But I haven't poisoned myself yet, your truth.

finished tea blanks

But this is in vain! The season is in full swing. Time to take big trunks and load tons of leaves on compost tea. That's how I am, my entire freezer is filled with trunks. Sculpt

It depends on who!
Today I saw a little Ivan-tea, it's a pity she won't be able to grow up, it will chill with freezing!

There is no talk about Vanka. Fruity and Rosaceae fill the entire freezer for now. And I don't ice conifers.

And do not persuade!

Hello. I make pear leaves, now I fry in the oven. On one baking sheet, there were a lot of leaves, in a thick layer, on two - not enough, thin. How best to fry - one thick layer or two thin ones?

[Elena Kadiewa, Lenchen]

That seems to have finished tea preparations, but no! made 2 more games with spirea

Elena Kadiewa, Lenchen, and I'm on a tea.
I'll just drop by to Lina and see Veronica and immediately

Well, just in time for my morning you will appear! I wait!

I'll drop by Lina and see Veronica

And Veronica is busy with engineering structures, checking the friction force. I and Galina Iv have already checked, everything is fine, nothing slips. So come to me for tea. I have a wide choice of mixes, for every taste. I'll feed you with grill wings, pies with potatoes and mushrooms, and then tea and honey.

[Lina,]

Lina, has already flown over the border. I'll be there soon.
Yes, and you will need to fly to Gala.

[mironirina]

mironirina, Irina, I successfully imitated the natural fermentation of bergenia by repeated freezing-thawing (more than 10 times). I do not recommend adding it to mixes. VERY specific taste and aroma.

[Radushka]

Radushka, for the "infection" you will answer!
Actually, look at yourself! Thrifty hamster ...

I thought you about this thingthat Irisha showed, and you about physics ...
And I planned to make a "piece" for myself until the next season, even if my lads are not puzzled, I myself will make it.

[Elena Kadiewa]

Elena Kadiewa,

Good evening! Maybe I won't surprise anyone with this report, but I really like this tea. This is an apple tree, again)) Leaves from a home "winter" apple tree and from the wild. Withered, twisted. Fermented for 10 hours, I smelled like cider, so intoxicating))). Dried in the oven, added pieces of dried apple. The tea stood for a month. Here.

The jar of tea smells like a baked apple. Brewed 3 tsp. for 500 ml. Aromatic apple tea. Pleasant tea taste, slightly tart. Well, I'm not even talking about color)))

[Likar Nadiya]

Maybe I won't surprise anyone with this report.

Likar Nadiya, no, don't be surprised ...Because we are already used to your reports on different teas. Surprise if they are not there.
But seriously, throughout the entire topic I "vote" for the apple tree, even in mono version. And in the first year, she even tried to convince those who wrote that no tea is obtained from an apple tree.
Great apple tea! Astonishing! One color and scent is worth it! There is such beauty in your photo! I love this tea very much for its reddish tint and sweetish taste. And if you "fry" it well for 40 minutes, you get a bomb.
Thank you, Nadya, for continuing to acquaint us with your teas and impressions of them!

Great apple tea! Astonishing! One color and scent is worth it!

Aha! Raspberry ...
There is not so much apple tree to make mono tea. And ... mono tea is somehow boring for me. Played enough last year when I started.
By the way, if you remember, I made a mono pear from a whole May Day leaf? A very delicate tea came out. Such a delicate taste. The daughter-in-law begged EVERYTHING. Probably, "together" asked.

Good afternoon to tea makers! I, as it turns out, attracted another family to our miracle tea production. At the end of August, she treated her neighbors to cherry tea, already brewed. She didn't say anything about tea right away. And in the evening they asked me what it was. I briefly told and said where and what to look for, read. Yesterday they reported on what Village had done. They said they liked it.

[Hope]

Hope, congratulations on the growing family of tea-makers !. I am also pleased when, after my tea, they begin to make it themselves. But more often they only like to drink.

I am also pleased when, after my tea, they begin to make it themselves. But more often they only like to drink.

Eh ... AT LEAST ONE someone started to DO. They just drink and ask to do more
Hope respect!

[Alla]

Alla, Radushka, thank you))) my aspirations to introduce to tea production were a little mercantile))) they have a very gorgeous pear growing. And then I cut off the game for now, but there is no home of my own ...

Good day! For several days I have been drinking a tea-mixture, my first mix is ​​apple-raspberry-dogwood-chokeberry 2: 1: 1: 0.5 approximately. Stood for a month)) I really liked this mix. The apple tree and dogwood are felt, like tea with a sour apple. Raspberries taste good. But the blackberry was completely killed.

Here is such a rich color. Tea is brewed for 3 hours. l. for 500 ml of water. The apple aroma both seemed to warm and refreshed.

The granules turned out to be loose, weak, crumble a lot. Apparently dogwood, like raspberries, needs to be frozen. In mono tea, the leaves seemed to me similar in characteristics to raspberries, during processing.

Hello. I can't ask anywhere else, only here ...
Tell me, who knows: this is not an irga by chance? There are no berries, everything has dried up ...

[udalov]

udalov, Maxim, this is it, Irga. Mono tea is not ice, but in mixes it is normal, there is an almond aroma.

Good evening! How delightful homemade teas are! The weather has deteriorated, it's cold and it rains ... But you brew homemade seagulls and it smells like summer, just like "summer in a cup"! I brewed a mono pear with pieces of dry pear. So this tea smelled like dried pears in both dry and brewed state) I really liked it. And today we drink all tea strawberry-raspberry-cherry-chokeberry in approximately equal parts. The aroma and taste are interesting - the raspberry is well felt, the cherry and black chokeberry are very richly combined, even the light almond bitterness does not spoil at all. But I didn't make mono strawberries, which one I don't know. But there is in this tea some kind of such a pleasant note, almost vanilla. Maybe it gave strawberries? ..

Hope. In the mixture, the taste often changes / merges, it's like soup and separately cereal / porridge, separately potatoes, separately meat, separately onions. And together the soup. And so the dish and so. My mono strawberry tasted like a year later. Even after half a year, there was still no real taste. But everyone has it differently. I do the frying to a minimum. If only a little color and taste are collected and that's it. If in a pan, then until white smoke and three more minutes.And people keep it in the oven for half an hour, for an hour.

[lily]

lily, I also do not fry for a long time. I put in a hot oven and remove the temperature. I interfere often. The oven cools down to 60 degrees, somewhere, and the seagulls dry up.

I brewed a mono tea from grapes. She collected the leaves, wilted. Twisted it through a meat grinder. Leaves were fermented for 6 hours. Then in the oven. The granules turned out to be strong. He rested for a month.

Brewed 3 tsp. for 500 ml of water. The tea is transparent, the color is like that of green, if it stands for a long time, it becomes the color of a weak brew of black tea. The aroma also resembles green, and also the smell of grape juice and dried fruits. The taste is soft, seemed herbal (maybe 6 hours of fermentation are not enough for him?), When it was brewed, the tea became slightly sour, slightly tart. Very soft tender gulls turned out)

And yesterday I was making tea hawthorn-raspberry-blackberry 3: 1: 1 approximately. I liked the hawthorn in tea. I took his leaves as a basis. Only it is also sticky, like cherries and chokeberries. While she was spinning, she untwisted the meat grinder 3 times, Mama daragai stuck !!!. Fermented the mixture for 7-8 hours. The smell was apple and almond. And when dried-tea-apple, the family really liked the aroma. Let's see what kind of seagulls you get.
It's already cool in the house, I have adapted the container with tea for fermentation to put it in the microwave - I covered it with a damp napkin, a plate on top and in a micron, it is worth resting there.

:
This is a rose and raspberry 3: 1 approximately, I added very little raspberry so that it was not too sticky and so as not to strongly interrupt the aroma of the rose. I already wrote here that I made this tea, and now I try it a month later. When I first opened the jar, it was not a scent, it was a pink-raspberry-caramel fairy tale, not otherwise. And the taste is more raspberry, although there is only 1/4 of it. When brewed, the aroma of rose is very subtle and delicate. The tea is simply delicious!

[Likar Nadiya]

Likar Nadiya, oh, what kind of teas do you have, Nadyushka! You already match our tea masters
I did quite a bit this year (so little that Radushka laughed)
Bring them to the "Tea Arbor" and come yourself))) The people there are sincere and amazing)))

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, I'll bring you a treat))

[Hope]

Hopeand a rose - leaves or petals?

[Radushka]

Radushka, mostly leaves. There are literally petals from a few roses. Well, I added dry petals to dry tea.

[Hope]

Hope, I will do it next season. I liked your rose raspberry tea.

[Radushka]

Radushka, it really smells so magical, I even hid one small jar from me. Let it stand a little longer.

hid from herself

Hello dear tea makers! I read it, got used to it, this is a very exciting business! I have treated many - three have already made tea themselves! I want to ask, silence has come ... I'm collecting a young porcelain of Ivan's tea, now I will dry an iavnushka with raspberries and cherries from the forest! Who made this autumn tea?

[Ninacor]

Ninacor, welcome to the Tea Club.
Now there is a lull in the subject, autumn has come, but where the weather is good, we still collect leaves and prepare autumn teas.
So the girls will respond to your message.

I don't have Ivan-tea, but there is a lot in the garden. Made raspberry-hawthorn-chokeberry in different variations. And she took raspberries as a basis, then hawthorn. And in the freezer there is a package of apple-dogwood (it crumbles like raspberries).

I thought I had finished my tea season, but no ... We just cut a huge branch of an apple tree. The leaves turned out to be good, I had to go and clean up the raspberry plantation for a more complete set. And I still have cherries and currants in the freezer. So ... there will be more seagulls! Glad to see a new tea-man!

A week ago I picked raspberries, rowan, rose hips and apple trees. Added cherries from the freezer. The flight is normal!

Girls, good afternoon. Tell me, has anyone made tea from Jerusalem artichoke leaves? How did it taste? Does Jerusalem artichoke need to be frozen and fermented? Thank you in advance.

[SvechkaSt]

SvechkaSt, I did not do. But I read the whole topic, and I met in the records of the fall of 2014 that there was something, either about tea made from flowers, or about flowers in tea ...

[Sveta]

Sveta, Jerusalem artichoke leaves do not contain tannins, so tea cannot be made from it. But flower petals go perfectly into tea for decoration.

And now lavender tea report.
I dreamed about him. But the raw materials were not in the required, albeit minimal, quantity. And then I managed to fly to the Crimea that week. And along with the unforgettable impressions of the beauties, aromas and tastes of Crimea, I received the required amount of lavender as a gift from Zechariah ... But since all this happened in Crimea, there was only one option for making tea in Moscow - the method of hardening tea leaves according to Zacharius ... While I climbed the mountains and mountain monasteries, lavender wilted in my backpack. I cut off the leaves and flowers, put them in a bag and put them in the freezer. I also put the stems in a bag, but left them in the room. The aromaaaat was stunning! There was so much oil that his fingers were shiny.

Further, during the flight to Moscow, the leaves thawed. At home, I put them back in the freezer. But I put some of the stems in a bag along with sprigs of rosemary, thyme, juniper, cypress and mountain mint, collected in the mountains, and hung it over the bed. Excellent aromatherapy and prevention of acute respiratory infections. I dipped some of the branches at the last moment in jams and juices when cooking, getting a kick-ass note of lavender. Then I deleted it before closing. Then I went to the dacha and the lavender thawed again, when I arrived, I froze it again. Then she took it out and let it thaw a little in the greenhouse. Here she is.

I played it twice, but it crumbled to dust. It was very dry. Having slightly moistened with water, I set it to ferment in a greenhouse for 3 hours. Then I put it to dry in a dryer at 60 * C, but immediately felt a significant increase in the aroma, which indicated the evaporation of the oil, and I immediately lowered the temperature to 40 * C and dried for about 3 hours. The aroma was stable. Then she hung it up in a bag to dry. The aroma continued to actively emanate, but since the tea was dry, I kept it in the bag for only a day. Then she closed the tea in a tight-fitting container. And she brewed it. There is almost no color, but the aromaaaat is fabulous, and the taste is amazing - sweet-floral, just nectar.

Undoubtedly, this tea should be made. And add to mixes with good color, but without pronounced taste and aroma. Perfect with geranium, currant, apple, pear and their mixture. And in general, it will decorate any tea with its taste and aroma.
I foresee the question of whether it is necessary to ferment lavender at all? It is necessary, just dried herb has neither such taste nor such aroma. So I highly recommend making this tea. It doesn't take much to improve any mix.

[Likar Nadiya]

Likar Nadiya, so I read and read the topic, but I didn't come across anything about Jerusalem artichoke. Maybe someone made girls out of them.

Added Monday 03 Oct 2016 8:52 PM

Linadoc, I have very few flowers and they have not yet blossomed, but today there are a lot of leaves. So I'll try and just dry it, it seems that the tea from the leaves is very useful, and maybe I'll do some with fermentation. Let's see what happens.

[SvechkaSt]

SvechkaSt, Sveta, there is about Jerusalem artichoke. I tried, but I didn't like it. It smells strongly of iodine and is very dark, ugly. I will not repeat.

Good day!!! Seen enough, read and took a chance. The first to go was tea from a raspberry leaf. Then mixes, then mono - pear, apple, cherry, strawberry, black chokeberry. Defend. And I made Mojito grapes too. Tried raspberries (June). I liked it very much. I'm waiting for the grapes to settle for at least a month. Thank you for sharing your experience. It didn't work out for me with a meat grinder, I make twisted and cut rolls.

[Nadia 2016]

Nadia 2016, Nadezhda, it's very nice to get acquainted with the new tea-making. Show off your teas, share your impressions and just come to chat at the Tea Gazebo.

[Nadia 2016]

Nadia 2016, HopeWell, it's great that the teas work out and you like them! A meat grinder ... It's a profitable business. More coming out! Great relief with her

I dreamed about him. But the raw materials were not in the required, albeit minimal, quantity. And then I managed to fly to the Crimea that week. And along with the unforgettable impressions of the beauties, aromas and tastes of Crimea, I received the required amount of lavender as a gift from Zakhariy

Lina, inspired by your lavender teas, decided to prepare this elixir for herself. Already the last days of flowering lavender, almost no flowers anymore. But even so, we managed to find it.


Thank you very much again for the work done and I am glad that you liked the tea.
Sure lavender supplement to tea from geranium will be that.
