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

Alla, congratulations on the release of the pebble, it's very good, otherwise it would sit there and grow. Yes, it hurts, but whatever is done is for the best.

I want to tell you, I went to the village for the weekend. I arrived in the village a little upset - there were no leaves, well, I walked around the site, I saw leaves on the raspberry bushes. She cut it off, brought it, there was a small bag of black chops in the freezer, took it out, thawed it. I tried the leaves, and they are dry, I tried raspberries - wet leaves, I decided to make a mix and increase the blackberry tea. Everything was twisted perfectly into good granules. I set it to ferment, and the smell is completely different from all the teas that I did, except of course the tea made from bird cherry. I was drying tea, and the smell is so awesome and pleasant with sourness. Tell me this is so black and it smells? (The leaves were already red and almost dry)

Yes, Vika, it's a blackberry! Her scent is stunning! Stronger than cherry!

Lyudochek, definitely stunning and so interesting.

And they brought me a whole bag of apple leaves! There is no room in the freezer. I tried it - the central vein breaks with a crunch (which is strange, there were already frosts, and more than once). I put it down to dry. Right?

I put it down to dry. Right?

That's right, Tanya! And the apple tree is not afraid of weak frosts. Even apples can withstand them. So, good tea will be.

Ahhhhhhh! I will replenish ... the pantry (in the voice of the brownie Kuzi)

Now, if you added something else to the apple tree, it would be very good ... Well, at least a handful ...

Nnnuuu .... You can try to pull cherries tomorrow at the stable ... The leaves are quite lethargic, however, and dusty. Well, I saw strawberry leaves in the forest. Meooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The fact that they are sluggish is okay. You won't have to dry it yourself. But dusty ones - look yourself, what kind of dust it is. And to collect strawberries - I can imagine how difficult it is. Only if there are any helpers - bend them ...

if there are any helpers - bend them

So there is! After taking a bite of cherry tea, the leaves were kindled to bring me, but since the cherries had already crumbled, they brought an apple tree. And they look into my eyes so begging!
Tomorrow they have a training session, here's a chase to collect

Listen, Tanya, we need to write a new chapter in the "Tea Book" ... And call it something like this: "Taming with cherry tea" ...

Girls, I again brought the "last" packet of leaves, every weekend and I think it's the last. But this time only raspberries and strawberries. (bragging)

And where do you find them? Not otherwise, you grow in a greenhouse ...

By the way, after reading Alla’s story I wasn’t surprised, but I’ll add: I’m going to write about the diuretic effect of seagull for a couple of days (I have tested a mix of raspberry-pear-apple-peach + cherry) and I noticed that after drinking tea I was "running" often))). Finally my kidneys will receive natural prevention)))

Lyudochka, * JOKINGLY * cultivated raspberries are still standing in the forest, especially with a neighbor, and since the autumn is so warm, the strawberries have grown in a new way
Lyudochka, so this is an idea - to plant strawberries in greenhouses, she will harvest there by November, harvest leaves, you need to ask the variety of leafy strawberries in the market ... I just thought yesterday that I use greenhouses very badly, there could be more than one harvest remove radishes, and at the same time leaves

And we already have no raspberries - neither cultural nor uncultured wild ... And even strawberries did not grow a second time. Apparently, you had less frosts there ...

her, we have strawberries like on a May day), and in September it was trimmed under "Kotovsky"

[Inusya]

Here's what I will add: I've been going to write about the diuretic effect of seagull for a couple of days (I have tested a mix of raspberry-pear-apple-peach + cherry) and I noticed that after drinking tea I often "run"))). Finally my kidneys will receive natural prevention)))

Inusya, there is such a thing! Moreover, from any tea ...
I wonder how Alla is there?

and like Lenochka Kadieva ...

Galina, you just seduced me)) I already wanted to end the tea season, but no - I read your posts and rushed to the garden)) It's strange that after the frost - and we had 17 degrees of frost for several days, there is still green raspberry - which turned out to be in the snow, of which there was a lot - remontant and beautiful just strawberries - the burdocks just grew back)) I wound the raspberries and dried them right away, and I still keep the strawberries in the freezer) By the way, after re-rolling the raspberries did not crumble into dust, like the first time, but very decent granules, thanks to Kubanochka for the advice - if I'm not mistaken. True, the meat grinder is very indignant with repeated scrolling - stronger than with the primary one.
And I have a strange tendency with tea - if I like the smell, then I don't like the taste and vice versa ... The only harmonious tea at the moment in this sense is apple tree with strawberries - such a delicate smell and a very mild pleasant taste ... Yesterday I opened a mix - well, the smell is not mine, and that's all - I didn't even want to brew it, but today I drink it all day - an awesome soft taste, just a fairy tale.
I bought a tea maker - now tea gives aromas to the whole kitchen - and we have it big enough). I don’t even want to hear about purchased tea - I won’t drink this muck again! Home people are also addicted to their tea)

Even at the beginning of my tea activity, I read that they say the aroma of tea you have mmmmm, aaahhhh, oohhhh, etc., well, I thought the girls give, they are joking or something .. the aroma is like aroma and tea is not so hot, it doesn't matter with grass it smells, but when it stood .. it's mmmmmmmm, and autumn tea immediately mmmmm, the leaves are frozen already in their natural environment and I don't freeze them in the freezer, I just wither and twist.

double scrolling ... something I missed

Somewhere after page 200 it was - Kubanochka, if I am not mistaken, reminded that if a sheet crumbles, then when you scroll again, very good granules are obtained, there is even a photo there. I tried - for sure, just heaven and earth based on the results.

Yes, Lena-Kubanochka, I just read this recently.

so you can't keep up with you: girl_skakalka: how not to download

Somewhere after page 200 there was

already 233

already 233

Looking for? Maybe it's easier to go to Lena's profile and search in her messages?

Anechka, there is no time to look, an emergency at work ... we have to close the month, but accounting is ...
but mentally I'm with you, even in the gardens))
Anyuta, I was looking for a plot in Crimea here and I was very confused by the photo - scorched earth, but you find leaves, develop a myth

Anyuta, I was looking for a plot in Crimea here and I was very confused by the photo - scorched earth, but you find leaves, develop a myth

Galina, it's probably in the steppe somewhere. And there are enough leaves, still tear and tear, although I live in the western-steppe Crimea. Today +15. There is enough greenery, and there are good forests, but in the South Coast. There is such beauty in Bakhchisarai! There will be time, I will show the pictures, they are on another computer. I have pictures in OK, who wants to come to visit, I will give the data in a personal.

Annushka, you have a complete break there, our season is over, there are no leaves on the trees and I already want spring. I was in Bakhchisarai and climbed on Chufut-kale, but I will look at the photo with pleasure. But I am not in my classmates, probably without access it will not work?

flete, congratulations on your purchase of the tea maker. I also want to ... Well, for now, I'll manage. Maybe we'll buy it later.

double scrolling ... something I missed

Galya, Anya answered everything for you. Lena wrote that you scroll the leaves 2 times. The second time, granules are obtained, if they were not there the first time.

Lyudmila, thank you) Although the smell in the tea maker is very good - such an aroma is worth it, especially if there are cherries) But I like the taste of tea more in an ordinary thermos with a glass flask. While brewing in a teapot)) I have not played enough yet.

[-Lina, Veronica, Vika, Lyudmila]

Dear girls-Lina, Veronica, Vika, Lyudmila , many thanks to all for your participation and advice. : rose: How needed words of encouragement. My son is visiting now, he is leaving home tomorrow. I was in a good mood and well, I had no fever, I took heart that I would do without a hospital, but I went shopping, bought some clothes just in case, I was obviously tired today and the thoughts were not very good in my head. Something and a seagull only once today drank. Now I'm afraid to give my friends, they'll suddenly brew strong tea ...

Alla, dear, above the nose! Autumn, cloudy, depression, problems ... Anyway, all the bad will pass, and thoughts should be about the good. And we will support each other here, of course!

[flete]

flete, in a tea maker, tea turns out to be more delicious if you drive the tea out once, wait 15 minutes, and the same water a second time through the same tea leaves. Substances lying in deeper layers are extracted. It will turn out like in a thermos.

[Alla]

apparently tired today and thoughts are not very good in my head. Something and a seagull only once today drank. Now I am afraid to give my friends, they suddenly brew strong tea ...

Alla, it's not about "hard", but about "often and a lot." Shock doses of even the most useful product may not have a very good effect on well-being. For three years I have been drinking tea and everything is fine. And I brew very strong. You just fell for the good, and it's hard to stop. Everything will be fine, don't worry! Just take a break for now.

Lyudmila, thank you) Although the smell in the tea maker is very good - such an aroma is worth it, especially if there are cherries) But I like the taste of tea more in an ordinary thermos with a glass flask. While brewing in a teapot)) I have not played enough yet.

flete, thanks! I never brewed tea in a thermos. True, I have a metal thermos. You have to try it.

Try it, only the aroma will not be as strong. I don't really like metal ones, it absorbs smells, but glass thermoses are much better in this sense.
The main thing is that you can take a thermos with you) I usually carry it to the 2nd floor, to the computer)) So that my favorite tea is always at hand!

We do not sell thermoses with a glass flask. I even looked in St. Petersburg. I needed such a thermos last year. So she took from her neighbors - the old Soviet one. Nothing, I'm used to metal. I brew herbs in it.

And I never brewed in a thermos. But I don't have a small one, only a big one with a pomp-pump (or what is it called there?), Since Soviet times, we brew rose hips in it.
And the poor-quality iron was caught, the lid immediately leaked.

Flit, cool, tea in a thermos on the second floor .... right, so that you often don't run with a cup here and there. And I want to say, or rather to sing an ode to apricot tea, I made leafy tea, the very first one, it tastes like good green tea with a soooooo taste and aroma of apricot. Something my daughter and I got hooked on, and I also like the rustic: apple, plum, cherry and gooseberry. And I also have so many untested mono teas and I just cooked strawberries and blackthorns and blackberries, maybe I forgot what to eat from mono, aaaa still untested bird cherry, it's time to drink. Perhaps a month has already flown by in our conversations about tea.
I want to share my observation, I stopped drinking coffee at work, and I only drink tea, I just don't feel like it.

[Vika]

VikaAnd at the very beginning of summer, when everything started spinning here, I made tea from apricot, but it got such an unpleasant smell, I stopped making it, but I didn't throw it away, but the other day I smelled it, but it completely changed, I smell like a bone apricot, but not brewed yet, he is still in line. In my yard, the apricot is still green, and the neighbors are already naked. I have to pick it up tomorrow.

[francevna]

francevna, Alla, you need to add basil, lemon balm, lavender and bergamot to tea, when you brew it (you can do one thing, or you can all or in different combinations) - leaves or 1 drop of purified essential oil. I grow it in boxes on the balcony, I have everything fresh until December, then the leaves fall off, and in the spring everything grows again.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, class! Maybe plant it too? The basil is already frozen, and there is still a lot of lemon balm. And tarragon, and lemongrass ... And you have everything in different boxes, separately?
My husband will say that I'm crazy, there is already no place. Rather, there is a place, but there is little light everywhere. The other day, our indoor spruce Araucaria was brought into the house, and it has grown so much, already up to my shoulder and is also growing in breadth. We will dress up soon.

Linochka, Veronica, what can you say about jasmine flowers. Some time ago they gave me green tea with dried jasmine flowers from Mabrok in an iron jar. So I liked him. I tried to read in specialized literature, but there is practically nothing about jasmine, how would you advise you to dry it? Or are there different varieties, useful, not useful? How many years I wanted to pick and dry for tea, but fears stopped.

[Anya]

Anya, me on YOU! I have common large boxes where plants of the same botanical family grow, for example, labiata (mint). And there are small separate boxes where the mono-species grows, for example, tarragon, lavender, bergamot, stevia.

I want to share my observation, I stopped drinking coffee at work, and I only drink tea, I just don't feel like it.

Vika, this is very good - instead of coffee - tea! But I won't refuse coffee in any way, because I love it very much. I don't drink often, only in the morning, and sometimes in the evening.

[Vika]

Vika, Vikus, jasmine can and should be dried, but only flowers. They are just very suitable for Alla tea. Jasmine (flowers) is an excellent prevention and treatment of flu, weakness after illness, after stress and all kinds of disorders, helps to get ready before exams, reduces fears.

[Lina]

Lina, I have green tea with jasmine, from different manufacturers, I love it very much, but now I drink my own more.
I really like the scent of bergamot, but I didn't think that it could grow at home.
