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

kikimor later found here

and I even know what kind of swamp they trampled on!

[Elena Kadiewa]

Elena Kadiewa,

I know what kind of swamp they trampled on!

Linen,

That is why I am silent!

And tea made from forest and meadow geranium is different. From meadow, fragrant, but from forest I did not like. And given the complexity of twisting, and the presence of other delicious flavorings, I will not make tea from geraniums ...

[Elena Kadiewa, Lenchen]

Elena Kadiewa, Lenchen, meet. I am with gifts from Lina

A fieldberry is growing in my dacha. Belongs to the Rosaceae family. The flowers are like meadowsweet. So you can also make tea from it. And then there is a spirea with pink flowers with panicles.

Svetik, I'm waiting!
In the very first season of tea-making, they discussed spirea, for some reason they didn't make it out of it ... but I have a lot of it. Either the batch test failed, or there was no tannin, but they didn’t!

Good morning tea makers! I am a completely newbie, but how did you infect me with tea !!! my friend and your forum member sent me to you. Oh, how great! Made tea from ivanushka (how well you call it)! It turned out !!! Class! Can I still have time? I want something else! Suddenly you have time and you suggest tea from garden sauces, just your head is spinning! I want everything! I read a lot, but I don't have time for everything. I live in the village, I have everything of my own. Thank you!

[Irina742]

Irina742, and your friend did not tell about tea from the garden? Strawberries, currants, raspberries, cherries, irga, mountain ash, viburnum, black chokeberry - what leaves do you have? Dry, twist, ferment, dry.

[Elena Kadiewa]

Elena Kadiewa, please tell everyone and Zachariah.

Right now.
Zachariah I can't, he's not in touch with me

[Elena Kadiewa]

Elena Kadiewa, Now there are strawberries, apple trees, including wild, raspberries, cherries, irga, black mountain ash and black currant. I read about the tea "mahito", I will do it, I also have everything. But I want more from something (3-4 flavors). Lost in recipes. And time goes by. I zanykal jar of "Ivanushki" to try at least six months later. It's nice to take the time to respond.

I just read about different proportions, I didn't understand whether it was important or not. Or a little bit of everything?

All this is possible!
just keep in mind, raspberries and currants are crumbled in a meat grinder, the granules are poor, then there are more apple trees. And a low temperature regime, if you want aroma from black currant. Be sure to read the beginning of the recipe!

Hello everyone, I finally came out of the bushes and I want to communicate with you

[Elena Kadiewa]

Elena Kadiewa, Thank you! I went to collect the leaves!

Good afternoon everyone! Yesterday evening I brewed mono black currants. I did it in early July. She spent a month and a half in bed. The leaves wilted, then in the freezer, through a meat grinder and dried. Tea with a very bright currant aroma. The taste is less intense, but recognizable. But what surprised me. There is an aftertaste or even sensation. A couple of seconds after a sip of tea, there is a characteristic tea astringency in the mouth, very pleasant.

Brewed 3 tsp. for a kettle of 500 ml.
I will definitely do it))

[Tarakashechka]

Tarakashechka, LudmilaIt's good that I came out of the bushes! Happy tea! Which one do you like?
Irina742, The proportions are simple. Raspberries-blackberries-currants can be taken no more than 50% by weight, if minced. Cherry - no more than 10%, otherwise everything will drown out and everything will be cherry! If there is a desire to preserve the currant aroma, it must be dried at a temperature not exceeding 70, and preferably at an even lower temperature.And so ... everything is simple, in short. First you need to carefully (with a pen and a notebook) read the recipe. Good luck!

[Tarakashechka]

Hello everyone, I finally came out of the bushes and I want to communicate with you

Tarakashechka, Ludmila, welcome to tea themes! Well done, that came out of the bushes! Tell us what you have done, what tea you like best. we are very interested!
Oh, what a cool nickname you have !!! Did you choose yourself?

Yesterday evening I brewed mono black currants.

Likar Nadiya, thanks for the detailed report on tea! And for the photo - special thanks! Cool photo! And the tea looks great! Well done!

Tea with a very bright currant aroma. The taste is less intense, but recognizable.

The main thing is that you have preserved the flavor. And the taste will intensify over time.

completely newbie, but how did you infect me with tea !!! my friend and your forum member sent me to you. Oh, how great! Made tea from ivanushka (how well you call it)! It turned out !!! Class! Can I still have time? I want something else! Suddenly you have time and you suggest tea from garden sauces, just your head is spinning! I want everything! I read a lot, but I don't have time for everything. I live in the village, I have everything of my own. Thank you!

Irina742, Ira! How pleasant it is to read such a positive report! I am very glad that you have joined us! Well, from the fact that everything worked out for you - I'm doubly glad! Well done ! So you did everything right!

Who is your girlfriend? Not a secret?

[Florichka]

A fieldberry is growing in my dacha. Belongs to the Rosaceae family. The flowers are like meadowsweet. So you can also make tea from it.

Florichka, Irisha, well, you need to read in Google about the properties, the presence of tannins and all that ... I also have 2 trees. but still tiny. and no Internet - Yandex, Google and other search engines do not open ... You read and tell us. Good? And I, before it gets dark, will go pick the leaves and carry out the package.

[Tarakashechka]

Tell everyone please and Zachariah.

She gave the light, and Zachariy himself will read

Can I still have time? I want something else! Suddenly you have time and you suggest tea from garden sauces, just your head is spinning!

Choose from any topic Tea club or make up the mixes, any.
Tarakashechka, Ludmila, great for getting out of the bushes, join me. Your current "call sign" is strange, it is somehow inconvenient to address a person like that, but you can change it if you wish.

And in the bushes it's not great, I just flew away with a scooter into the bushes, it was ... not as fun as right now

Added Thursday, 25 Aug 2016 04:43 PM

about the properties, the presence of tannins and all that.

All spirits have the same composition and have tannins, essential oils and flavonoids .... And in general, rarely any of the rosaceae are not suitable for tea. That red rowan tree is not good, but I don’t know anything else.

So for some reason they didn't make tea from spirea! And nobody! I would remember if I have it ... a lot, in short.

Added on Thursday, 25 Aug 2016 04:50 PM

To stir up something with something?

for some reason they did not make tea from spirea!

Here I am about it. Although I have this spirea .... in short, it clogs everything like a blackthorn and a goof.

Lin,

[Zachari,]

Zachariah I can't, he's not in touch with me

Zachari, not order

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, thanks for the idea and inspiration!

Added Thursday, 25 Aug 2016 06:19 PM

I want to report on each tea. I tried them before, but now the time has passed, something must change in taste, aroma ... I will report back with a photo.

[Nadia]

thanks for the idea and inspiration!

To health, Nadia ! Enjoy your tea!

I want to report on each tea. I tried them before, but now the time has passed, something must change in taste, aroma ... I will report back with a photo.

Thank you ! It will be very interesting to know what happened and how! Will wait!

I tried cherry tea today.I cooked it according to the recipe, dried it, through a meat grinder, fermentation, oven and dry it. He lay in the bank for a month and a half. The smell of dry tea is even more pleasant than cherry, sweeter (it's not for nothing that cherry in English is sweet cherry), the smell reminds me of vanilla. Brewed tea smells less bright. The taste is delicate with woody notes (not in the sense of wood, but pleasant - spicy bark)

Brewed 4 tsp. for a kettle of 500 ml. Tried 3h. l-color light tea.

[Hope]

Hope, with good tea! Looks good.
We need to make mono tea from cherries, I make it all the time in mixes.

[Alla]

Alla, tea is good, fragrant)

[Likar Nadiya]

Likar Nadiya, Hope, I now also have cherries. And more! And I somehow looked at her skeptically - she did not pass the batch test. We must try to do it. You have described your cherry tea very well. Although, we probably have different varieties of cherries. You probably have dense fruits? And I have an early variety - very juicy and translucent. Like this:



Thank you, Nadia, for the report on cherries. I will make a link to the first page in the Notes, otherwise we have little written about cherries.

I want to show my raspberries, from which I make tea. She won the garden from the cucumbers, I did not resist, but it is convenient to tie the raspberries to the net. Net height 180cm

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, Thank you. We have a huge old tree. His husband planted him 20 years ago. Variety Valery Chkalov / Valeria. More late. The fruits are maroon. But because of its age, the tree gives few fruits and they are already small. But the leaves are full))) When I was spinning it, the smell melted very strong, similar to cherry, but richer. I have already described tea. And it is light, apparently due to the fact that the tree is varietal.

Well, not always. Raspberries practically do not change, and the apple tree turns light brown

Added on Tuesday 23 Aug 2016 11:07 PM

This is just what I know I did

I have everything in mixes, that's why they turn black.

I was once in the Vinnitsa region, on the border with Moldova, so there in the forests, plantings, along the highways, wild cherries grow, they call it wild cherries. The fruits are larger than varietal ones, but they are bitter. Here tea from it could be even tastier.

And I somehow looked at her skeptically - she did not pass the batch test

It was the same. I went and looked, sniffed)). The leaves are large, they asked directly. And then they decided to remove the branch, there was a lot of shadow. Well, I felt sorry for the leaves. Gathered from a sawn branch and made seagulls.

Girls, good evening! I will also report for tea. Made from decorative plum. My husband plucked the leaves and brought them to me, but I didn't have the strength to pick off the twigs, so I played with them.
At first I wanted to wither the leaves, but they felt a little dry to me, and I didn’t do it.

The granules turned out to be normal, fermented for 4 hours.

When twisted, the aroma was delicious, almost like a cherry, only with sourness, but when dried, it was not so intense. And the color is so unusual, such wet asphalt, graphite black, beautiful!
The tea turned out to be strong, and there is a bitterness, you probably didn't understand from the twigs? I can't say yet whether I like it or not. I should probably infuse it.

[lappl1]

lappl1, it's probably funny, but I don't know her "nickname" (such a secretive friend of mine). My name is Larisa Luzgina. And I put grapes, apple trees, currants, raspberries on the withering! Oh, and go for a walk! Hold on, my grinder! I thought for a long time about storing tea, and my daughter suggested metal cans for baby food. He says: there must be super metal, the capacity is solid. I think she's right. Suddenly someone will need such a container.

turned out strong, and there is a bitterness,

Last summer I made tea from plum leaves, I could not drink, only bitterness ...

Raspberry leaf tea. Wilted, frozen, through a meat grinder, fermented, in the oven with a fry, dried. Aged for a month and a half. Brewed 3 tsp. for 500 ml of water. Vromat is pleasant. The taste is tart, not sweet raspberries.

[Hope]

Hope, did you like it, no?

[Radushka]

Radushka, I like it. The husband said that the tea was winter. I did mono raspberries 3 times (they cleaned the area). And each batch has a different smell, all other things being equal.

[Reporting]

Reporting for tea from spireas... She promised - did.
I have a bunch of spireas, a lot of bushes that grow by themselves, hammering everything around (even raspberries). I don’t know the variety, here are her pictures in front and in profile:



The leaves are collected easily, just run your hand along the branch, as when collecting Ivanushka. In 10 minutes I typed a full package, dried it for 2 hours on the sheet and 4 in the sheet. At the same time I made a mono-tea and a mix of the following composition in parts: apple tree 1: raspberry 1: spirea 0.5: loch 0.2: blackberry 0.2. My raspberries are also experimental - frozen, thawed in a bag without a sheet in the greenhouse for 6 hours, the smell of raspberry candy. Spirea spun easily, but crumbled to dust both on the first scroll and on the second:


It's good that I did the mix at the same time, I checked how the granules are in the mix. In the mix - excellent, the granules are good, it turns easily both the first and second time. Did double scrolling too, as always with mixes:


Fermentation of both mono-tea and mix for 3 hours. I really liked the aroma - the pronounced aroma of green apple in mono tea and sweet fresh apple in the mix. Fry-dried at 120 * C for 30 minutes, dried at 70 * C. Here's a mono tea and mix infusion:





The taste is pleasant, with a slight sourness in mono tea and a little sweetish-tart with sourness in the mix. But I tried it right after drying. In general, the taste, color and aroma of spirea tea delighted me. I will undoubtedly do mixes with spirea.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, I'm the first for a tea

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, looked for this very spirea on the net, is it willow spirea? I look at the photos and do not understand, it seems that there are such plants in our region, but it seems that they are not. Very tasty tea described, I would like to make.

Yes, an ordinary spirea, bushes with my height, that is, about 170 cm. Probably willow. It is full everywhere, planted as an ornamental plant.

Hurrah! Linochka, thanks for the new seagulls! I won't do it this year. I cut out the extra branches immediately after flowering. And next, be sure!
I have spirea Wangutta (high) and Goldflamme (dwarf)

Good morning! This is my aronia) I did everything according to the recipe. I added dry blackberry berries to the finished tea (maybe you can see them halfway, I cut them in half and added them). The tea is fragrant and delicious. And the berries add some sophistication to it, an additional aroma.

[Hope]

Hope, beautiful seagulls came out! With good luck!

[Linadoc]

I would have killed someone! I decided that with tea this year is already all, but ... some here have a new zababahali ... will have to do with spirea, but what?
Eh,Linadoc, Linadoc!

[Elena Kadiewa]

Elena Kadiewa, Elena,
Well, my spirea was cut off for a long time, I just can't. Otherwise I would have done it too
