it, here: bang) it turns out a steamed way, more people began to praise)))
Therefore, I want to do it already, based on the experience of others)))
If you are so inspired, tell me about your experiment.
You didn't dry out, but straight into the cartoon? Then I twisted it twice and dried it, right? I have a 35-40 degree yogurt regimen. I understand better on this mode then?

Something the sucker does not smell very much. I'm drying it.

Girls, give a link to stewed tea, please!

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, nope. Tanya, we need a mode of languor. Or, if there is a master chef, then set the temperature from 60 to 80. Yogurt is up to 40. It will not be enough

Light, what do you mean - "not really"? Can't be more specific?

Added Thursday 11 Aug 2016 10:21 AM

mironirina,

Green tea from the leaves of garden and wild plants + Bonus - dried strawberry tails (Zachary)

Green tea - fermentation in Brand 100 yogurt maker and Brand 701 multicooker (MariV)

[Radushka]

Radushka, when I read Zakhariya's recipe, I realized that 60-80 degrees is needed, but Svetik wrote that 65-75 is a bit too much, so I was confused))
I'll try, probably the next mix using this method.

[Radushka]

what do you mean - "not very"? Can't be more specific?

Radushka, grass or what? I don’t understand. It smells of damp freshly cut grass. And the smell dries stronger and is not clear - herbaceous.

[Light]

Light, I smelled like BAD! It is difficult to confuse it with something. But, I made tea during the blooming sucker. I'm going now too. But I can't get to my tree

[Radushka]

Radushka, and I smelled like grass when I picked it up and sniffed it.

[Light]

Light,

[Radushka]

Radushka, something baked. I dry in an electric / oven at 150 with an open door. Top ten included.

[Light]

Light, and I turn both on. Well, anyway, you have to dry it and try. And don't throw it away, even if you don't like it. I'm so glad I didn't throw away my last year!

[Tatka1]

Tatka1, Tanya, dried the leaves before laying, as usual. In the jergurtnitsa, it seems to me, the temperature is too low. 30-40 ° is the same normal fermentation (almost).
And Zakhariy hovered first at 60, then at 50. That is why I thought that I had a bit too much. But everything worked out. I like the aroma of steamed mulberry even more than the usual fermented one. Tender, or something.
There is nothing to compare raspberries with yet, because my "fermented" was not fermented

Posted Thursday, 11 Aug 2016 11:42

Light, maybe your sucker is not fermented? He has a dry leaf, like a raspberry

[Radushka]

Radushka, of course I will not throw it away. I will wait and try.

Added Thursday, 11 Aug 2016 12:02 PM

maybe your sucker is not fermented?

Lasto4ka, Svetochek, and maybe not fermented. I don’t know anymore. Stood 2 hours. Lina said that after freezing fermentation, 1.5 hours is enough.

Who else, but without a freezer, I like to ferment for 8-16 hours. Personally, the smell tastes better to me.
It seems I understood how the taste of prunes is obtained from raspberries: frying in a frying pan - the layer is too thick - not dry enough, did not have time - the way home in a package for 4-5 hours ("reaches") - dry. Can anyone check? I have no leaves yet.

[lily]

lily,

raspberries taste like prunes

Mine always has one taste - unsweetened raspberry jam! (I always fry)

Good evening. Help to identify. Today I went out of town, collecting Ivan tea. I found an apple tree, and near it, small trees with berries, maybe someone knows what it is? [img]

Most likely viburnum. Have you tasted it? The stone in the berry is flat, the taste is bitter-sour, the aroma is specific, for an amateur.
A very tasty and medicinal plant.

Thank you. I tried it, the grain is flat, it means viburnum. Can I use it for tea?

Someone wrote what he did in the mix, it seemed like he liked it. I personally didn't. I really respect berries. For colds and flu, the most is in winter.

[Windicy]

Windicy, Andrei, this is viburnum. Ira told you right. But tea turns out from it specific ... If only add to mixes.

[Andrei]

Andrei, like a viburnum! Berries are bitter before frost. And I won't say for the leaves, I didn't do it either, but I would add a bit to the mix ...

lappl1, Lyudochka, you are here!) Welcome back!) With your light hand, we have already "venerated" teas!)) 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Thank you all, I'll try to mix viburnum with Ivan-tea. Yes, and on the other side of the apple tree some other berries are growing. Similar to viburnum, but the leaves are different. Maybe a buckthorn? [img]

[Nadyushich]

Lyudmila has a different description of it in the recipe. Maybe the varieties of blackberry are different?

Nadyushich, Nadia, the black chokeberry has different varieties. We need a savage. And garden tea most often gives weaker tea in all respects.

lappl1, Lyudochka, you are here!) Welcome back!) With your light hand, we have already "reigned" teas!)) 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Tatka1, Tanyusha, thanks!

Yes, I returned a long time ago, but I see that everything is in order here and did not write. I hung up in other topics. And now I periodically sit without light again, so again sometimes I drop out of the topic ...

Windicy, Andrei, isn't it an elderberry? I have a similar one that grew ... If an elderberry, then you don't need it in tea. And in general it is not necessary. And buckthorn too ...

... Although I looked in Google, maybe the elderberry is red, but some clusters are small for the elderberry. Maybe sick?
I am for buckthorn. But after that ..... hmm .....
Do not need it in tea ... really from the bark ...
But it's better not to risk it!

Maybe an elder, I don't know. But I will not add to tea! I have enough of what I found in almost one place: Ivan-tea, raspberries, apple trees, sea buckthorn, viburnum, hops and all sorts of unidentified flowers. Girls, I had an idea, maybe someone else had it earlier, I did not master all 900 pages? Maybe someone in the know can make a table of leaves and berries of various plants used to make tea. And in it indicate the usefulness and contraindications of certain plants, both leaves and berries. Then you can mix it with intent. Someone needs to lower the pressure, someone to raise it, someone for the stomach, etc. After all, now the Monastery teas are full of all ailments. Maybe a stupid idea, don't judge strictly.

The idea is not rolling. As already mentioned, we do not prepare medicinal raw materials. We prepare delicious drinks! And fermentation negates the medicinal properties of plants. If you need medicine, then to your pharmacy! Or to a medical forum! Something like this.

And yet, viburnum, in view of its little-known knowledge, is better not to mix with ivanushka. Make it mono. You can mix it later. It's just that you can save valuable Ivanushka with an unknown aroma, and not the fact that he is pleasant ...
And hops, perhaps, too, should not be mixed. Nobody did it at all. Therefore, as a pioneer - only mono.

[Windicy]

Windicy, Andrei, the idea is good! We do not have such a systematization. But creating a table takes time, which is sorely lacking. The season is like this - a vegetable garden, preparations, tea ... In winter you can try to make.
Although I wrote in the recipe itself that fermentation significantly weakens the medicinal properties of plants, so you shouldn't rely on the medicinal properties of our teas. This is good - no one had any harm from our tea. And we do not use it for treatment either - only for pleasure.
Oh, while typing the message, Ira wrote almost the same thing ...
In principle, the table can be made so that the elderberry is not put in tea. Or some other poisonous scent. Fermentation - by fermentation, but if pure is in the scent, then its traces in the tea will remain. and maybe not just traces.
But those scents that are great for tea, how they behave during fermentation, how they are combined, it would be very good to classify.

Delicious drinks are good. I like homemade teas. Isn't there anything useful in tea after fermentation? On this forum someone wrote that raspberries should not be drunk, for those who drink aspirin. She's already a blood thinner. Other leaves, too, probably have their own properties. I understand that in order for them to appear, you need to drink a lot of tea. And most likely no one will wash down aspirin with raspberries. But it's good to know about this, information is never superfluous. And knowing, people have the right to decide for themselves whether or not they need to mix according to useful properties. After all, self-hypnosis is a great thing, it can often help.

information is never superfluous

Well then! : hi: You can contribute to the information development of the forum in the form of the table you have designated. Get started! And people will catch up with you!

the old rule has not been canceled: an initiative is fraught with its execution

As in the Army: initiative is punishable by execution. If it would be so easy for me now ... I would. Unfortunately, some problems are almost impossible to solve.

[Windicy]

Windicy, Andrey, it looks more like a bird cherry. I like to add a small part of its leaves to mixes. It is not very clear in the photo what shape of the berry brush is.

Maybe a buckthorn?

When I feel unwell or I don't really drink Ivanushka, it's his. Yes, and my beloved evil doctor prescribed, and I believe her inside and out! Because it's real!

my favorite evil doctor

On this forum someone wrote that raspberries should not be drunk, for those who drink aspirin. She already thins the blood

And Ivan tea is simply contraindicated for those who have problems with veins, in particular after thrombosis, with a tendency to thrombosis, with thrombophlebitis: girl_sad: I do not know, but I really wanted to add at least a little

[Podmosvichka]

Podmosvichka, Elena, then ... raspberries are your plant!

Maybe an elder, I don't know. But I will not add to tea! What I found in almost one place is enough for me: Ivan-tea, raspberries, apple trees, sea buckthorn, viburnum, hops and all sorts of unidentified flowers ...

If my opinion is interesting. I would make Ivanushka separately. Garden separately in the mix. Take more raspberries and apple trees, 5-10% viburnum and sea buckthorn. Kalina and sea buckthorn in the mixes, I added 2-10% each. I haven't tasted hops. Where raspberries grow in the forest, there are usually blackberries, you can also have a lot of them. I also added up to 50% from red-fruited mountain ash, but they threw tomatoes on me about this. And the reason is that it is the easiest to find. And a lot of it.

And Ivan tea is simply contraindicated for those who have problems with veins, in particular after thrombosis, with a tendency to thrombosis, with thrombophlebitis I don't know, but I really wanted to add at least a little

So I will mix half of Ivan-tea with raspberries. One property will balance the other. And from the other half I'll make a fluffy.

No, this is not a bird cherry.
