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

[Radushka]

Radushka, I wrote one of these days. When I opened the cartoon, the smell was pleasant. But it was not jam) but after brewing I was disappointed - the infusion is very cloudy. The taste is not pronounced smell. Before that I tempered the leaves - I wanted to put them into mixes. Maybe it affected.
In general, I make raspberries according to the usual recipe - this way I like it better. It didn't work out for me with a guy)))
I read about steamed raspberry granules. But I have already resigned myself so much that raspberries do not granulate that I do not even try)))) I make leafy ones. Storage space for now allows)

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy, I made currants with strawberries and lemon basil. This is some kind of explosion of taste!

[Radushka]

Radushka, mmmmm ... I'm trying to imagine, already drooling!) I dream about currants and dream)) if only after the snow falls, the leaves of natural fermentation from their 2 bushes. In another way, my husband will definitely not let them be collected))))

By the way, I looked into the freezer today and remembered that there have been strawberries for 2 years already. I didn't know where to let her in. It was decided - I'll put it in tea) that's definitely not in vain she lay all this time!)))

If I make a batch of mono with berry juice, it will definitely smell like the desired jam))

here, as a rule, everyone again steps on their own rake. .. rarely anyone listens and hears ...

I did, I stopped doing. Compote taste and color. Simmering gives a more pronounced taste, but then, after dry fermentation. And there are, of course, developments, I mentioned them. But since no one paid attention, now I will leave it with my secrets

Compote taste and color. Simmering gives a more pronounced taste, but then, after dry fermentation.

That's for sure! To me, any tea using berries-fruit-juice reminds me of compote. Even for decorating tea, except for citrus zest, I do not use anything fruit and berry. Better add aromatic herbs, if that

Radushka, depends on the number of berries - can be a great note in a bouquet

A little math in proportioning and I get the desired granules)))

Here I am too. Therefore, the recipes and exhibited with specific proportions and composition. Of course, not all recipes are their own, but those on the basis of which beginners can make their own delicious tea with good granules. But most of them need to reinvent and test their own bicycle. But this cannot be avoided, since it is a manifestation of the overarching law of spiral fractality of system time.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, apparently in the near future I will spend reading your messages in the profile in order to find the very secrets
Oh yes, they are such a tempting rake
If you don't like it, I'll give it to you. There is a lover for any tea

RODA, if a person does not like fruits and berries in tea, then their quantity will not change anything. Radushka has been making tea for several years, I think she already knows for sure what can be a touch, and what is unacceptable for her personally.

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondyZhenechka, last October I made sliced ​​tea from steamed mulberry. I wanted to imitate green tea. Well, something a bit similar came out.This season I thought that I wouldn’t do it (I have to go to the silk station for leaves, but I’m too lazy). I took out the leftovers (the bulk of the tea was sold at the presentation), brewed it, tried it ... I have to go, however ... Almost a year of storage has done its job. Tea has improved a lot

sweet_blondy, I think Radushka can answer for herself
I write not only for her, but also for those who have not yet tried adding berries to mixes .. Because from her post it follows that there will be only a compote result, and this is not always the case ..

[RODA]

RODA, from my post it follows that ANY TEA WITH THE USE OF BERRIES AND FRUITS reminds me of COMPOTE.
Where did I share? Do not attribute to me what I did not say.
The Tea Club has a recipe using berries. It will be appropriate to indicate your experience there, by the way.

[RODA]

RODA, of course it can, but I wanted to insert my own 5 kopecks. I think we are all adults here and we understand that one may not like another to taste. Everyone speaks for himself.

Radushka, I am not attributing anything to you, I understood your message that way ..
And she just clarified that compote is not always obtained

Exactly so) then your so categorical reaction to another opinion is not very clear.
We do not prove anything to anyone here, we just talk and share our experience .. let's do it with the utmost respect !!!

[Radushka]

Radushka, and I'm talking about currants again) this season I made tea currant + apple tree + grapes, currant + raspberry, currant + strawberry, currant + raspberry + strawberry, super-mix with all garden ones with currants. And the leaves are also tempered for the second super-mix from what you like the most. And everywhere all the ingredients are in equal proportions.

[Likar Nadiya]

Likar Nadiya, so I also try to take approximately equal parts in mixes.
But, in the plans, the pear is almost mono. I want to add 20% alder for a more complete imitation of "shop" black tea.
And I want to make currants with strawberries and 20% alder, if you like my today's mix.
30% seemed to me a little more than necessary for my taste.

Lyuda's thank you for such a huge work. Everything is written as accessible and understandable as possible, but questions still arise.
Girls, and if you do it with frying, then how much time to keep? Yesterday I dried apple leaves at 130-120_150 (gas oven, the temperature is approximate) for 15 minutes and then dried them at 80, it did not go down any less. How do you dry? I read it in the topic, but I didn’t take notes and now I can’t find it.
I cut the rolls. The meat grinder refused to work. As a result, 2 pillowcases are dried and I can't put my mind to it. He's so fluffy.

Store in a glass jar. Three-liter holds 300 grams. OR plastic buckets. Here recently Zakhariy exhibited their photo.

Yes, it probably will. Now I chopped raspberry leaves with an apple tree with a food processor. I put it under pressure to ferment. I'll dry it in the evening. I'll try what happens. Small-leaved will be.

I didn't understand why to pour water, and then evaporate and dry it. For pellets?

It is for this who will be interested - they will try. Who doesn't care, well, okay

[Hope]

Hope, you have the ability to poison your soul here, many are crying because of the lack of currants, and you also there and there and more detailed reports please, suddenly next year I will find where to get it. Doesn't it get lost in mixes?



Yesterday I twisted a quince with a rose, danced such dances with a tambourine around her! And she crushed it with a blender and poured water, but she didn't think that it would be so heavy, she decided to take care of the old woman, left it finely. I don't know what will happen. In general, when the children just brewed a leaf and liked the aroma and taste, pleasant, unobtrusive, with a slight bitterness, dark, so I decided to make it with a rose. Has anyone made a quince? Did you have the same difficulties?

[Katerinka]

Katerinka, currants in the mixes are not lost at all, they give a kind of noble velvety taste. Somewhere more, somewhere less comes to the fore. I will make reports with photos, I will tell you in more detail) I have not tried everything yet. I closed it in banks and wait))) and her sheet is in short supply. One big old currant bush. I am worried over each leaf))) gently also put a little in conservation))) I try to propagate, I root the cuttings, let's see how they start.

[Likar Nadiya]

Likar NadiyaWhen the cuttings are cut, break off and dry off the rejected buds at 40, or on paper (they dry well anyway) and add to tea for a currant aroma.

[Luna Nord]

Got it today from Lyudmila Luna Nord awesome and long-awaited package with Ivanka !!! Low bow to her and her husband! Today I will deal with processing, sorting and in general ... I am happy as a kindergartner who vytsyganiv chupa chups from his mother!

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, this is daaaaaaa what happiness!

Well, everything, I ran to fiddle with my husband to repair the car as soon as possible and start in Bashkiria

Well, everything, I ran to fiddle with my husband to repair the car as soon as possible and start in Bashkiria

eh, I should too!

[Radushka]

Radushka, thanks for the advice))) I already do this. Someone wrote here in the spring. So I collected from the spring pruning and today I cut the currants and sorted them: leaves - into tea, buds - to dry, young growth - into cuttings, and twigs - for smoking))) it's all in the case)))

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, I remember suggesting a joint trip. but my husband got into a pose - we only go together.
I thought that we would meet with a friend from Bashkiria, she would show her place. and the husband is not in any. they say we will look for ourselves.
in the end, a friend verbally explained where this place is. but bad luck - it was a derbeinik. its pink flowers for fireweed took this derbeinik by the way we were everywhere and everywhere pursued, confused.
that's it.

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy, it happens

[Welcome]

By the way, I went here to buy a screw for my Soviet meat grinder. I was upset - there is only two-petal (or whatever it is called). alas, I had to buy one. I also took a lattice with more holes, otherwise I now have a lattice with some microscopic ones)
well, everything, ready for making a new portion of tea)))) otherwise the freezer is bursting at the seams again

on a tip Welcome I will make tea for 12 components - raspberries, cherries, plums, sea buckthorn, pear, apple, rose hips, elk, grapes, blackberries, irga and garden strawberries.

kidneys - to dry

Do you cut them off in the spring?
And what then will be dismissed?

Today I made on the advice of Radushka, raspberries, currants, pears, apple trees, strawberries. Strawberries steamed at night. She took the bag with the rest out of the freezer for the night.
It turned out a kilogram of raw materials, it turned out to be a lot for me, I need to make a smaller batch, it's hard to twist so much at once
But that's not what I really wanted to write about. And about the fact that I decided to try new, for me, ways of twisting.
The single screw option swept aside immediately. The leaves do not break almost the first time, and it will take a long time to transfer them here and there.
The second way is to break the leaves first with a hand blender. And yet, yes, this option is just super-duper
It went so quickly, I didn't expect it myself. Gradually grinded, then immediately twisted.
And the hand was practically not tired.
When grinding, a little juice seems to be released, and the leaves scroll perfectly.
Immediately, we got strong granules, I didn't have to twist it a second time, which I am very happy about.
I really liked doing this !!! Recommend.
Girls, and who shared their experience, please respond pliz, I'll throw a big thank you
Tea dries up, the aroma is awesome.
Now I am slowly tidying up strawberries, there are a lot of leaves, I want to make a steamed mono.
I would like to add a little flavor addition. Can anyone advise?

[Podmosvichka]

Podmosvichka, I am very glad that you began to get teas! I still remember a completely different mood, and now I don't know!

Has anyone tried a walnut?

I tried. The leaves dried for a long time, rather they began to dry out, so I rolled them into a cloth. Then she twisted it, and even those that seemed to be quite juicy turned out to be dry in appearance, crumbled. I suspect that they, like currants and raspberries, should be in the freezer. I just dried this batch - oxidized it, like mint in fasting. Since the smell comes from the essential oil, this may be the best option. I'll try to make a fermented one - unsubscribe. The oxidized one turned out to be similar in taste and appearance to black, plus a nutty smell, plus astringency / bitterness at the end, also nutty.

I still remember a completely different mood, and now I don't know!

Yeah
My husband said that I completely messed with my leaves
Yur, what are you doing to me? We drank your tea back in spring at broodershaft

[Podmosvichka]

Podmosvichka, I cut the currants in the spring and collected the buds from all the cut branches. I dried everything, put it in a jar. It's such a scent, beyond words. Today I also cleared my only bush, and put everything into action)

Clear. I prune currants in the fall.

Yesterday I went to the neighbors for cherries. Such a tree is clean, the leaves are all intact.
I also want to steam up. Somehow this option will look more polished to me, the aroma is simply enchanting.
If you like the smell, I'll go and dial it, anyway, before you have time to look around, everything will fly around
Happy first autumn day everyone

What are you doing to me? We drank your tea back in spring at broodershaft

Flax, forgot

Dear experts, did anyone "use" the viburnum? Or is it not worth bothering? It seems that she was not mentioned anywhere in the topic. Or maybe I missed it. In the voting, the viburnum is indicated, but with a small percentage. And someone mentioned exactly hazel. I can't find how it ended

and somebody "used" viburnum?

Me, but in mixes. Yes, and I met mentions like a search. Nothing supernatural, some kind of dry leaf, she did not like me.

Thank you, Yuri. So I won't even bother. Still, it's not in vain that a survey is conducted at the beginning of the topic.

And someone mentioned exactly hazel. I can't find how it ended

Helen, I was making hazel, I can't say that I liked the taste ..... it's kind of flat, almost like tea made from linden leaves. I also did it with viburnum, but I don’t remember what taste, probably the same if I don’t remember it. The best mix came from grape leaves of different varieties, barberry, pink leaves, strawberry, apple and pear leaves with the addition of Ivanushka flowers.

friends, it is very sunny on my windowsill today. decided to take a picture. good morning everyone and have a nice tea!
apple tree, rosehip, plum and irga

cherry, raspberry, strawberry

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy,

[Luna Nord]

Luna Nord, Luda, and what rose is the pink leaf from?

[sweet_blondy]

What rose is the pink leaf from?

Radushka, from rose hips and a little from the park, very odorous.



sweet_blondy, Zhenya, beauty!

about hazel, someone mentioned exactly. I can’t find how it ended

Not only mentioned, but also report wrote .
And then recipe made.

Again we are lazy to read. For these, there is a search bar at the top of each page. We hammer in the expression of interest and read the answers. But I wonder why those who read for sure are silent, do not prompt

You've read a lot here, you can't remember everything right away Yes, and everything is correct about the search engine, and you also need to remind about the first page!

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, "they" are hoping that once interested, but lazy, will start reading ... Eh ...

Guys, I'm new to the forum. About the search bar. I have two of them at the top of the page. When I write the words of interest in any of them, the results are displayed throughout the forum, but how to search within a specific topic?

[KameJIia]

KameJIia, no way. Search by keywords. It is possible that more information will be found in other topics.

[Linadoc]

why those who have read exactly are silent, do not prompt

Linadoc, what's the point? At the beginning of the page you will answer, at the end of the page, again the same question! I tied it up with this case ... it's better to answer in a personal!
