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

It is necessary to ask our seedlings sellers in the spring

I think you will find it, especially in St. Petersburg it grows!
Only you need to plant it with care - a very powerful vine, braids everything around to death! It's generally advisable to stick a peasant somewhere behind the site, he is only good for pollen and leaves, but he is swinging out ...

[filirina]

filirina, it's all over there for you, everything is very modest here

No, she is everywhere! You must be a young man! And her mother-in-law at the dacha is already 25-30 years old - she was cut off!

I personally don't have her, I heard from gardeners

Well, you can't argue with sado (maso) waters, maybe they know something

[Ira]

Only you need to plant it with care - a very powerful vine, braids everything around to death! It's generally advisable to stick a peasant somewhere behind the site, he is only good for pollen and leaves, but he is swinging out ...

Ira, thanks for the warning . I have enough space - both on the site and behind it. So I'll find a place for both the woman and the man ...

I have enough space - both on the site and behind it.

It's good for you ... steppe and steppe or forest and forest all around. And we have already not what to plant, already and poo ... be nowhere. The impression is that All Ukraine is sitting in Kiev and near Kiev. Everything has already been built up and left behind ... what is possible and what is not ...

[Irina]

Irina, yes, this is the fate of all capital cities: girl_in_dreams: in ...

lappl1Lyudochka, came back today from a walk and at one entrance I plucked 3 leaves of badan (before that they walked three times in that place, but all the time people were ashamed to steal the leaves, but today I decided). So, I want to know what kind of taste he has, such, I read, in the subject, what is good. But there are only 3 leaves, what to do: just dry it, try to ferment such a little or something? The frost was already -10, but it got warmer today +10. The leaves are green, it does not seem at all that they are frozen.

[Elya]

Elya, I had no experience with badan. Here Rada-dms made tea from it. And some more girls. Here are links to this experience Badan 1 2 3 4 5 6
You can ask Rada in a personal note if you still have questions (she hasn't appeared here for a long time). I would probably put it in the freezer and keep it there longer. And then, as usual, through a meat grinder.
And badan leaves are large. It won't turn out very much, but you can ferment in some kind of circle to make the layer higher.

And I sit and only spread my hands ... Only now I realized how little tea I made. I figured that we had enough for the whole winter, and there were almost no cherries left - they were pilfered by those whom I treated with them. Truncated - it's over!

Badan .... it turns out how wonderful he is. We drink KIPREY (Ivan-tea), and in Altai BADAN.

In Altai, badan is popular as a substitute for tea (it is called "Chigir tea"). Overwintered leaves that have undergone natural fermentation are brewed. The drink has a dark color, the taste is vaguely reminiscent of black tea, has a number of useful properties and a tonic effect.

It is necessary to breed Badan.

Yes, Anechka, we have already become imbued with this badan, even at the beginning of the topic we talked a lot about it. So you need to breed.

[Tanyusha]

And I sit and only spread my hands ... Only now I realized how little tea I made. I figured that we had enough for the whole winter, and there were almost no cherries left - they were pilfered by those whom I treated with them. Truncated - it's over!

Tanyusha, Yes! This is such a tea! There is never too much of it! Even if there is a lot of it! There is always where to put it and who to give it to. And I'm not talking about cherry ...Well, nothing, you will do a lot next year.

That's just about badan! The other day my husband and I went to the hospital. We go through the territory, and I see a huge flower bed of about 5 by 3 meters. And she's all in something green and bursty. Looked closely - badan! Yes, what, just like in summer! But - the center of Moscow, and not for me, so this badan ... But after reading our topic, I planted a badan in my area this fall, a neighbor gave it. And in the spring she allowed me to rip off her old leaves, specially left it for me, although she maintains the site in a sterile state. That's how people got into the topic of tea! But they categorically do not want to do it themselves! Scary, I guess ...

[Veronica]

Veronicawhat a good neighbor! In the sense of badan. It really needs to be harvested in the spring - not beautiful, withered, but naturally fermented.
I also have friends who have houses in the village and have summer cottages, and plenty of fireweed. And they drink and praise my tea ... But they don't even want to listen to how to make tea. One neighbor tore fireweed with me. Last year I buzzed all his ears about tea made from him. Says he didn't like it. So he just dried it, right on the stems. I say: "Do as I do." I told him how to do it easier. To which he replied that he would dry it for the medicine, and the tea that I would give him would drink.

lappl1, Luda, thank you, I'll be confused with three leaves, they are not very big, like a plate in size. I remember about the blackened leaves of badan, but the bushes were well-groomed, only with greenery.
Burunduk, Tanya, there are still a lot of leaves, I'm in Rovenki, I don't see where you are from, we haven't flown around yet.
Anyuta73, Anya, I only found out about badan in this thread, although it grew at home both with me and with my mother, but for some reason it did not bloom, the conditions, apparently, are not the same, but this winter it froze out. And in our cemeteries, we have overgrown bergenia, such a beauty, when we go to the red hill, it just blooms. It is a pity that you cannot take from the cemetery.

Burunduk, Tanya, there are still a lot of leaves, I'm in Rovenki, I don't see where you are from, we have not yet flown

Elya, I'm from Severodonetsk. There are already bald trees in my dacha - I will cut branches

[Burunduk]

Burunduk, Tanya, amused, the branches for a barbecue will do! Only raspberry tea.

Only raspberry tea.

And you can also use currant and cherry for tea. And cherry bark - the girls spoke. But we have a small cherry ... It's a pity to peel off the bark.
And the most delicious barbecue on saxaul turns out. Only he is not here, but growing in the desert ...

Burunduk, Tanya, amused, the branches for the barbecue will do!

And also currant and cherry for tea you can

And also apricot, plum ... In general, any stone fruit. I'll try Teren too.

[lappl1]

lappl1, Burunduk, so the second part of the Marlezon ballet is tea made from twigs? You can already start harvesting)))

Tanyusha, Elya! This is if the tea is not enough. Twigs can be cut all winter. I really like currants. I sometimes do this when the drifts do not interfere. For example, here are the drifts (March 2013):

[Elya_lug]

Elya_lug, Ale, tea from twigs - this is a daaavaya topic. Also very, very tasty and aromatic. I just brew it in a thermos and insist for a couple of hours, otherwise the twigs do not have time to give off taste and aroma.
And my grandmother used to say that raspberry twigs have better diaphoretic properties than berries. Chryp tea and on the stove - by morning, where did everything go!

For example, these are the drifts (March 2013)

And my grandmother used to say that raspberry twigs have better diaphoretic properties than berries. Chryp tea and on the stove - by morning, where did everything go!

And our village grannies talked about it. Only I haven't tried it. We need to test this winter ...

Lud, that's for sure. My great-grandmother was a noble herbalist; people from all over the neighborhood turned to her. My grandmother took over a little from her.
So she did not harvest the crimson branches for future use - she broke off when they were needed. Maybe because of the frost something ferments there too?

No, it's unlikely from frost ... But something is there ... Moreover, only the top is recommended.Raspberries contain natural aspirin. I read that one man cured his heart so-so over the winter ...

In general, we will fill the deficit of tea with twigs, and from next season - uuuuh! You need to cook many times more

Yes, especially since our tea does not spoil, but only gets better from year to year ... So we will cook a lot!

Raspberries contain natural aspirin

There is much more natural aspirin in weeping willow. Previously, it was even factory mined from its bark.

I wonder how! I have a big weeping willow growing on the pond. I'll take a note ... Thank you, Irochka ...

Girls, I don't understand anything !! first prehistory: in the refrigerator there was a package with leaves of the week 3 + a package of freshly picked ones and lay in the freezer for 3 days, a mixture of raspberries (it was already touched by frost, strawberries with glass leaves, already completely dry and red black chokeberry leaves, a little bit of an apple tree, all this I twisted it in a meat grinder, it was sooo dry, stood at room temperature overnight, then the day in the refrigerator and dried it in the evening. Because the leaves were dry, these worms the sausages did not even darken during fermentation, they dried almost green, the smell was awesome. Yesterday I brewed this tea! Mom dear !!!! Yes, this is perhaps the best tea of ​​all my !!!! i'm in hiatus

now I know for sure that this is not my last packet of leaves))))

Checkmark, congratulations on the best tea! And so everything is clear to me! First, the roster is awesome! Secondly, natural fermentation has partially passed (either frost or warmth), thirdly, a lot of goodies have been accumulated in the autumn leaves, they are already quite ripe. And you were fermenting. It doesn't matter that the leaves were dry (in your opinion). The frost and the freezer destroyed the surface of the leaf, and the room temperature did its job - fermentation ...
So I am happy for tea and you with you!

Yes, I am still impressed, I did not take to work and I am waiting for the evening !! Lyudochka, nizya send it by mail !!!! this herb is not at all harmless, you get used to it

So what to do now? do not close the season? Leave the leaves to Humus !!!
I wrote this out of desperation; I need to find acorns too; I thought I closed the season.
Yesterday I handed over tea in a parcel for my mother, will it be interesting? So she wrote "Ivan-tea black" and "Ivan-tea green", customs: nasmork: will he let it through or not? I'm sitting - I'm afraid

Oksana, well, finally ... it appeared ... why disappear like that?

: iai: I'm here - Piyu Tea! I want more coffee

the soil becomes acidic from the leaves, so we will find other organic residues for humus.

Girls, do you ferment conifers?

Lyudochka fermented in the spring, they are only needed in the spring, when the young shoots are thrown away (it seems to me that we will also get something from under the snow for tea)

like deer, we'll take lichens and moss
dying with laughter, presented a picture - digging under the snow, they ask us: what are you digging ??? We: yes, I am looking for food, a natural product, I also want to make tea

[Galina Iv.]

Galina Iv., Got it Yatozh about the moss wanted to add-pissed
Conifers were fermented and even unsubscribed only a little.

It's a pity that in the spring. Okay, I'll go hunting. Maybe I'll dig up something ...

Ksyusha, if you need wax, whistle, I will share!

[Oksana]

Oksana, yes, I only remember about cypresses.

[annnushka27,]

annnushka27, well, yes, maybe you can find some roots
soon we will cut off all the branches, rip off all the bark, dig out all the roots, rip off all the leaves ... if Greenpeace would not know about us ...

And with my husband, we pick up leaves in the parks, ready-made in bags and put them in a heap! Our whole life with leaves now
Anya someone wrote that the remaining needles from the Linadoc jam "coniferous with rose hips" were fermented, I don't remember who? I don’t remember any more comments.

[Galina Iv.]

Galina Iv., Checkmark, what are you, Greenpeace will eat us cheaper for them ...

[annnushka27]

annnushka27, I have in the refrigerator lies and was in the plans to do it,: crazy: but I still do not chuFayus-no inspiration!
