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

And the composition of the last tea, in my opinion, you have chosen poorly. I understand your impatience, but try to get creative with the selection of leaves.

Creativity is good, of course, but not when there is no big choice I proceed from what I can collect from the leaves

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, I picked the leaves according to my mood and as it was convenient. Each species in a separate package, weighed, signed, indicated the date and in the freezer. Of course, everything after withering.
When there was a lot, then she began to make tea. It is more convenient for me to study tea separately, I cook food the day before so that there are no smells in the house.

Now I decided to get rid of the small fraction, shook up the entire stock on a sieve, so many little things were sifted out, it was a pity to throw it out. But I don't want to brew dust either

[Yuri K]

But I don't want to brew dust either

Yuri K, and the dust is packed in bags and brewed

[Light]

Light, I know, but I don't have any bags

[Yuri K]

I have no bags

Yuri Kthen put

dust

until better times
The tea will be infused and will be even tastier and more aromatic

good afternoon to all lovers and connoisseurs of homemade tea)) I look at your topic often, I have been making tea for 4 years, mainly from what grows in my own garden. this year I opened the season with a mix unusual for me - tea rose petals + cherry leaf (50/50). cooked last weekend, granulated tea, dried up in a pillowcase for a week, brewed it today. infusion is dark, delicate aroma, pleasant light bitterness, pleasant aftertaste. I made a conclusion for myself - we need to do more)))

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, DUST is the most delicious tea I have made in a year! Imagine! I made 76 batches of tea last season. And collected all the dust separately. From all (any) mixes!

[Radushka]

Radushka, stunned ... Well, I'll know now))) I took, and all the little thing about a good coffee cup into the sink after dropping out washed away

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, I also threw away almost the entire season before last. And then ... I read that 3% of the dust fraction is the norm. And she calmed down. It brews faster, the taste is awesome, the aroma is no worse than the rest ... People also pay extra for bagged dust

[Radushka]

Radushka, yes, here I am a dunce))) Well, now I certainly will not throw it out, all the more I have looked at Aliexpress, you can buy a batch of bags, pack it up and here you are)))

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, Yuri, I remember you every day, I have not forgotten!

[Luna Nord]

Luna Nord, very happy about it! Thank you Lyudmila!

[Luna Nord]

Luna Nord, um ...

[Radushka]

Radushka, intrigue, investigation ...

Oh, the tea season has begun (and for me, given that I finished last year's supplies in March, it continues). I am already walking around the garden and ditching everything from which you can make tea, raspberry shoots, cherry, black chokeberry, rosehip, grape, gooseberry, red, white currants and the remains (well, it does not take root in me) black ... We look at a neighboring abandoned plot with a sea of ​​cherries, apricots and plums ....... Interestingly, can you make maple for tea ??
The roots of Ivan-Tea, planted in autumn, sprouted ... I dug like a squirrel and forgot where ... Now I found it in 4 places ... They scare that it will be like a weed ... Nothing , we'll handle it. I have noticed for a long time, as soon as you start treating weeds as a food product or producing something useful, you immediately begin to miss it ...

And for packaging and giving away I liked the DANON yogurt jars.

Has anyone made Ginkgo biloba tea?
In the picture it is twisted. I wonder if the properties are preserved through a meat grinder? ))

This delicious ginkgo biloba tea is renowned for its incomparable medicinal value. It can also be included in special drinks along with honeysuckle. The combination of the roots and leaves of the plant greatly enhances the healing effect of the tea. After 30 days of treatment, you will notice a unique boost in your immunity. In addition to improving overall well-being, mental responses will sharpen and memory will become more flexible.

Ginkgo biloba tea promotes improvement in all organs and systems, it restores blood circulation in all blood vessels, increases the flow to the brain, and also protects cells from numerous free radicals. It delays the aging of the body by preventing strokes and heart attacks. In elderly patients, a slowdown in platelet activation is observed.

It is enough to replace the usual morning tea with this drink to replenish the supply of vitality and well-being.

Aliexpress just looked, you can buy a batch of bags, pack it up and here you are

Can I have a link?)) Or their name?

[Alexander Leonidovich]

Alexander LeonidovichBy following the recipes in this thread, you will not preserve the healing properties of ANY plants, which you just do not list. Fermentation, frying, drying. Do you want medicinal? Just dry, but it won't be tea.

Can I have a link?)) Or their name?

Then they told me not to do this, now I'll write it off in a personal.

hmm ... I understand that you can dry, but tsatata is just about tea. and in the picture it looked like fermented tea. only large-leaved. but I am not in the mood to dry herbs now. I want to make tea out of everything, so I'll try)

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, Oh, thanks for the idea with tea bags .... I met similar ones in METRO, but there it is expensive and without strings. And on Allie, a bunch of proposals jumped out from 60 rubles for 100 pieces and with strings.

[Nadia 2016]

Nadia 2016, I already ordered it myself!

And me And along the way some kind of garbage for making tea, silicone in the form of strawberries.

[Nadia 2016]

Nadia 2016, there are a lot of cute things. I've been licking my lips at this one already, but the sizes are clearly not the ones we are used to

There are not many leaves yet, but I have already begun to collect-wither-freeze. While a little thorns, suckers, raspberries, apples, pears, spirea. Everything has dried up and in the freezer. Then I collect more, add. And when a decent volume is typed, I will begin to temper it like Zakhar and twist it. By the way here is a report on tea from spirea

And I got hooked on rose petal tea! Stupid good upbringing does not allow, without demand, to go and encircle a neighbor's tea rose growing on the street. And they went to the dacha. Well, I hope they'll be back by evening.
Walked in the woods yesterday. Trinity all the same! As a result of the walk, there is a little bit of everything ... raspberries-blackberries-pear-apple trees-irga-meadow strawberries (polynytsya) and IVANUSHKA! All the same, I found last year's place where it grows. Few, of course, but better than nothing!

[Radushka]

Radushkahow many goodies! especially Vanechka pleases my eyes

I also had a productive weekend. we went to look for black currants in abandoned dachas ... alas, we did not find it. but a lot of other things looked after. what you can come to collect. and of course they collected the leaves. what had time while my husband was in good spirits was bird cherry, plum, apple tree, strawberry, blackberry, rose hips. By the way, bird cherry is the opening of the season for me - such a scent from fresh leaves is just a delight!

Linadoc, thanks for the advice! I mainly prepare mono-tea because I don't drink it in its pure form. I add various herbs. that is, my fermented tea is usually only the base. The only thing I'm thinking now is that I have recipes where, for example, several types of leaves are used as a base - so I'll try to ferment them together.

Girls and boys, maybe someone can help me found a tree. it has large leathery leaves like cherry - glossy. only the size is larger - 2-3 times. flowers like cherry but single and from the trunk. I do not observe fruits set. what kind of tree could it be? found at the dachas.



Linadoc, read your report on spirea. it became interesting - I don't have such a shrub) the only thing was recently in one place and found an interesting shrub. maybe it's spirea? If you compare photos from Yandex, it is similar. now she has faded

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy, it looks more like viburnum or hawthorn. This is also from the Rosaceae family, excellent for teas. But viburnum can be bitter.

[Linadoc,]

Linadoc, the parents of the viburnum and hawthorn grow. completely different leaves

although it may be wild ... I found this bush in a local grove. it looks great and interesting) I look like I'll see what berries ripen on it)

Yes, this is the right decision. Better to check and then do it. And so there is still plenty to do. And spirea is a close relative of Tavolga. So I showed pictures from the forest.



And this is forest geranium, there is almost no taste and aroma, but the color of the tea is then excellent. I add it to color mixes.

Then they told me not to do this, now I'll write it off in a personal.

and me, Yuri.

and me, Yuri.

A couple of seconds))

maybe it's spirea?

This is Van Gutt's spirea, because there are many varieties of them

.

Girls and boys, maybe someone can help me found a tree. it has large leathery leaves like cherry - glossy. only the size is larger - 2-3 times. flowers like cherry but single and from the trunk. I do not observe fruits set. what kind of tree could it be? found at the dachas.

Don't you think about cherries?

[Natalo4-ka]

I finally tasted my cherry tea today ... disappointing. It smells so delicious in a container, and absolutely not tasty when brewed (Neither taste nor smell is good. At the moment, this is the first tea of ​​my preparation that I did not like.
PS In vain I did not believe people that they wrote that bad tea turns out from cherries))

We wrote about viburnum above, but it tastes bitter. and strong. Cool tea is obtained from it!



Natalo4-ka,
Can you show a photo of this mysterious tree?

[Alexander]

Alexander, put the cherry in a container and forget about it for six months, it will delight you later.

Alla, I have a cherry for the fourth year, not happy!

absolutely not tasty when brewed (Neither taste nor smell is good.

I join, the cherry also disappointed me, the second year lies, in any mix it gives a hard and bitter taste of a cherry pit

As they say - in taste and color ... cherries are good in mixes in small quantities, I made them mono-so gram-based in any tea I add just for the scent.
But the spiraea disappointed, bitter and rich, but this is my grade, apparently, this, I tried tea with her at Linados, something completely different. They also call mine a mountain ash.
So it's too early to talk about disappointment, let the tea mature and mature.

In vain I did not believe people that they wrote that bad tea turns out from cherries))

Yes, cherry then reveals the taste, as well as other scents. And here, on the contrary, many people very much praise cherry tea. Also, different trees have different tastes, and not only cherries. Depends on the variety. I made from cherries a couple of years ago, there was a simple taste, but now such a taste and smell ....... Even burnt tea acquired a caramel taste, but I wanted to throw out bad tea, one of the very first.

[Luna Nord,]

and I also ordered disposable bags with Ali.
I have a question about bird cherry - does it wither for so long? since Saturday it has been lying - the veins are still crunching, but the truth was collecting almost in the rain - of course, a lot of moisture ...
I think I understood one of the reasons why my granules are crumbling - some of the leaves I did not wither at all right into the freezer after collection.
the other day I was collecting leaves as I thought from a pear.straight with my husband arguing what kind of tree it was) took it out of the freezer and I see - it's still apple leaves))) after defrosting, a characteristic honey color appeared))

Luna Nord, Thank you! I will know))) then I will soon visit this bush for leaves)

Natalo4-ka, the husband insists that the cherries would not have survived without care. in our area I have never seen cherries, only ducks

Alexander Leonidovich, I am puzzled by this mysterious tree) no photo. next time I'll go take a photo

[sweet_blondy]

Natalo4-ka from Yesterday at 18:00

absolutely not tasty when brewed (Neither taste nor smell is good.

This is not mine this is a quote
I love cherries dearly, and I often add them to mixes, and my peasants like it. But I try to diversify my teas, maybe that's why they don't get boring.
In general, about any of the plants, it is not correct to say unambiguously "bad" or "good", so if we tried the same tea, that is, from the same can, then yes, we could talk about personal taste preferences, and so. .. everyone has a different product due to the GU and cooking characteristics.
sweet_blondy, so maybe because there are no berries, because the climate is not suitable, although judging by the latitude at which you are, it is quite a cherry strip. We grow it with success, and we are to the north.
I don't have my own photos, if in principle I take a picture in the evening, but the search engine gives out sooo many photos. According to the oral description, it is very likely that this is her.

[Natalo4-ka]

Natalo4-ka, we have cherries, mulberries and other "southerners", by definition, do not grow. The climate is sharply continental. In summer it happens over 40, that's okay, but in winter it's over 40, but often minus, with winds. Color in spring often beats more frost. So we only buy imported yummy

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, however, there are a lot of cherry seedlings in your area for sale, the search engine "passed"

[Natalo4-ka]

Natalo4-ka, yes, they sell anything, it's an ordinary business, even if you buy oil in a canister

[Natalo4-ka,]

Natalo4-ka, I looked in a search engine - it looks quite similar to myself) I just came across this tree not in the first abandoned garden - what if I really need to collect it, but I don't know? next time I will take a photo and probably collect a little - I'll see what the leaf tastes like)

Yuri K, the parents have a mulberry tree. it hibernates completely without shelter. only the berries have not yet been seen. we planted last year. waiting for an unprecedented harvest

the parents have a mulberry tree. it hibernates completely without shelter. only the berries have not yet been seen. we planted last year. waiting for an unprecedented harvest

Most of our tea-makers did not like sweet cherry, I am no exception, I use it only in mixes. But you try, suddenly you get something extraordinary

Girls and boys, maybe someone can help me found a tree. it has large leathery leaves like cherry - glossy. only the size is larger - 2-3 times. flowers like cherry but single and from the trunk. I do not observe fruits set. what kind of tree could it be? found at the dachas.

Wild pear? As an option.

Flowers from the trunk are often found in sweet cherries.
About cherry tea ... I have different varieties growing. And the aroma of tea is different. Cultivated cherries give off a strong rose aroma when dried. It's a pity, then it is not saved. The seedling, or the so-called wild, gives off a strong smell. Highly. It smells of paint to me. Or smoldering plastic. Made a lot of 50/50 cherries and raspberries last season. All cherry tea lovers said they really like it. I can't drink that, for the life of me!
I'm going to mix raspberries with rose petals. Then I will unsubscribe
