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

[Radushka]

Radushka, and if you think well?

and if you think well?

yyyy I'm already thinking ... I'll walk around the site tomorrow. Maybe there is something? The most unpleasant thing is that I did not bother with the supply of frozen leaves for the withdrawal period. And how to continue to live now? Scary!

And my tea container is empty - the sea! My teas are gone, gone for presents ... and the toad wakes up!

My teas have gone, gone for gifts ..

And I tricky smart ... She said right away - no fresh tea for anyone before ... the beginning of the tea season! And last year's was the current for myself. For that year I will do, who asks, under the order. And give it right away. Let them keep them where they want, how they want, or drink right away.

[MariV]

MariV, Olga, made from leaves, and made petals of Potentilla flowers together with the rest of the flowers, which were phlox, elecampane, velvet, nasturtium, ivan tea. I also dried the white flowers of the deaf nettle - the yarn.
One of my favorites now is tea from irgi with 5% of its berries. Made a mono 4 liters. Good both alone and in mixes. Astringent and aromatic.

For "frosty tea" I am waiting for almost ready-made fermented and prepared for rolling by frost: raspberry, plum, apple, barberry leaves



Yes, Irga is also ready

So, in the coming days I will make more tea

[Lichka]

and half an hour 12 liter bucket of narwhal leaves.

Lichka, Angela, this is the catch! Rich

Linadoc, Lina, what is your correct site! And the leaves are green, and the frost has already passed We have no snow, but the leaves are all dried up ...

Added Thursday, 03 Nov 2016 03:24

Elena Kadiewa, Len, what other teas did you make besides Ivanushka?
I did a little with forest geraniums, I thought about collecting them later, I failed ... So, without dry fermentation, I finished almost all the tea. Interesting aroma turned out Geranium, 30-40 percent of the total mass.

[Elena_Kamch]

Elena_Kamch, Lenus, I have long "tied up" with tea, we have something - not what they have! It's winter long!
The last one was with spirea, also according to Lina, I have not tried it yet. Yes, and once I was very strong, otherwise I would also be looking for "snowdrops", like that stepdaughter ...
Lina, issue the recipe for "frosty tea", please!

Yes, I also tied it up ... This is how I'm interested, I just haven't crossed paths for a long time

By tklek I saw making tea from hydrangea leaves. Lin, have you tried it? Maybe one of the devoules?

I have 2 types of spirea with white and pink flowers.

And I also have a field ash growing, also from their kind.

Frosty tea! How lovely! It's raining now! Otherwise I would have run to pick raspberries. Besides raspberries and garden geraniums, there is nothing. Oh, I can dig up strawberries! We have when autumn is dry

and it has been dry for three years in a row

, all leaves dry up in September-October.
In the freezer there is a small bag of mint, about 20 pear leaves. On the tops of the blackcurrant bushes, something else has not flown around either. In short, will the rain end or not?

In short, will the rain end or not?

and over frosty tea with raspberries

This is my spiraea now, especially for frosty tea Excellent fermented and frozen

Linochka, you're right. I'm going to collect it under an umbrella. There is no end in sight for the rain. Dry the leaves in a towel, or in the air, do you think? I, of course, would be better off in a towel. I have lost the habit of stirring

Yes, a towel is fine, but the edges dry out in the air.The needles are dry, they still need moisture.

And the recipe ?!

And the recipe ?!

And who doesn't want to look for snowdrops?

Cyt, Svetik!
Maybe I still have time? ...
And someone will have to endure the brain ...

Was at the dacha three days ago. There was snow, but less frost than it is now. I collected the leaves, there are many more. For the first time plucked cypress and pine needles. PS: only did not tear the yew, I know that it is poisonous. I don't have a juniper, just as there is no silver sucker. Omission, you have to plant. I revised all my views on flowers and shrubs from the point of view of tea ceremonies. This year I made tea from flower petals, fermented. Next season I am thinking of planting more of these tea-flowers. Leaves
fermented a little, dried and tasted right away. I liked the tea very much. I only regret one thing, I have too little of it. A delicious combination of pine needles, apples and mint. Maybe you can still type, I'll try. Spirea tore pink. White blooms in my May, the leaves have long flown.

Spirea

Christmas tree, cypress, pine. By the way, can you also have a Christmas tree?

Apple tree

Hawthorn

This is a yew. For beauty, not for tea.
Lina, thanks for the idea!

By tklek I saw making tea from hydrangea leaves. Lin, have you tried it? Maybe one of the devoules?

Luda, we will soon become all tea gurus here. We will know all tea sauces by sight!
There are all sorts of hydrangeas, let's read what you can in tea ...

And here happiness came to me: a can of sea buckthorn juice and a bag of leaves!
While she was picking the leaves from the twigs, she pricked all her hands.
Already drying

Happy ... you have leaves! And we have ... only acacia, but a vinegar tree

"Frosty tea" from conifers and leaves of natural fermentation (Linadoc)

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, thank you, Linochka!
This is my cup of tea!

By tklek I saw making tea from hydrangea leaves. Lin, have you tried it? Maybe one of the devoules?

Luda, she read about hydrangea:

"Hydrangea is one of the strongest medicinal plants, and roots and leaves are used for treatment. In our time, diseases of the genitourinary sphere, in the treatment of which the tree-like hydrangea is just strong, have become widespread. Treating them with antibiotics, people go in a well-known circle: they lose immunity and acquire new diseases.Preparations from the roots of hydrangea are found in ancient treatises of Chinese medicine, and in ancient European practice, as well as in modern medicines and dietary supplements.
Hydrangea has a unique property to remove uric acid from the body, which means it can help in the treatment of gout, relieve inflammation and complications in cystitis and prostatitis, and prevent the formation of stones.
To prepare medicinal tea, you need to collect hydrangea leaves, and you can use different varieties, brew it harder and, after insisting, drink. The taste of the drink resembles strong Chinese green tea with bitterness, but emits a wonderful aroma, squeezing the aroma of tea made from raspberry and cherry leaves. "

I have different ones growing, there will be tea for the next season!

Let's help our Lyudochka

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, good night, I wish you beautiful dreams! And I'll tell you a fairy tale about your (my) delicious tea
I read topics about tea with great interest, I thought, what kind of girls are great, that's when I don't work, I'll try to do it too
My parents live in the Vladimir region, I was born there too, and in the summer my husband and son and I go to mom and dad almost every weekend, we have a vegetable garden there and we plant almost everything there. While resting with my mother on vacation for the last week, I understand that we do not have any leaves of our own and that I’m such a lazy person without delicious tea I read again about village tea and went for a walk in the garden in the morning The first mix was with cherries, everything who tried it - delighted, but I got sick with leaves forever
And also Ivan-tea did not give rest after your feedback, I ran behind the fence, in the field, into the forest, nowhere near the trash can, I look, two twigs with flowers are growing, I brought them to Dad and very much asked to find one. Dad just decided more not to work, to rest in retirement and in the garden, he often in the forest, in the fields, on a fishing trip and said that he would look I waited, dreamed and dad found whole fields, but I managed to go myself only twice, there are a lot of things in the garden and leave my mother I could not, but dad brought me a little later, Mom also infected, she says, I go and see what else to pick and remind dad when he went to pick mushrooms - don't forget Lelka's leaves, see if the boxes have appeared ... That's it, what I managed to collect from us and from the neighbors, I withered and froze, and then at home it was fermentation and drying.
Luda, can I write such long comments? And then I also want to write about tastes
Lyudochka, thank you very much for everything! For a kind heart, for healing delicious tea for everyone and for our family, our gratitude has no boundaries, every cup with thoughts about your health and well-being
And thank you all for the experience and advice

Well, we got a report from Oli-Lelka, sitting in the bushes! Write, girl, write!
It is interesting to read about your teas - what, with what? What did you like the most?
How nice that our regiment has arrived!

I already wrote that I really like mono tea from irgi leaves with 5-10% berries. And then I tried to add a couple of spoons of tea from phlox petals, not just dried, but fermented, to a cup to it. I got a new very pleasant shade, some kind of smoked or something, like with a smoke. It's difficult to describe in a word, but I really liked it.

Oh girls, what horizons are opening before us! Phlox with fermentation is already aerobatics of some kind

Yeah, I just dried them!

[Tulip]

Tulip, Olya, well done, that came out of the bushes. Moreover, she told us such a fairy tale. Yes, this is not a fairy tale, but a whole novel - an affair with tea ... Thank you for that!

Luda, can I write such long comments? And then I also want to write about tastes

Sure you may. Write as much as you like. And we will read it with pleasure.

Florichka, Ira, I also liked phlox flowers in tea. They have such a wonderful scent! But I didn't ferment them, I just dried them. Now I won't try - no phlox. But I will definitely take a note - suddenly I will grow ... Thank you, Irochka, for sharing the information.

"Frosty tea" made from conifers and naturally fermented leaves (Linadoc)

Linadoc, Lina, I just saw that you posted a new recipe. Well done! And the name is so beautiful! I'll go, I'll go to your topic, I'll see how and what you did.

And yesterday I processed Ivan-tea and apple-tree leaves. I had Ivan-tea with little pink boxes. So white fluffs flew around the house. How did they straighten up so quickly? I tried to capture it, but it's not visible
There are two white fluffs on the blue napkin. And you can see a little on your hands. I chase them (for fluffs), and they fly away from me. Kindergarten, pants with straps

And yesterday I processed Ivan-tea and apple-tree leaves.

We even tasted Ivan-tea
I am already planning training routes!

[Elena-Liza]

Elena-Liza, Elena, I can imagine what aromas you have in your house that return to summer
I also ran after fluffs, but they are elusive
I want to tell you a little what kind of tea I managed to make

1. Rustic with cherries - everyone liked it very much, especially my mother and husband, my son (Kirill is 20 years old) does not like tea with aromas, my father refused and said - I don’t want to drink your herbs and ants quickly, remembering this seagull and planning for the next year make more

2. Rustic with black mountain ash - very fragrant, delicate, special turned out, added a little more grape leaves, also everyone liked it, especially at work ended even faster

3. Raspberries, strawberries and black currants - delicious, but quieter. Now I have gained taste and aroma, we drink with pleasure

4. Raspberry mono - at first it smelled simple, removed it away, and recently they took it out, and then my husband said the aroma - delicious, good tea, now I regret that I did little, I had a lot of raspberry leaves as jam, of course, it does not smell, but something - something extraordinary, but raspberry thought is not like that.

5. Cherry mono - it turned out a little, but very strong, fragrant, I gave it all to my mother, she turned out to be a lover, added to black tea

6. Ivan-tea did not think that I would love him so much, in stores it is not so
- made of leaves - black, rich, awesome, my husband often asked me to brew my elite one for him, he called him that.
- it turned out from the tops with the smell of rye crusts like white-pink did not come out of anyone, I read only from the boxes and from the leaves, but I did not feel it in the taste, I will do it again, dad said to tear them easily, on the field once times and package
- from the boxes I liked the most, I like strong, rich, thick tea, this is my tea. Lena Kadieva The first tea from the boxes turned out to be incredibly fragrant. I couldn’t sniff from the can, it smelled like that at once and then began to smell a little more saturated. I could not understand everything - either caramel, or some vanilla-chocolate something, in general, I even felt sorry for some miracle to drink it, but I drank and could not get drunk without everything, but the following parties did not work like that anymore, but I also smelled like tea , as it seemed to us, strawberry jam

7. Another shock tea - a mix from Lina with mint and basil. I had boxes in it, a pear, black plum, mint and two types of basil, it was immediately very tasty and fragrant, blackening, thick, and the smell came home from work and even my son began to smell this tea sooner, maybe mint tasted more familiar everyone said that Ivan-tea would taste very herbal, and after that he began to taste others too
At my husband's work, one boy said that I would even buy such tea from you, well, we treated him later

8. After tea number 7, I decided instead of boxes, they ran out, add raspberries, the tea turned out to be delicious, very interesting, they drank it with pleasure, and now of course it became even tastier, but simpler than number 7, but a lot of it
Also, instead of mint and basil I added lemon balm, it turned out to be an interesting tea.

9. When the leaves were all over, I went to the woods for strawberries, remembering Lyuda your story, I could pick a small bag, added a little strawberry and for some reason I ended up with dark green tea, but very interesting in taste, we also called it elite
All the tea turned out wonderful, once my only tea tasted like a compote of dried fruits, and only to me, no one else felt it.
The tea was made all granulated, with raspberries it came out a little crumbly, but not scary.
Luda, thank you again for the delicious tea, which gives us benefit and warmth and for a new amazing activity
Lina, girls, thank you all !!!

[Tulip]

Tulip, OlgaThanks for the detailed story-report on teas. Glad to have one more person got sickcaught drinking tea!
If you want the smell-taste of raspberry jam in raspberry tea, you need to remove from there everything that will have a stronger taste-aroma. Raspberries with apple or raspberries with strawberries are just fine for this. My favorite raspberry and pear no longer has such a bright raspberry flavor. The pear is pressing. And "steamed" raspberry-mono is just like jam. Only unsweetened

Radushka is glad ...a regiment of gulls has arrived!
Very interesting and tasty described, Olya. I love such reports, as if I myself drink in small sips and smell the aroma ... I am just trudging with pleasure! Thank you!

[Radushka]

Radushka, thanks for the advice, I will look for my jam
mono raspberry now really like
Elena, you can come to me
I am very glad that I fell ill with such a case, I am waiting for May, I think how to get more time for tea
Thank you for the warm welcome

[Tulip]

Tulip, Olya !!!
I wrote great about my teas !!! Drooling straight
Every time I have a dilemma, which mix to brew ??? Especially when you choose for guests
And yet so much has not been collected, not tested ...

[Lichka]

Lichka, Angela, this (for now) year I, at the request of one department of the pharmaceutical academy, made a series of different teas with black currant. I tried to dry it so as to preserve, if possible, the smell and taste. Well, what can I say? Now I don’t care at all whether the currants are ugly or not! Leaves, in any way, MIRACLE! Teas with currants are just wonderful. BUT ... I like raspberries more. She, after all, looks more like tea. Only tastier
By the way, it's good that they reminded me! It is necessary to brew and try the mix with barberry!

But Ivanushka ... is the best!

[Elena Kadiewa]

Elena Kadiewa,

Ivanushka ... the best

Who would doubt that
BUT ... You know, ivanushka reminds my consumers of tea in concentration cherry. And, therefore, not everyone liked it.
Mono, in general, do not want to drink. It's for the best for me. On mono leaves of fireweed, I will not be able to pick up soon. And in mixes ... I don't tell anyone what is "shoved" there

[Tulip]

Tulip, Olya, thank you for such a complete and interesting report! I described everything very tasty! What I like about these teas is that there are huge opportunities for imagination and different tastes in different mixes, and also because after a while, a new taste appears, even more interesting. Well, the process of making tea itself is very addictive ... however, tea ...

Soon, soon spring, the petals-buds will first be used, and then the turn will reach the leaves!

[Lichka]

Lichka, Angela, speaking of the kidneys. I got an idea here. When you form a currant bush, you cut out a lot of growth. I cut good, strong, ripe shoots for rooting. But, there are always parts that are not suitable for this. The buds from such sprouts can be dried and then aromatize the finished tea with IMI. The buds are not berries. Will not give "compote" taste.

[Lichka]

Lichka, Angela, Nadyushich, Hope, thank you girls

I first typed this long report on the tablet and pressed something and everything was lost, then I went to write on the computer, I remember that I described 10 types of tea, but I forgot which tenth, until Radushka wrote about raspberries and pears. Radushka
Here he is - a loser Garden raspberry, forest raspberry and a neighbor's pear
I read that Radushka really likes him and went to the neighbors to ask for pear leaves, we have a little one, only 7 leaves from her. It turned out a tea with the smell of good black tea and smelled like that for two months, and then delicate fruit notes were added. For a long time I took care of it, insisted, because there was a small jar, and then everyone drank it together on Babulichka's 85th birthday. They drank in the fresh air from a samovar, all the relatives were delighted

Girls, what kind of tea do we start doing tea making?
I remember that since May - a young Ivanushka, pine candles, honeysuckle, and what else?

[Tulip]

Tulip, OlgaOn May 1 of this year, I made whole leaf tea from the sprouts of varietal pears (wilted-pozhmakala-fermented under oppression). The result is a very delicate tea. With a slight duchess aftertaste. UNSATURATED! Takes up an awful lot of space. 200 g barely fit into a 6-liter jar. I will not do more. Although the tea came out nice. I think it's better to wait a month and start cooking at least from June. And, here is the cherry in May - the best comes out. The second time doing the May.And, although few of my consumers like cherry tea, I will definitely make May cherry-mono. The leaves are twisted easily. Much easier than summer ones. And no comparison with the early autumn.
By the way, I also start making raspberries as soon as the leaf gains strength. I remove the excess growth when the leaf unfolds and put it into tea. I noticed that young raspberries are better granulated. Anyway, not like other leaves, but ... better.
Garden strawberries (strawberries) can also be harvested from spring. But, there the harvest can fall strongly. So ... you have to choose - berries or tea?

[Radushka]

Radushka, thank you very much, I will mark everything to myself now
Of course, I will carefully pick the leaves in May, so as not to harm the crop and not make my mother nervous, but sometimes it seems to me that I began to think more about the leaves than about berries
It's good that there are a couple of neighboring abandoned vegetable gardens

I began to think more about leaves than about berries

So do I. I already will, there will be no harvest of berries worries a little. Leaves will definitely be!
Well, cherries can disappear, really. There is such a sore

Well, cherries can disappear, really. There is such a sore

We have four cherries - young ones, while I was waiting for them to be cut off, they all turned to a black point and quickly flew around, and the neighbors had no leaving, the cherry next to us and all clean until September is, but in the shade, maybe that's why
And the neighboring cherry and the leaves are more fragrant than ours

neighbor's cherry and leaves - more aromatic than ours

At the neighbor's ... well, you yourself know what he has
But seriously ... different varieties of cherries have different disease resistance. Everything, like people, is shorter
