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

[al_usya]

Thank you so much! I will definitely do it !!! Every year, throwing these shoots away, I really feel sorry for them. Now I'll do everything.



al_usya, that's what I meant. didn't know how to use !!! Now everything is clear!!! Add to tea !!! Thanks again!!!
Thanks to all the girls !!!!

I'll have to try it too, although we have pines with fire during the day))

[Radushka]

Radushka, and according to your recipes, raspberries are already being prepared !!!



Yuri K, this is a completely different topic! We prune pine trees every year. So that they are beautifully formed!

[Irina742]

Irina742, Correctly Nadia wrote, the recipe is on the first page.
I was just in a hurry!

No, well, this is not a conversation! I'm very interested in the pictures)) So we are waiting))

if only I had guessed HOW to do it !!! I have uploaded several photos to my gallery, but how can I insert them here? to be honest. I broke my whole brain! I insert, and he writes to me that beginners cannot insert external (?) links, or something like that (((



and yet, when I pulled the pear out of the bucket for drying, in appearance this mass reminded me so much of the tea * pu-erh * which is sent from the Chinese website. I thought * but is there as much TEA growing in China as it is being sent? What leaves is it made of?)))

[Irina742]

Irina742, I also made according to the recipe from the first page, the tea itself from them is certainly peculiar, but delicious. I think as a vitamin supplement for the winter and as a flavoring additive to other teas will be used

Pine tea should be added just a little when brewing to other teas, the taste is interesting, and you can also add a little mint there according to Lina's recipe, it will be even tastier.

these are raspberry leaf pellets



Hurrah!!! like it turned out !!!
1. Picture in text:

and this is pear leaf tea.



these are pear leaf granules



here is raspberry tea


and currant leaves))) raspberries turned out darker. maybe fried more?

Well, congratulations! And with tea, and with photos!

and this morning I have already gone and typed the leaves. now I will do everything right according to Zachariah
apple tree, strawberry, blackberry, irga, rosehip, goof - my standard set from this grove)
we are going to the dacha with an overnight stay - tomorrow I will pick cherries, plums and hope to get to the pear at last

kstaaaaaaaaaaaaaaati, here I decided to get the tea that cherry + raspberry + strawberry was making that week. one of which is from the wrong batch, over-fermented. the color is awesome, of course there is no smell, but the taste has light notes of dried fruit compote. I give my husband a try and say what I made of. he liked it, he just asked a question - why does dried fruit taste? magic husband, magic!
so that I have completely calmed down and am exterminating my "spoiled" reserves further. today I plan 2 batches of tea

[sweet_blondy]

I further destroy my "spoiled" stocks

sweet_blondy, Evgeniya, but leave them alone! Months at least 2.

Chaedels, who lack color and astringency, add real tea to the brew. Not much, but there will be color and astringency.

[Light,]

Light, under the spoiled stocks I meant the leaves that were not put into action yet

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy, Evgeniya, Ah, got it. A - then

the tea that cherry + raspberry + strawberry made that week. the one from the wrong series

I thought about ready-made tea. And since last week it's too early to try.

Well, congratulations! And with tea, and with photos!

Thank you very much, I am very pleased with the tea.today before the rain I managed to cut the roses. I will save up slowly, as there are few bushes, Tomorrow I will take care of cherry leaves, and if it doesn't rain, I'll pick up more leaves. I need to have time to collect the pear before all the leaves are damaged .. I think that I will not buy tea soon in the store)))

Oh, by the way, I do it quite often!



And yet, today he tore off his soft causal seat from the chair in front of the computer, and made another trip to the lair of a wild beast - midges and mosquitoes. On the run I grabbed everything that grows tasty and blooms beautiful
Of course, in hindsight, I understand that he is still a spender, and they say the petals need to be dried separately, but everything was collected in one large package, it was not up to packing in this hell! Let it be so, for now




Girls, who can tell me what I could get for weed? According to the first, rubbing it in my fingers, it was immediately clear that it was mint. But now the foliage has been drying for several hours, I found a leaf, crumpled it - it does not smell absolutely mint, it smells like some kind of medicine, the smell is very pungent. Can you identify the species by the leaves? It’s a pity I didn’t take the camera there, which I just didn’t meet: both lilies of the valley and poppies are real, large (the dream of drug addicts), and there are plenty of wild roses.

Maybe a lofant?

[Zeamays]

Zeamays, not like, looked at the photo. There are plants up to my waist, with such a bluish haze. Leaves rarely come from the stem, do not branch. The leaf is more run-down, the lofant is different. Next time I will take the camera with me, although it weighs, mom ... I have a DSLR)

[Radushka]

Radushka, and according to your recipes, raspberries are already being prepared !!!

I am very very happy! Let it all work out! (and will like it)
sweet_blondy, Zhenya, and Svetyashka is right! Don't you have anything else to drink?

[Radushka]

and Svetyashka is right! You have nothing more to drink

Radushka,

Oh, by the way, I do it quite often!

Looks like wild sage leaves

something I thought of - the leaves look like meadow sage

Looks like wild sage leaves

By the way, yes, it looks like a meadow sage leaf, only it has a lanceolate, slightly rounded leaf. Perhaps a kind))) Thank you! In any case, not henbane! )))

I added them to the tea, super!

[Lutik]

Lutik, well if it's him! But why am I confused with mint? Does he smell of mint when fresh is plucked?

[Lutik]

Lutik, well if it's him! But why am I confused with mint? Does he smell of mint when fresh is plucked?

Not Melissa?

[lily_a]

lily_a, what are you))) Even a schoolboy will feel melissa, she has a gorgeous aroma
All the same, it looks like it is meadow sage, let it be!

And you throw off the photo of the whole plant, there are a lot of varieties of mint, maybe one of them, but I think all the same sage

Help me find information about pine shoots!

You can just scroll and dry without frying, but the granules crumble. You can cook excellent jam.
I add candles to the mixes up to 5-10%, ice, twist and ferment everything together. Excellent granules and light pine aroma.
This weekend I made another batch of tea, it turned out dry 1kg200g. Not enough, of course, but I still have greenhouses-a vegetable garden-potatoes-garden-hen-house-mowing grass-trees sawing-baking-and I also had to fix the scooter, it didn't start (and I ride it after Ivanushka with a backpack) This time it's even not a mix, but Ivanushka with additives - 80% Ivanushka, 15% raspberries, 5% sucker. I collected everything in the rain (once more), and 2 weeks of continuous rains made their contribution. Of course, I blotted everything with a towel, but still Vanka dried up for 14 hours, stirred every half hour, at 4 am I got to condition, I rolled him tightly into a sheet and left him in the cold until morning. In the morning she spun everything together and fermented for 4-5.5 hours (the first batch began to fry after 4 hours, the last batch after 5.5 hours). Since raspberries and suckers are only 20% together, the granules were strong and free from freezing. The aroma is great, it did not disappear even after drying, only it became less pronounced. While I was driving home from the dacha to dry up, I enjoyed the aroma in the car all the way.

There are a lot of varieties of mint, maybe one of them, but I think all the same sage

More like some kind of mint, sage has no teeth on the edge and the color is gray.

sage has no teeth on the edge and the color is gray.

Here are the leaves almost one to one with the ones I found))

[Radushka]

Radushka, I left for work, having stuffed Ivan-tea + bird cherry in the cartoon by 60 degrees. And tell me, please, why without frying? And if you fry it a little? Have not tried?

Here are the leaves almost one to one with the ones I found

Oh, it looks like! Although they are with mint, lemon balm, basil, lamb, catnip, oregano and thyme of the same botanical family - Yasnotkovy. This means that the structure should be close. And you can make tea from them in the same way.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, here in the last mix there is a little, besides the rose petals! I can't even imagine what will happen there!

[Linadoc,]

Linadoc, how delicious it will be!
Do you already have Ivan-tea in bloom?
I was recently told that in the nearest to us Bashkiria has not bloomed yet - they say we have to wait for the middle of July. but I'm afraid without flowers I can't recognize him

how delicious it will be!

Aha! Those who have tasted my teas have already lined up in a long queue, placed orders

Do you already have Ivan-tea in bloom?

Yes, of course not. This year it only appeared a month ago, but it became possible to collect it a couple of weeks ago, otherwise it was quite tiny. It will bloom only after a couple of weeks. Yes, it doesn't matter, it is not blooming, very tasty and aromatic, if done correctly.

I understand that it is possible and not blooming to collect) I just cannot identify it, most likely without flowers at all
oooh, another 2-3 weeks of waiting, and the pens are already itching!)

[Radushka]

Radushka, I left for work, having stuffed Ivan-tea + bird cherry in the cartoon by 60 degrees. And tell me, please, why without frying? And if you fry it a little? Have not tried?

Natasha, just today, in the cartoon, she was also tormenting raspberries and cherries (just a little bit,). Heated on heating. Now I scrolled and decided to make half with a frying, and half without. I will unsubscribe about the result.
Last year I made a stew from different leaves, it turned out very fragrant, but made a leafy one.
Now I was tormenting raspberries and cherries, the aroma is awesome! It doesn't smell of cherry, or maybe it doesn't smell to me .... But there is a delicate aroma of a rose, although it is not here .... some kind of magic!
Yes, I did it in a meat grinder.

[Nadyushich]

Nadyushich,

there is a delicate aroma of a rose, although it is not here .... some kind of magic!

Here! She said that cherries (not all, some varieties) smell like a rose! Moreover, strongly!




Natalia-NN, I don’t know what I didn’t fry ... I liked the aroma so much that I didn’t even think.
Today I'm making a hybrid, so to speak.
The rose petals will be fermented and the raspberries will be stewed. Then (as the fermentation of the petals ends), twist everything together and dry at 70.
As I cut a strawberry plantation, I will try to make these leaves with a rose. But, not stewed, but fermented. I don't have enough strawberries in my garden to experiment with languor. I add it to the mixes.

Here! She said that cherries (not all, some varieties) smell like a rose! Moreover, strongly!

My cherry is wild, so there is always one variety. But it just doesn't smell like fermented, only stewed ... If it doesn't rain, tomorrow I'll pick up some stewed raspberries, if the aroma is like that, then the tea will be delicious.



Well, I dried it and welded it.


With frying, the color is slightly brighter, the taste is also brighter.
When dried, the aroma of rose was replaced by the aroma of raspberry jam.
Both lots are mixed into one pillowcase. Now I will taste in a few weeks. I will make the next batch with a fry, definitely tastier, for me at least.

I have an urgent question! In the search, I honestly looked, I did not find any reviews at all. The other day with a friend we are going to collect thyme, so can it be used in our tea business, that is, fermented? Or is it just drying for him?

Drying only! Plants containing essential oils and not containing tannins are not suitable for tea. Only as a flavoring agent. Dry at 40 degrees. This rule is the same, regardless of the name of the plant.

the first season, I also did everything with fermentation, my hands itched and curiosity gnawed, and so, nothing good came out of basil, mint, motherboard after fermentation ...

Only as a flavoring agent.

It is a pity, it means a lot and not needed to collect. I'll look for something else, steppe and meadow grasses, only I would not study botany according to the school course))

[Yuri K,]

Yuri K, share the coordinates where you can collect thyme. I love him sooo, I just can't find him

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy, but I don’t know, my friend is taking me to my place. To my shame, I don’t even know his taste ...

[Linadoc]

Have Linadoc, there is a recipe for "Fiber and fermented herbal tea", like so.

[Elena Kadiewa]

Elena Kadiewa, yes, I once read about the fermentation of spicy herbs, and they wrote about mint here, which seems to be working out well. But the herbs are still different, the mint turns out, and the other can go. The meadowsweet is also good weed - but no, only found negative reviews

I made from basil.



Amazing!

[Elena Kadiewa]

Elena Kadiewa, mono? How can you describe the taste and aroma?

[Nadyushich]

Nadyushich, Nadyush, then my intuition did not let me down. I immediately began to fry. Now it is drying in the dryer.

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, and you look through the recipe, there are many reviews and discussions about basil, mint and even like thyme.

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy, Evgeniya, I'm not very thyme.
There are always houses.

Plants containing essential oils and not containing tannins are not suitable for tea. Only as a flavoring agent.

They are great for tea, both mono and in mixes. Because tannins contain, and we have already learned how to preserve essential oils. Here Mix report, lavender tea report, Fermented tea and fiber from aromatic herbs
This is all from aromatic herbs. And thyme also belongs here, also from Yasnotkovy.And its taste after fermentation becomes pleasant, aromatic, not harsh. But it's still better to add something neutral - apple, plum, blackthorn, pear.
Yes, and maybe those who have tried my teas with these herbs will write their own review, otherwise I feel uncomfortable praising myself like that
