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

[Yuri K]

Elena Kadiewa, will fail)

Yuri K, I will succeed! I made frosty there, at the former place of residence, and here, at the new one, I received a gift from her,Linadocand not only tea!
The main thing is what? In time to faint ...

[exactly]

The main thing is what? In time to faint ...

Hmm, for some reason it does not fall from its own, probably because in the process you get the inoculation of aromas But from a gift made by others - it was a similar state I remember how Elena-Borisenok shocked me!

And mint is a must.

Here ... Again I'll go to the river to wind the mileage, I didn't think about it at all (((




And the most important thing. What a deadly wonderful aroma I get after repeated freezing / thawing exactly autumn leaves - yellow burgundy !!!!! It doesn't matter if it's a blackberry, or an apple-pear collection, or a blackberry! I haven't got such a powerful fruity aroma from summer leaves! Well, perhaps from sage (because apparently he was my favorite season), but there it is cloyingly sweet, and here - such a noble, simple charm! It's a pity only when the bags are opened it breaks out, I spend all the cycles in food, tightly twisted

[Yuri K]

Hello everyone!
And I seem to have given up tea this year. Well, there is still stock in the freezers, of course, but there is nowhere else to store. Neither dry nor leaves.

I dream of a chest freezer, but there is no place for it ... even if money appears

I made a lot of different mixes with currant leaves. The frying removes the strong currant aroma and makes the tea simply delicious!
Yuri K, I liked the forest blackberry mixed with the apple tree of the last season only after a year of storage (as well as the mix with the sucker). This year I made blackberry + pear + apple + meadow strawberry. I haven't tried it yet. Although, three months have already passed. The most interesting thing is what happened

[Elena Kadiewa]

The main thing is what? In time to pass out

Elena Kadiewa, Linadoc, I fell

[Light]

Light, so it is necessary to fall in sight!
Or warning ...

But from a gift made by others - there was a similar state

I would like to know Zhenya's opinion. She also received my seagulls together with Vanka's tops and roots. And disappeared with it all

[Radushka]

Yoksel moxel. So today I spun the mileage, but it all started simply. I went as I wrote above for mint
Well, I typed a bag, good, and I had to look at the top, there is a tree on the cliff, on the tree it seems like bunches of oyster mushrooms ... I climbed, for sure! High, podkovyrnul stick, then let's look, found a little more little things. Well, then, of course, I went into the deep jungle ... I climbed for three hours when I was idle. I got bored a lot .. And then I went out on the path, which leads to my blackberry meadow. As a result, I picked another leaf. I went out at 11 am, came at 4:30 pm, wooden legs
But I breathed in oxygen! Warm, calm and beautiful in the forest by the river!
While the blanks. A blackberry leaf is dried, in packages - there is a hardening prepared as a component for coniferous / mint tea, a basin with needles and a basin with mint







Radushka, I will try what happens, I will decide for the next season, whether it is still worth picking the forest blackberries. Painfully tedious and prickly procedure

[Elena Kadiewa]

so it is necessary to fall in sight

Elena Kadiewa, mom, where am I?
In sight!

In whose sight?
Elchik began to forget you! the missing...

[Elena Kadiewa]

the missing

Elena Kadiewa,

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Linochka, I'm tutochka! barely alive but tutochki! the canning business tortured me a little.
I all wanted to report back after the photos are taken. it didn't work out on the weekend

Friends, Linochka sent me a parcel here. In general, I asked Vanechka - seeds and roots, and she also sent me two of her teas!
gods, as I read the composition, my drool is already flowing! and how she opened the bags - such a scent! and the taste at a height realized that even my seven-component gulls cannot be compared with these. I also learn and learn! Lina ours approaches tea making so thoroughly. everything is scientific, in the right way. Lina, I should enroll in your school next year
roots planted seeds set aside for next year.
Thank you very much, my dear!



with tea, I'm all sad. the fuse subsided. in the freezer, the purchased meat for the winter significantly pressed the leaves. that's why I prepared 1 batch at the weekend. lie in the refrigerator for one more leaves, but there is no strength at all in the evening ... how much can you keep them in the refrigerator? lie there since saturday
on weekends were swoop in the country. finally dug up their 4 blackcurrant bushes from abandoned summer cottages - they took one to their parents, and planted three at home. I really hope they will get accustomed with our eyes caught on pear leaves, my raspberries, apple trees. it's time to make frosty tea! I also have young apricots and a black chokeberry - if the leaves linger on the trees until the weekend, I will collect
Yura, you are talking about difficulties with pines, but I have 6 trees on the site from the previous owners! and that 1 tree was dug in the first year when we were not engaged in the site, the second we broke when we were destroying a big tree. that's why it was planting 8 pines on the site? I do not understand. although our neighbors say they are the only ones who have taken root. all others do not grow. and we are now looking at them. so big already! fluffy! and planted near the power lines ... a little more and it will be necessary to cut them off so that they do not climb onto the wires. and indeed we want to cut them down. for the new year we will put the parents)) we will leave one pine tree - so that when we build a house on NG we will decorate))
and also a poplar grew in the middle of the site. so huge! why his past owner raised him - also a mystery covered in darkness

[Linadoc]

Yura, you are talking about the difficulties with the pines, but I have 6 trees on the site from the previous owners!

You can say lucky, but I hardly got conifers in my Kurmish. I emphasize that everything mined within the peshkodrap would have been easier by car, but we are not looking for easy ways. True, taking into account other components, the batch will turn out to be a huge Autumn blackberry shocked me like sage once, aroma during a series of defrosting (on quenching in cycles) - just bombic, purely fruity! Scratching my turnips, to put everything into the game of "Frosty", or to do it for a test? What I found on the blackberry - I read it, and Iris responded, but I am sorry to lose such a fragrance in the mixes, it will smear and will not recognize ...





Linadoc, Lina, when scrolling the needles, the smell from the mass stands for freshly cut lawn grass with sourness, is this in the order of things? I hope the tea tastes different ...

when scrolling the needles, the smell from the mass stands for freshly cut lawn grass with sourness

Hmm, staaaanno! My needles smell like needles. Moreover, cypress is cypress, and pine, which is unexpected, pine! Maybe because I cut them off with scissors, and not mowed them with an oblique one. And you mowed with a scythe that the smell of haymaking went? In general, this smell appears during ensiling - the process of lactic acid fermentation. During the fermentation of raw sugar under anaerobic conditions, lactic and acetic, and sometimes propionic acids are accumulated. So you have anaerobic conditions there. We need to open the package. Or a distortion of perception. I do not know. I nevertheless hardened according to Zakhar in a leaky bag. And then I played it all together, left it for 2 hours. I had a distinctly mint-fruity-pine scent with notes of white flowers. But I have 20% alder there. Now the pillowcase smells sweet on the balcony

In general, this smell appears during ensiling - the process of lactic acid fermentation. During the fermentation of raw sugar under anaerobic conditions, lactic and acetic, and sometimes propionic acids are accumulated. So you have anaerobic conditions there. We need to open the package.

It is excluded, I am writing about the smell while rolling the needles in a meat grinder. Before that, she lay in a basin uncovered by anything

I nevertheless hardened according to Zakhar in a leaky bag.

Needles too ???

Well yes! Well, I wilted everything, mixed it, mixed it with my hands and stuffed it into the bag. Then three times for 4-6 hours of freezing and defrosting, and then scrolling and 2 hours of fermentation. Everything, fruit + needles + alder + mint. Together.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, but in the recipe I did not understand about the needles. And of course I did not temper it, I counted, there are needles, what can change in it? We'll have to freeze / unfreeze the twist, at least once! But with the already fermenting foliage, don't know what to do, it was spinning under the needles (((
So the ambush happened.

Yur, don't freeze the needles. Fermented the leaves and add needles. Spin the second time as you wanted. I used naturally fermented leaves in the recipe, so I did everything together. And now I imitate it by tempering the mixture. That's all. No need to freeze the needles separately.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, understood thanks. Made the first batch - the aroma at the end of drying is woody, slightly coniferous. It looks like the sun-warmed needles dropped in a pine forest. The granules turned out to be loose, even after the second joint twisting (with the addition of water). I'll brew it for testing in the morning.

In order to enhance mutual understanding on the forum and with the hope of improving the mood of each reader:

If you go to the forum topic to understand that:

- all different, with their own interests, with their own attitude to life
- appeals in a commanding tone of an imperative mood are unlikely to tune in to joyful communication, and even more so will not become a guarantee of good relations
- flame (dispute for the sake of dispute) is not the best way of heart communication
- if the reader has the time / desire / opportunity / opportunity to answer / help to the question asked in the topic, those who read it (and even more so, those who are “at the origins”) have the time / desire / opportunity to answer / help, it is not at all necessary to oblige to study “the whole materiel”, it is quite enough
* if the question is simple and can be answered immediately, let the form of the answer and its tone leave in a good mood and a desire to thank, and not turn against yourself
* if the answer did not immediately "come to mind" - you can recommend using the extremely convenient search form above the forum topic (how to do this most optimally for everyone - in the section

can be seen here

(plagued by vague doubts that not all are regulars and admirers of this topic)
* if even after that the question "remained on the agenda" - leave the questioner in full confidence that everything will be fine you can ask / clarify / find out from someone else, and there will definitely be an answer
A good example is the following situation:

asked here

, and needed

this correct answer

which was successfully found thanks to keywords

I'll write to her ...

but not at all

recipe

, extremely curious, but not this time.
If you do just that, there is a high probability that the questioner will have burning the desire to take advantage of the opportunity and click on "thank" under the profile of the person who helped, and not vice versa (and in fact it can even reach personal happiness for someone).
Those who wish to try to use immense forum space for the embodiment of their interests, especially

from idleness

it can be recommended to remember that a constant and persistent intention to attract albeit unique personal attention in places that are not "talkers" - can be regarded as a frank little-information flood, interesting exclusively to those who wrote it.Of course, any forum is not a scientific conference with the presentation of strictly technical data, and of course, emotions-discussions-comments are inevitable, and a positive attitude and goodwill are welcome - the key to future warm communication. It is much more useful to "revive" topic with useful information.
For those who regret not being able to use

this trick

to demonstrate your attitude, you should rejoice at the foresight of the administration, which thus prevented a massive invasion of haters (it is from such a load that weaker sites can collapse). The friendliness of the site is determined by the ability to show positive qualities and refrain from the opposite.
I really hope that many people understand that the administrators / moderators already have a lot of load responsibility, which is what some spammers, trolls, flooders, oppositionists and other entities are worth - virtuality contributes to their increase.

And more specific - if you look at the list of topics in the "Tea Club" and see there those who asked Lyudmila in her recipes (being fully confident that they got where they needed to and will immediately receive the expected answer) - and at least orientate person - it will get "minus one" for dissatisfaction and definitely "+" to karma

not virtual

... There is no doubt that this will delight the Good Person who has invested so much in the topics.

Tea-lovers of all countries-times-peoples - unite!

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, Linadoc, and I will outline everything tomorrow I will go to collect raw materials.
I still really want to try to make stewed raspberries a second time. everyone succeeds I have not read everything again, I will work on the mistakes

[Zhen]

ABOUT, Zhen, well done for reporting! And again, well done, that you outline everything! A very correct approach! I, too, always wrote down everything, the slightest nuances, so that later you could analyze and deduce the conditions for obtaining exactly the result that I needed. But this is already my habit, developed over many years, and it seems to me not harmful. Good luck!

Hello tea fairies!
Take a brand new tea maniac.
I was interested in tea fermentation several years ago. I tried to make a vanechka from the MK video - I frankly spoiled the raw materials (sorry .... sour ...)
In early August, I stumbled upon this MK in the Facebook news feed and disappeared! First, I studied the recipe itself and quickly rushed off to pluck the wild pear at my mother's country house, and her raspberries and strawberries. Raspberries were stewed in a yogurt maker, and a pear with strawberries was made according to Zakhar.
Then, with a notebook and a pen, I read the WHOLE topic, thank you HUGE to everyone (and especially to Lyudmila) for such colossal work and patience.
.... and at this moment from the "little interest" the "big caterpillar" was born ....
now I'm just looking at what else to cut off at the seagulls, since we have a lot of leaves of all sorts.

made almost 1,600 tea in August (raspberry, pear-strawberry, pear, apple tree)
in September 4,200 (cherries, grapes, black chops, strawberries, apricots, raspberries simmered in a slow cooker, raspberries in a yogurt maker, raspberries with berries, hand-rolled strawberries)
well, in October, already 7,300 (mojito, raspberry-apple-strawberry, bird cherry, cherry, cherry in a yogurt maker, cherry in a slow cooker, raspberry-strawberry-apple-tree-currant-pear stewed in a slow cooker, apple-plum-cherry, chopped bird cherry, apple tree -grape-strawberry, apple-raspberry-cherry, strawberry-raspberry-currant-apple-pear, plum-raspberry-cherry, grape-raspberry-cherry and 8-in-1: strawberry-currant-rosehip-cherry-plum-apple tree -grapes-cherry)
total: more than 13kg
... well ... boasted ... will you accept it in your company?

... well ... boasted ... will you accept it in your company?

Why not? Good people are welcome here! Write about your developments, "discoveries" and results, it's very interesting to read!

[olya-s-kostopolya]

olya-s-kostopolya, Welcome! so happy to see a new enthusiast!
great volume! have already tried some of your seagulls

[Yuri K]

Yuri Khow is your morning cup of frosty tea?)

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, sweet_blondy, Thank you for your hospitality! I tasted tea, of course, and treated my parents and friends - such a delicious!
I'm all going to arrange a "photo session" for my seagulls ..... until my hands reach ...

I'm all going to arrange a "photo session" for my seagulls ..... until my hands reach ...

It is a pity, but there will be more time, we will wait!

how is your morning cup of frosty tea?)

Just tried it! I will say this, I did not get Linin tea, not "Frosty freshness". I would say I got "Forest Bliss" Sweetish taste from blackberry leaves, barely perceptible aroma of needles, on the verge of extinction, and rich taste of other plants. But I overdid it a little, I really had to make the proportions of conifers and deciduous according to the Linear recipe, it turned out the other way around. A lot of blackberry leaves were added, but I will not attribute this moment to the disadvantages!
My associations opposite to Linin turned out! In winter, tea will resemble summer, heat, because the shade of the needles I have is comparable to the fallen needles heated in the hot sun in the forest! It's like lying in a blackberry meadow and smelling summer



I urgently ran for another batch of blackberry leaves !!! Positively he is to my taste!
It's a pity I have no more needles yet! Obviously one of the best mixes of the season came out in my collection, paired with blackberries!

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, oh, how many epithets that! I should be able to describe it like that)
By the way, I have a blackberry leaf - it smells delicious in the jar! I add it to my various tea compositions. the ones that I make with herbs. I should try to brew separately)
Yura, I don't promise yet, but maybe I can help with the pine tree tomorrow we're going to the dacha. I will estimate how many needles on the tree that we plan to harvest first. only I cannot promise that these will be young twigs - in the spring I have already cut off the candles on this tree. but the needles will be green. will go?

[sweet_blondy]

I don't promise yet, but maybe I can help with the pine. But the needles will be green. will go?

More than, Zhen! I, too, cut off high tips from old pines! Then from the small branches I separated purely needles




sweet_blondy, you can't imagine, the second day at home is the aroma of the Buzuluk heated pine forest during drying! All pathogenic flora go in horror

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, well, everything, agreed! I'll unsubscribe on Sunday then
but how is it, there is forest bliss, but there is no frosty freshness



Yuri K, the heated Buzuluk pine forest in October is already too practically disinfection))))
By the way, I have a jar with dried pine candles in May. under the plastic cover in the cabinet. as I open it - it smells like a new year there! I'll wait and sniff and close) I don't know what tea to add)

Buzuluk pine forest in October is already too practically disinfection))))

And in January it will look like, can you imagine ???
To evaluate the resulting batch, I put my cell phone with granules, it is problematic, pine does not granulate, and even blackberries behave like raspberries, also in dust, well, it's not scary!

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, good basin sizes
By the way, I kneaded the May blackberries with handles) there were almost the first leaves) so tender! and the aroma is indescribable!

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy, but I liked the autumn ones right up to the rumbling in my stomach, especially when hardening the aroma from the bags!

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, and I'll pick and compare

Yuri K, and I'll pick and compare

This is the right decision! By the way, from different places the leaf is very different, both in quality (there are glades where the leaf is all stained with some kind of clutches of black eggs with a poppy seed. And there is a pure, pure!), And in aroma! Choose one that grows in sunny places, not very thick!

[olya-s-kostopolya]

olya-s-kostopolya, We greet you! our regiment has arrived!

[Yura]

and at this moment the "big caterpillar" was born from the "little interest"

Oooo !, Immediately visible - our man! We are always glad to new "big caterpillars" !!!

well .... boasted

excellent result! It is immediately clear that the person studied the topic very carefully and immediately tried everything in practice to consolidate what he learned! Clever girl!

others just ignore

Exactly! Better positive communication and exchange of experience than pseudo-moral negativism.

subtle scent of pine needles

Yura, if the needles and mint disappear, then the frying and drying T is too high. We need to reduce.

ran for another batch of blackberry leaves

Directly infected, now I'll go to the dacha, cut off all the blackberries

I, too, cut off high tips from old pines! Then from the small branches I separated purely needles

That is why there may be less aroma too! I cut with scissors as in the photo in the recipe and scroll along with the branches. True, cypress clogs pine and all other scents, except alder. She is invincible!

almost disinfection))))

Exactly! This tea will give odds to many antiseptics and antibiotics! I also added lingonberry leaves and scrolled

Well, yes, well, yes ... stages of development: interest in the topic, then a goose is born (Radushka's expression), and then a toad !!!

if the needles and mint disappear, then the frying and drying T is too high. We need to reduce. I cut with scissors as in the photo in the recipe and scroll along with the branches.

I'll take into account Lina's temperature! But with twigs ... I will not risk it, the meat grinder is chewing the needles with howling and complaints, or even wood

Directly infected, now I'll go to the dacha, cut off all the blackberries

I am a forest, wild, not a garden ditch

[olya-s-kostopolya]

olya-s-kostopolya, Olya, welcome to the "big caterpillar" family

stages of development: interest in the topic, then a goose is born (Radushka's expression), and then a toad !!!

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Elena Kadiewa, Yuri K, Light, Radushka, huge thanks for the warm welcome. I hope for fruitful communication, but I just need to figure out how everything works here.
I ask for YOU, please.
I don't know how to tell about the tastes of tea so beautifully ... sorry in advance ...
My youngest son is very fond of my tea - he asks: "Brew me your tea" with love ", and my husband brews his bags of flavored chemistry, says that mine reminds him of medicinal herbs, only cherry" ... well, this ... maybe to be .... my friend on a fishing trip brewed cherry twigs, it is very similar .... ", but I do not lose hope to teach him ....

Girls! I don’t know who reacted to the blackberry leaf and why, but I have pure delight! The aroma is indescribable, when drying it was fruity candy, when brewing - the same aroma + light lemon sourness! The taste is the same as in the aroma, some kind of confiture with a kind of sourness! According to my wife, it is very tart, I did not feel this moment ... I did it specifically mono in order to feel the nuances! The color really pumped up, there is no vigorous saturation, it is lightish, I write off this moment for a small dosage during brewing and a high content of salicylates. Since granulated has a higher density, and this finely cut one is practically fluffy, so you need to put more on the brew. In general, in the future, I will only do this in mono!

[Yuri K]

Yuri K, congratulations on the opening!)

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy, Thank you! Indeed, during this season, several types of tea caused surprise and a kind of euphoria for me))) Two are decorated with recipes, and this third, blackberry (autumn)
Yesterday we did not manage to go to the training camp. Today I will run urgently! From tomorrow the rains will charge ...
I don’t even know what I’ll do with the pine needles, there will be no foliage left to collect ...
By the way, after standing in a tissue bag on dry pre-fermentation for some two days, the coniferous tree acquired the characteristic aromas of pine



I'm running away!

And I already hit the road. In total, it is 110 km there and 110 km back.And I scored a bag of apple and pear leaves (crumbled, collected directly from the roof of the garage), a bag of blackberries and raspberries (they do not crumble and scratch) and a bag of cypress and pine. But since I collected it in heavy rain, which has been going on for the third day, everything is now drying and drying. And I have a bag already hardened in the freezer. While collecting raspberries, I found quite tasty berries. And I have so many blackberries that her hands don't cut it, so she's like wild with me

When all the leaves were harvested, a distinct fruity aroma of the fermented leaves was felt. Actually, natural fermentation has already begun.
By the way, the genus of crimson in Latin is called Rubus, which means "blackberry". Moreover, the actual raspberry is called Rubus idaeus (ordinary), and the blackberry is Rubus fructosus (fruit). This may be why mature blackberry leaves have a more fruity aroma than raspberry leaves. This genus also includes raspberry, cloudberry, prince, stoneberry and kumanik. Well, and a bunch of subspecies of raspberries and blackberries, depending on the place of growth and the characteristics of berries and leaves. All rubies contain salicylates and have anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. In terms of the content of vitamins, blackberries are somewhat inferior to raspberries, but significantly surpass them in the amount of carotene and ascorbic acid. It is because of ascorbic acid that the taste of blackberry leaf tea seems a little sour. But ascorbic acid is very heat-sensitive and collapses when heated over 100 *, therefore, it is desirable to have a short and gentle frying at T not exceeding 100 * and drying at T not higher than 60 *. By the way, blackberry, like hawthorn, has a pronounced proven antiarrhythmic effect (natural adrenergic blocker).

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, excellent educational program on Rubus "vym And I did not fry the blackberries, by the way, I immediately dried them by setting the position min oven flag. And what the temperature is - fig knows it ... Due to the almost dry and fragile sheet, it dried up very quickly, it took no more than an hour for both pallets. Knowing that the leaf will not be granulated, I cut it as small as possible.

I drove it with a peshkodrap today for the next batch, I already breathed in oxygen, in the fall it is "tasty". The path to my cherished meadow goes through this forest



And here is the cherished "tea" meadow

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, thanks for the information! Autumn is informative and useful! Your leaves are still nothing, green) today I collected mostly yellow and red ones))) I collected just like the last time))) although I was determined that this is the last one. The only exception is raspberries - only half of their thickets have been robbed) but the question will last?)
Oops, I fried blackberries) I don't have an oven up to 100g) apparently I'll just dry it first by 70 and then lower it))Yuri K, what a beauty! Blackberry red - lovely sight!



Eh, it's not convenient to write from the phone)
Bra, I narvaoa a little pine branches for you) if everything is in force, then you, if there is nothing to mix with, then I will find a use for them, do not worry))))

So, I am reporting)) I picked up a carriage and a small cart of small bags with leaves)) a pear, an apple tree, a blackberry, this time I decided on a viburnum - it was painfully beautiful, it was red, and there were a lot of leaves!) I gathered at my dacha raspberries, a little from small trees - blackberry and apricot. I pulled a pine tree. Oh, and it's dreary!) And also very little mint and lemon balm - for the first time I decided to add them to tea. In general, I tuned in for frosty tea 😊
There will also be mono blackberries and I will try to simmer raspberries)

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Are you not the first time to make tea from a washed leaf? Is it good? We also have permanent rains, and yesterday I came across cut raspberries ... and could not resist went over there, rinsed a little more at home, put it to dry, now I sit, I cut off. And today I found a small area with young strawberries (garden strawberries), again wet, but I could not get through, I collected it by, I think - at least a little, but with a pair of raspberries. And the fact that it is wet and washed raises doubts about a good result, as if the leaves were dry. But all the same, I will do so that the flow of leaves is not lost!

[sweet_blondy]

sweet_blondy, probably use the pine for its intended purpose for yourself))) I, besides the blackberry, no longer see what to type, everything has either flown around, or the battered one stands, speckled black ... I think a three-liter can will be enough for the winter season)))
