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

[Gaby]

Gaby, thanks for the recipe)))

Lyuda, why dry the tea, what is the risk?

Olesya, if the tea is overdried (do not burn, but overdry), then it will generally be odorless. Or it will just smell like paper.
And if you burn it - that is, fry it at a high temperature, then the smell and taste of caramel appears. If you hold at the beginning of drying at a temperature of 120 - 150 * in the oven for a short time - about 20 minutes, stirring a couple of times, then the sugar of the juice will caramelize on the surface of the granules. Then you need to reduce the temperature to 100 * minutes by 40 - 50, and then reduce to 60 *. I really like this tea. And there is a plant smell, and a caramel-honey aroma! I made this tea all August.

Girls, once again I warn you about fly agarics. You can only eat gray-pink, and ordinary red and especially white ones are NOT. It is possible to use homeopathic dilutions of red fly agaric strictly according to indications for a very limited number of symptoms (myomatous nodes do not belong here) and according to strict homeopathic schemes, since if used incorrectly (wrong dose, wrong scheme, wrong duration), serious neurological and mental complications, skin lesions, visual impairments, etc. I understand that we are all specialists in medicine, but still filter the information through your brains so as not to harm yourself.

Linochka, thank you! So I painted everything! It is immediately clear that you are special. Do not worry! We won't ... Until you make the potion for us yourself and put out the recipe. But I think that you will never do this ... Because just lay out such a recipe for us ... ...

Luda, thank you for your kind and warm welcome!
Yes, we do not wilt the leaves. We collect a lot of sheet at once, fold it into a canvas, and keep it that way until we recycle it. He does not have time to "tan" and does not dry out.
There are photos, tomorrow I will look and put.

[Marina]

we fold it into a canvas, and keep it that way until we recycle it. He does not have time to "tan" and does not dry out.

Marina,
In fact, the leaves wither in the canvas. Because part of the moisture in the sheet is taken by the canvas. In general, we, like that bicycle, "invented" this old way of preparing leaves for processing. Feels like you are a very experienced tea-maker! And that they started making tea for a reason. Most likely, you have many tea enthusiasts around you. So we are very lucky to be with you!
Marina, do you make tea from the leaves of other plants or only from fireweed?
And I will look forward to the photo.

Hello everyone! Girls, I will open the topic about soap, today I will do it, but we will cook ONLY the real soap from scratch. Soap is still brewed from baby soap (they digest it, enriching it with all sorts of usefulness), but I do not consider this soap to be natural, it is brewed from a purchased soap base, it is clear that this, too, was not close to natural.
Lyudochka, the devil is not so scary as he is painted, this is me about the danger of alkali, why climb into it with my bare hands, and I never wore an astronaut costume when making soap and, as you can see, I communicate with you from the wrong world (honest the wrong word, take my word for it)
I hope the soap girls will help me if that

Checkmark, come on, teach us! It won't be scary with you! Good luck with opening the topic!

And where to get these fly agarics? At the pharmacy?

In the forest) They don't sell them in pharmacies - I hope so far.Although I asked the doctors and the teacher of anatomy - she is a candidate of medical sciences - I was just at the university then studied - why is it good to remove fly agarics - there was no Internet then). Interestingly, all doctors have confirmed that yes, fly agarics are treated because they contain coumarin, which kills a certain type of bacteria.
And tumors are well removed, cysts, especially when benign. Only there is one trick - when you drink any poisons - fly agaric, celandine, aconite, etc., in addition to the fact that they must be taken in a certain proportion with milk, 1 drop of tincture per 8 drops of milk, after that it is necessary! cleanse the liver. And it is good to clean it with sodium thiosulfate - it is sold in pharmacies, in ampoules for injection. And the Moscow homeopath doctor Lushchik recommends drinking it inside. I have also been using this recipe for many, many years ...

By the way, I almost bent this very rod in a meat grinder and have already learned - when I press hard, I hold the auger from below with my other hand so as not to bend down. And then my hands are strong, I can and roll)
Oh, now I was grinding the last apple tree ... There were a little gooseberries and cherries. And the smell is a desire to just stick your head into this bag and breathe this magical smell ... I still can't determine exactly what it smells like - some kind of floral-fruity, so strong, delicious ... I wonder what kind of tea it will turn out) Now I will give take a rest and finish the second part and go straight to the oven so as not to over-ferment)) I have already learned)

Luda, here in the photo the tea is already dried, I did not find a photo where I still have sausages.


And I took a picture of this cup of tea today.

Luda, I'm not an experienced tea maker. Itself reached by trial and error. I read a lot about Koporsky tea, I really wanted to prepare it. But when my husband brought me an armful of fireweed for the first time, I was at a loss - when will I be able to cope with this? By the New Year? Because I read that it is necessary to twist each leaf with your hands. But we found a way out, we quickly straighten with rolling pins. Daughter twists in a meat grinder. But I like leafy, large. We procure a lot, store it in three-liter jars.
Unfortunately, none of the acquaintances is engaged in the preparation of tea. We try to enthrall, treat, but this is labor and not easy, but also time. It is easier to go buy a byaka in a store and not think that it is a byaka.
We collect many field herbs that do not require fermentation. These are thyme, meadowsweet, oregano, linden flowers. dry rosehip and hawthorn. I grow lemon balm and mint. We all drink like tea. And separately or in fees.
One year fermented blackberry and black currant leaves. But everyone gave preference to Koporye tea. Here I will read it and start to prepare something else.

[https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=397436.new#new]

I don’t know why they write like that, that people understand that they have to roll one leaf at a time, I also met such people.
I beg you

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=397436.new#new

only so far without a master class, I will do it, take a picture.

Because usually they write in recipes - twirl the leaf in your hands until the juice is released. I also thought I needed one at a time)

many are leaving this business in the bud

That's for sure) Therefore, I do not even aim at the sheet, although there is where to store) At the meat grinder and all the cases)

but I love leafy more, though some kind of growth has formed on my hand over the summer))))))

[Galinka!]

but we will cook ONLY the real soap from scratch.

Hurrah! Galinka! It's better than getting into an old topic with your own recipes, it will be a "zero" topic. Boom to cook! ABOUT! You have already opened the topic! Galinka, remove the colon at the beginning of the link to your topic, highlight the link and click on the button with the globe. The link will become active.

I'll have to try it next summer) Although the granular is completely satisfied)
By the way, fireweed came to me - I didn't like it, there was some stale note in the tea - it's good that I didn't write out enough. Not impressed, so I will wait for next summer and my fireweed. And the seeds are small - like those of a petunia, you will probably have to grow it with seedlings.

[kubanochka]

kubanochka, thanks, otherwise I suffered for a long time

[Galina Iv.]

just for now, without a master class, I will do it, take a picture

Galina Iv., Oh, Checkmark, how smart you are

She ripped off a magnolia. The leaves are huge, the smell is very strong. Part of it was cut and poured with vodka (an excellent remedy for hypertension), part I will simply dry, and part lies dry, I will ferment. Let's see what happens. By the way, did no one make tea from magnolia? The unabi leaves are withered. I just always use dry cough suppressants, now I'll try to ferment. And I sit over the fruits of unabi and think what to do? I will make dates and jam, probably ...

Fasting My cow, in the sense of being drawn, together with the KVN team of my youngest, took 1st place yesterday at the KVN League festival of the Kuban State University. Five girls of the first magicians (the cow was sixth) made 18 teams, including the national teams of the university, the medical academy, the polytechnic ... There is a roar at home, the daughter is preparing for a music competition. At the university, no one yet knows that Alena plays the drum kit. Prepares a surprise to drum for a music competition

[kubanochka]

kubanochka, smart daughter !!! Congratulations to her from all of us !!! I think all the girls will join in the greeting

[flete]

Oh, now I was grinding the last apple tree ... There were a little gooseberries and cherries. And the smell is a desire to just stick your head in this bag and breathe this magical smell ... I still can't determine exactly what it smells like - some kind of floral-fruity, so strong, delicious ... I wonder what kind of tea it will turn out)

flete, if it smells like that, it’s great tea. Moreover, this combination is very successful. Yes, and cherries make any tea Tea with a capital letter ...

Lyudmila, thank you) I'll go pour it into a constant container) I'll mark it so that I definitely try what happened)
I also noticed that a small amount of cherries does not pull the blanket over itself, but just gives it a fabulous aroma - just a couple of handfuls per large bag.

[Marina]

Marina, thank you very much for the photo! You have beautiful tea!
And still, you already have a decent experience! Especially if they reached the truth through their mistakes. I went through it too. And there was no one to prompt. And this year, with the opening of tea topics, the experience began to grow rapidly. I’m thinking now: if I hadn’t shared the recipes for tea at Mcooker, I would simply have continued to make delicious tea, as before. But so much has changed since June! Girls, asking certain questions, without suspecting, plunged me more and more into tea theory! And we all went from theory to practice, improving our tea and making it different. For me, the discovery was "Country Tea". And it was thanks to the girls' questions that I came to this tea. And I also learned about the "frying" only this season, reading books about traditional tea. For myself alone, I would hardly have dived so deeply into the topic, because my tea more than suited me! And how many new plants for tea we all discovered together! The girls' proposals poured out like a horn of plenty! I just couldn't keep up with them. And how much joy and emotions were added to us by additives to tea in the form of petals and dried berries (thanks to Lina)! Beauty - you can't take your eyes off! And boxes for tea (Anyuta - respect)! And the posts-novels by Tatiana-Stirlitz have taken us to a new level! So we basically wrote our book about tea! Sometimes I go somewhere in the middle of a topic and I can't tear it away - I read-read-read ... So interesting! So, this is not my recipe anymore! This is our joint work! Girls! Thank you all very much for this! You have all become so dear!

Daughter twists in a meat grinder.But I like leafy, large. We procure a lot, store it in three-liter jars.

Of course, making tea leaf or granulated is a matter of taste! That is why our tea themes are good, that they allow you to find the way that suits everyone according to the conditions and taste.
Marina! Thank you very much for such a detailed report and photo! It was very interesting to know about your experience!

And I put magnolia and unabi leaves to ferment. Grind in a meat grinder without freezing. The huge thick leaves of magnolia are very processable and keep the shape of a sausage well. I don't know what will happen next, but so far I like it.

[flete]

I also noticed that a small amount of cherries does not pull the blanket over itself, but just gives it a fabulous aroma - just a couple of handfuls per large bag.

flete,

[Lenochka]

And I put magnolia and unabi leaves to ferment.

Lenochka, I went to google about these little things ... Because I don't know anything about them. Especially about unabi. I heard this word from you for the first time! Then tell us about tea and show us ... Okay? Very interesting...
Helen, I congratulate you, your daughter and the cow on the victory! I had no doubts about her!

I beg you https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in..._smf&topic=397436.new#new

Checkmark, thank you! I went to study!

Because usually they write in recipes - twirl the leaf in your hands until the juice is released. I also thought I needed one at a time)

It seems to me that people write this who did not make tea themselves ... Or they did it, but for one or two cups of tea ... Or masochitis ...

now there are several games ahead, I would have to hold on. There is a roar at home, the daughter is preparing for a music competition. At the university, no one yet knows that Alena plays the drum kit. Prepares a surprise to drum for a music competition

Helen! Good luck to Alena and her team! And you - to endure the never-ending surprise drumstick beating ...

[Lina]

So, with fly agarics, as I understand it, the trouble ... The fly agaric contains muscarine and muscimol. Coumarin --- in sweet clover, yarrow, some chamomile and so on. The substance is good, but too much is impossible, there is also an allergy. Gives a very strong smell of fresh hay. Helps with various diseases. And muscarine with muscimol is good from unhappy love, for example, or from failed tea ...
In general, there are all kinds of boundary substances that can help, or maybe ..., one should be careful to consume it somehow! People react to them in different ways. Many people simply lose consciousness from a bouquet of sweet clover - in large doses, coumarin works as a hallucinogen.
Lina, the people are treated as they can and, most importantly, as they want. I have one friend who knows EVERYTHING and ABOUT EVERYTHING. He loves to teach a hundred million years of practicing doctors and tells everyone how stupid they are ... So you better not talk about edible fly agarics ... They are all very similar for many ... And in the internet, by the way, I found it on some smart site , in my opinion, the phytotherapist even writes - "fly agarics are all poisonous !!!" How! Everyone has different views for life on fly agarics!

Lina, the people are being treated as they can and, most importantly, as they want. I have one friend who knows EVERYTHING and ABOUT EVERYTHING. He loves teaching a hundred million years of practicing doctors and tells everyone how stupid they are ...

Veronica! That's for sure! There are many such people! It often depends on which doctors come across. Unfortunately, you can find Aesculapians who do not really care for their patients. I will not accuse them of ignorance. But you meet with indifference more often than you would like. During my life I have met both DOCTORS-Gods and doctors-artisans. In general, doctors are different. So we, like Munchausen, have to pull ourselves out of the swamp of diseases.
I have never taught doctors, did not argue with them ... But I have my own experience. For example, clay treatment! For me, this is downright a panacea! Both inwardly and outwardly - a nice thing ... I have been friends with clay for 15 years. I never let you down ...By the way, my classmate doctor did not interfere with my passion for clay.
Veronica, Linochka! Please forgive me for "hitting" the medical fraternity ... You understand yourself ... It has nothing to do with you!
And fly agarics ... I swear! I will only admire them ...

Kubanochka, the cow definitely helped, she was charmed for success, the artist put a piece of his soul!

Yes, everyone has a different attitude to traditional medicine. But! When medication doesn't help you, you grab every opportunity. So I can say from my own experience, from the experience of my relatives and friends, as well as my cats - fly agarics are useful! By the way, I make a tincture without a skin, homeopathic, so it does not even bring the slightest harm - even drink glasses) And I drink it regularly for about 20 years, so this tincture only brought me and my family) and how many recipes it gave - it's not mine , I read in one of the magazines and people did - and everyone is safe and sound.
So here it is only for the person himself to decide - to go under the knife and cut out a cyst or tumor - I'm talking about benign ones, or just drink the tincture and enjoy life further)
By the way, when the doctors diagnosed me with asthma and told me that I could die if I didn't take hormones, I just silently left the hospital and went on a hunger strike for 7 days plus 7 days out of it. And I stopped suffocating! For another couple of years, for prevention, I starved for a week, and for many years I don't even remember this, only when I come across doctors. And my friend sat down on hormones in the same situation and is now completely dependent on them. So each of us makes the choice and he is correct, probably) Each has his own road and his own rake on it)

All)) I shut up about fly agarics)) further about tea)
I dried mono-cherries today, noticed that if it is well fermented, it does not have such an aggressive smell - the first time I still didn’t contain it - the first pancake is lumpy) Although as an additive it is very good, especially when the tea is cold ...

[flete]

it does not have such an aggressive smell - the first time I still did not hold it

flete, but I just like this, zapashistaya, I really like ... Well, the taste and color ...

and I flew with a cherry ... burned it out, but I do not throw it away, I wait for it to show itself, but if umErlo, then umErlo (((
half-liter can. Let it stand for now, the smell of burnt prunes, but not strong.

And I have such a raspberry ... I have not tried it yet.

Lyudochka, today I tried lemongrass, which has also been lying since July. Very, very! The taste is soft, the aroma is reminiscent of cherry, but very delicate. Well, like lemongrass - invigorates. I express to you another and sincere thanks for the tea idea !!!

Can I get more details in PM? (the recipe itself and how it is used)

[Check mark]

Check mark, Natasha, and you try this burnt tea. I've already written a couple of times about my burned-out one. I like it .. The taste is unusual.

Lyudochka, today I tried lemongrass, which has also been lying since July. Very, very! The taste is soft, the aroma is reminiscent of cherry, but very delicate. Well, like lemongrass - invigorates. I express to you another and sincere thanks for the tea idea !!!

Ira, to your health! I am glad that the tea was a success. Some of the girls also made lemongrass. The opinions were different. But this is the case when tea was infused with dry fermentation and manifested itself in all its glory ...

Yeah, before that they boasted about the quantity, and now the quality! Mono cherry charmed me too! I have so much tea, ordinary, shop, good, really, who will drink now? I brewed it yesterday, added a bit of cherries, delicious, but not that, not that. How tastes change!

How tastes change!

Helen! You get used to good things quickly! And I already forgot when the store saw ... And even does not pull ...

I have so much tea, ordinary, shop, good, really, who will drink now? I brewed it yesterday, added a bit of cherries, delicious, but not that, not that. How tastes change!

I have a similar situation. Only I have not been able to drink store tea for a long time. I feel bad from him. Therefore, for a long time I have been preparing myself tea from the leaves of an apple tree, cherry. But not in such quantities and not in such an assortment as this year. What do they interfere with tea? Why am I so bad from him?
I remembered anecdote from the times of the USSR. Then we had Georgian and Krasnodar tea. The Indian does not count with the elephant. Krasnodar was considered better than Georgian. Therefore, a commission came from Georgia to Sochi (it was there that Krasnodar tea was grown) to study the production of Krasnodar tea. They walk around the shop, look, ask questions, check with their tea ...
- And what is this grass? Well, we put it in tea ... And what is this straw? Strange, we also add it ... Why is your tea better?
And then a cry is heard from the other end of the workshop.
- Givi! They also add tea to tea!
It looks like tea is not added to tea now

- And what is this grass? Well, we put it in tea ... And what is this straw? Strange, we also add it ... Why is your tea better? And then from the other end of the workshop a shout is heard - Givi! They also add tea to tea! It looks like tea is not added to tea now

: lol: Have fun, Helen! Thank you !
But we don't add tea to tea either ...

Lyudmila! Thanks for such a great topic and an abundance of useful information!
You inspired me, like many, I'm sure

Up to this point, I only made mint blanks - dried leaves and flowers. Now I'll try to scroll.
With Ivan-tea fermented this is my dream, but fireweed does not grow in our area.
But in the forest there are a lot of blackberries and dogwoods. In this connection, the question arose:
Has anyone tried making fermented tea from blackberry leaves and / or dogwood? share your experience and thoughts, please

[Nilda]

Nilda, welcome to tea themes! We are very glad to see you! Hope you become our permanent resident.
Thank you for being inspired by this information! Honestly, I understand you - discovering something new is always interesting!

Has anyone tried making fermented tea from blackberry leaves and / or dogwood? share your experience and thoughts, please

I did not make tea from either plant, since they do not grow with me. But our girls are very pleased with this tea. Now I can not find these posts. But I know that almost all tea was made as in the recipe - withering-twisting in a meat grinder-fermentation-drying-dry fermentation for a month ... I think that this tea should be fermented no more than 6-7 hours. Since now autumn and the leaves are very tough, it is advisable to send the leaves to the freezer after withering for 2 - 3 days. This will make it easier for a meat grinder.
And I also advise you to make "Rustic tea" - that is, from a mixture of plants (recipe here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=390336.0 ). And do not do it manually, but also through a meat grinder. The more plants are used, the better. If you do not have a garden, then ask yourself to visit those who have one and collect the leaves of an apple, cherry, pear, quince ...
Try to do ... If you have any questions, ask. We will be happy to answer them.
