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

I don't know whether mine will like it or not. Buy you need to try. I bought French herbs, there rosemary, they said we don't need it

[Veronica]

tarragon, aka tarragon, grows well in the middle lane. And you can grow it from seeds, they are sold in any seed department.

Veronica, Thank you! Most likely, I will grow from seeds. It should work out, since I easily grow celery and cilantro from seeds, although the bags say that only through seedlings.

bird cherry, if only mixed with an apple tree, that taste is neutral, and bird cherry has a yellow color. It is also possible with plum, also the taste is dim. And we have a lot of plums, but there are no fruits, and you will be tired of twisting the bird cherry on a leaf ... Let's try, it remains to wait quite a bit, some six months ...

Exactly, with plums is also possible. She is completely neutral. And we have a lot of plums, although there are few fruits. And the plum turns well in a meat grinder.

while I am away, they are already making tea from tarragon and their needles, we cannot go to the forest, bears, yesterday there was a warning again on local TV, they are already walking in the park zone,

Yes, bears are not wild boars ... Scary!
Len, how does dad feel?

[paramed1]

paramed1, Veronica, does your tarragon smell? also planted, grows, hibernates without shelter, but even does not smell very much? Maybe you need a special grade? I just had "tarragon" written?

[Anyuta]

Anyuta, I am also from the city of Saki !!! So do not worry that your friend has left, come! Dig up the tarragon!

[paramed1]

paramed1, Veronica, does your tarragon smell? also planted, grows, hibernates without shelter, but even does not smell very much? Maybe you need a special grade? I just had "tarragon" written?

I read that there are several types of them. And there are those that hardly smell. It smells to me when I dried it like that, even if you open the windows.

Girls, I was in the forest .. the pines are all tall - you can't get it. Can I have Christmas needles? or is it already another song ??

[Omela]

Omela, I don’t know less needles at the tree, we took young shoots and pines and Christmas trees, pine seemed to smell better; but twist it-yours wow

Okay, wait until the tree .. can we meet a suitable growth pine.

[Useful properties of spruce]

Ksyusha, I didn't. In the spring I looked at her tiny shoots and I felt sorry. And I would have done so. It seems to me that you can. Spruce is also very useful. Its broth is similar in properties to pine. I’ll go for pine needles and collect spruce ones.

Useful properties of spruce

Spruce - tree pharmacy. Essential oils found in all parts of the plant have powerful disinfecting properties. A widely known recipe is to apply crushed needles of this tree to fresh wounds. The wounds heal really quickly, and the use of spruce in this way reduces the infection.

In addition, needles are used to prepare infusions with antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Their application is wide enough - from the treatment of sore throats with folk remedies (rinsing), to attempts to heal foot fungus. In the latter case, legs float in the "extract" of spruce needles. Usually insisted at the rate of 40 g of needles per 200 ml of boiling water. Some boil the needles in a water bath for 20 minutes, some simply pour boiling water over the needles, having previously walked over the needles with a rolling pin or mallet, so that it can more easily give off juice.

Sometimes the resin of this tree is also used for treatment. It is chewed to prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease, as well as against food poisoning. True, more often, it is not the resin of the Christmas tree that is used, but the resin of the cedar[/ size].

[lappl1]

lappl1, Luda, the tea arrived at my mother's place well, sent it by train, so I was afraid. I poured her into a box as if I were, put a scotch tape on it and wrote: Ivan tea is black, green. I wonder what she will say about him, let's wait.

[Oksana]

Oksana, well, class! I'm glad the customs gave the go-ahead ...
I think mom will like it. Moreover, it was done by my daughter's hands.
By the way, when I passed the tea to my mother for the first time, she didn't even taste it for three months. Then, when I already began to insist, I tried it, and said that I did not understand. But a day later she calls and says that she has never drunk anything tastier. Now he doesn't drink any other tea. exclusively my Ivan tea.

So I think, when will she dare to try? - this is how it will look.

Yes, our mothers are conservative ... To get them to do something, you need to try hard ... Nothing, I took my mother with persistence. She just got tired of listening to my "songs" on the phone about the harm of traditional tea and the benefits of mine. This is how her love for Ivan tea began. Now she would be glad to put everyone on him, but Ivan-tea does not grow near Alma-Ata.

Oksana, I smell tarragon. How many tarragon-tarragon met, but in fact several varieties of it are cultivated, the whole smells. But you need to water it, then the smell is stronger.
Luda, if you are looking for seeds, then on the packages do not look for TARHUN, but ESTRAGON, in brackets "tarragon", it basically goes under the official name.

I'm from Saki city too !!

Nastolgiya ...... and me on you)))
P.S. A friend lived on the street. 9 heroes.

About spruce and pine shoots. Spruce grows slowly, pine very quickly. So if you harvest conifers, then take a little shoots from one tree. Nothing will be done to the pine, its growth is one meter per year and more. And pine needles are more juicy. But the taste and smell are different.

the pine smelled better; but twist it-yours wow

And yesterday I was spinning .... it was spinning beautifully. If the leaves are mostly twisted by my men (husband and son), then I twisted the needles myself.

Nastolgiya ...... and me on you)))
P.S. A friend lived on the street. 9 heroes.

It is not far from me, my son goes to the kindergarten on this street. I live not far from the bus station.

And we went hunting again. Collected more needles, thuja and hawthorn. And on the way home we stopped by my mother, so while everyone was wandering and talking about something, I ran around the garden with a package. I collected raspberries + apple tree (there are a lot of it, several varieties) + pear + black currant (quite a bit), I want to make it rustic. I'll stuff it into the freezer, then I'll figure it out.
So I think, can I visit my mother-in-law and add strawberries there?

If there is an opportunity, much less a desire, you have to go

son walks in kindergarten on this street

Eh, Anechka, I read and feel something warm and dear. Already the roof is moving from memories

I have dried my tea, now I'm taking it home. I'll put it in a box and try to forget about it for a month. And Lyudochka gave me the snakehead, bird cherry and Ivan tea, otherwise I didn’t do it this year. Thank you again my dear

[Anya]

Anya, great tea will turn out!

You should definitely go for strawberries. You can add to those leaves, or you can make it separately - mono tea ...

Anechka, not at all! Drink to your health!
Girls! I smelled Anya's night tea - from everything that grows with us - apple, cherry, strawberry, sea buckthorn and something else (I forgot).What cool! So I noticed that the leaves lying in the freezer for a very long time give tea that is different for the better from the one made immediately.

[Veronica]

Luda, if you are looking for seeds, then on the packages do not look for TARHUN, but ESTRAGON, in brackets "tarragon", it basically goes under the official name.

Veronica, I got it! Thank you very much !

[Ludmila]

Anya, great tea will turn out!

Thank you Ludmilaalready in the freezer.

You should definitely go for strawberries

Tomorrow I'll go, I dug up different seedlings from my mother, I want to plant. Finally, dig up your dahlias.

So I noticed that the leaves lying in the freezer for a very long time give tea that is different for the better from the one made immediately.

I noticed it too. Next year, all the leaves will be frozen.

What joy in the morning! I opened the freezer, crawled for mushrooms, and unexpectedly found a bag with cherry leaves! Kill I don't remember when I put it there ... True, not very big. So tomorrow morning TEA-MAKING again !!! And it doesn't matter that ice is falling from the sky outside the window. Summer will be in my kitchen again!

I climbed for mushrooms, and suddenly I found a bag with cherry leaves!

How familiar to me. Simply not transferable feelings. The day before yesterday I experienced this and has already reworked everything. Let this joy from the process and aroma last as long as possible)))

[Veronica]

Veronica, Congratulations! Such finds are an indescribable joy. How I found a treasure! I experienced such joy from tea that I found it not where I usually keep it. And I still have strawberries and fireweed in my freezer. So I will have another summer.
Yes, ice from the sky today is something! Almost all the windows in my house were covered with ice in the morning. Now thawed.

Hello everyone! I’m all day at my mother-in-law’s garden, I ran to have lunch. We had the first small frosts tonight, but in places, not everywhere. Narwala still apple + cherry + viburnum + strawberry Thrown into freeze. Tarhun is all green, she told her mother-in-law about him, maybe narvut, I don't know.

[Anya]

Narwala more apple + cherry + viburnum + strawberry

Anya, it's great when you have something to vomit. We already have nothing at all, we switched to conifers So good hunting and a big freezer (so that everything fits, what you bring from hunting and bring)

Thank you Anya, there is no freezer to the eyeballs, there is no separate freezer. Narwala is still yoshty, as they wrote about her here, this is a mixture of gooseberries and currants. A little bit of everything, so I won't do mono, I'll scroll everything together. What do you think? The apple trees are still all green, you can still tear and pluck, if they do not freeze tonight, then they promise warming.
I dried the needles yesterday.

No, well, you give it - I was absent for 2.5 days - lo and behold, 7 pages have already been written. Writers So, you can and should make tea from any conifers (just be careful with juniper). You can use both young and not very young shoots (just cut them off with scissors), pine needles and juniper cones. The most useful are pine, cedar, spruce, cypress, fir, yew, thuja. The most delicious in my experience are pine, cypress, cedar. They don't give much color, the darkest is cypress. But the scent is wonderful, especially in cypress. Therefore, you can safely add to mixes. It is not necessary to freeze, you can immediately twist it, fermentation is useless (and I'm afraid they can slow down the fermentation of other leaves of the mix). I made myself an "autumn" mix - pine, cypress, apple, black, barberry, elk, blackthorn, plum. Fermented for 3 hours - normal, but for the experiment I left the cup to ferment for 8 hours - the aroma did not change. Apparently, the conifers did not allow the flora to multiply further. But the taste and aroma are awesome in the end.About tarragon - my bush is growing for 8 years, a huge 2m tall, I don't cover it with anything, it winters perfectly. And also a box on a glazed balcony, 4 years old, flies around by winter, grows back in spring. I just cut it when I need fresh leaves for food or tea. And I use the dacha for pickling and for meat.

No, well, you give it - I was absent for 2.5 days - lo and behold, 7 pages have already been written. Writers

Lina, hello! Yeah, they wrote it in order. We were all thinking about conifers. because I knew that you know everything about them. So they were waiting for you. Thank you, Linochka! Everything is clear now about the pine tree, and about the Christmas tree, and about other conifers ...

Girls! Our Marina-Mariii posted a recipe for pickled apples https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=398124.new#new ... I did such things last year. Delicious! Because of her modesty, Marina will not tell us about this in the tea topic. Go see the recipe, please. Support Marina. And if possible (apples), then make pickled apples. I recommend with all my heart. Helpful! Delicious!

Almost all conifers are very useful for the treatment of all kinds of problems on the mucous membranes - that is, broncho-pulmonary diseases, adenoids, pharyngitis, laryngitis, cystitis, nephritis, constipation ... And also reduce increased appetite.

They also reduce increased appetite.

How relevant for our site! We will bake a roll of buns, we will drink tea from conifers, and we no longer need rolls ...

No, we will wash down the rolls with tea, so that at night we will not bake new rolls after the ones already eaten.

And I like this option more ... So, let's do it.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, thanks for the information, did not know. I just brewed pine needles to try.

[Anya]

Anya, pine needles alone? I think it's too cool! And I add a little pine to "Derevensky". Delicious!

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, I just want to taste their pure taste and smell.
Today my mom came ... sniffing my supplies. All the same, everyone has different tastes. For example, my mother liked echinacea, which I rejected.

[Anya]

Anya, well, how do you like the pine?
And about tastes - so it is. My mom doesn't like CHERRY. ALL !!!! And my son is glad that he alone will get all the cherries.

Girls, I want to write what happened to me so that this does not happen to you. I made the last tea, apple and cherry, it turned out 530g (through a meat grinder). Happy so, stocks for the winter are good, and the tea is all good. I brewed tea from pear, apple, quince, cherry, raspberry, apricot, and added cherries. And it is so delicious, I poured more than half of it into a cup, and then diluted it with boiling water.

I drank tea for half a day, and in the evening I went for a swim, poured hot water and just stood in the bathroom (I cannot take a bath). Came out, and again for the tea. Late in the evening there was pain in the lower abdomen, and at 5.30 in the morning there was a wild pain in the left side. But I am patient, I didn’t say anything to my husband and son, at 7 in the morning they went hunting (they had been waiting for her for a long time), but I was getting worse. There is urge to go to the toilet, but no urination. The pressure began to rise, the pulse dropped, I felt that I was losing consciousness, I decided to call my husband. I drink medicine for blood pressure, but it is 175/95, and even at 140 I feel bad. My men returned from hunting, called an ambulance, gave an injection. After a while, an orange-brick-colored liquid came out, and an orange pebble at the bottom. After that, the pain went away, but we went to the hospital, got tested, and wrote out a referral for hospitalization. I refused to go to bed for the weekend, I feel good now. This is what happened to me.

Don't repeat my mistakes!

[Alla]

Alla, with urolithiasis, this is common. When you drink a lot of liquid, and even with a diuretic effect, pebbles and sand can go, and if you add a hot shower to all this, we will get what happened to you. I can only assume that you simply did not know that you have kidney stones. But the main thing is that everything ended well. Health to you !!!

[Anyuta]

Anyuta, thanks for the wishes of health! The last time I did an ultrasound scan 15 years ago, everything was fine.Now I will drink tea carefully.

[Alla]

Allaon the contrary, it is a good effect. Why carry cobblestones inside, a pebble came out - and the kidneys are better. Brew the conifers so that there is no inflammation in the ureters after the stones come out. Or lingonberries.

Alla, I subscribe to Lina's words completely. Excellent tea effect. Lyudmila warned a long time ago that tea from the leaves expels everything unnecessary from the body, and gave examples. Here you are lucky! We got rid of the excess. The whole family is losing weight slowly. So don't be afraid, drink!

Girls, I want to write what happened to me

Allochka, dear, is glad that everything is over.
"Everything is poison and everything is medicine. Only the dose makes the medicine poison and poison the medicine". So it is with you. Of course, what came out of you is, in fact, a mini-operation. And tea, of course, contributed to this. If there was a more moderate drinking of tea, the release of toxins would have been much softer and more imperceptible. And so what happened happened.
I've been drinking my tea for the third year, but I didn't have anything like that (mmm). Of course, there was a release of slags. I already wrote about this. But all these 3 years I have been drinking tea three times a day. The rest is plain raw water, at least 2 liters per day. And it's not because I drink so little tea that I'm afraid of something. This is just the tradition of tea drinking in our family. Probably, you can drink more times. But then there will be no room for water, which I can no longer refuse.
Okay, these are all thoughts caused by your message. You already know everything yourself. And our specialists Lina and Veronica, I think, have already reassured you. Thank you girls! And you, Alla, thank you very much for sharing your case with us. May God grant you health. I am sure that this pebble will please you more outside of your body.
