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

[Alla]

Alla, bergamot does not grow big in our conditions, somewhere around 50-60cm, ampelous liana. But you can successfully replace 1 drop of essential oil just in tea, and you can put it in a teapot, or you can put a few drops in a box of dry tea, mix and close tightly - in a day you have a whole box of tea with bergamot.

Luda, so I did not completely refuse coffee: in the morning and like you in the evening, but I stopped at work.

Linochka, thank you, exactly as you say. When I drank for the first time, I had a cold and my head seemed to brighten, it affects my well-being very much. Without any Fervex and other paracetomol-containing drugs.
All boom to dry the jasmine flowers. Thank you, dear, for such a quick and informative answer.

what do you say about jasmine flowers

I'm also very interested in jasmine. This year my neighbor was pushing it downright. Leaves, not flowers. But so hands did not reach him. Rather, I didn’t do it, since they didn’t pass the "batch test". And the leaf was too crumbly. But if you put it through the freeze, then, probably, it should twist well. In general, I want to try to make flowers and leaves in spring.

[Lina]

Lina, I did not think about essential oil. I'll be at the pharmacy and ask. Thank you very much!

I am on the horoscope of the druids "jasmine".

In general, I want to try to make flowers and leaves in spring.

Luda, I wrote that it did not pass the batch test for me, but I still made a cup, what the hell
no he in general - no taste, no smell, no aroma, and, as far as I know, no benefit either. True, I have not the jasmine itself, but our relative - the mock-orange (another family). We do not grow real jasmine in the suburbs.

you can put a few drops in dry tea in a box, mix and close tightly - in a day you have a whole box of tea with bergamot.

Wow! I would never have thought of that. We must buy this oil. I also love bergamot very much. Once a friend gave me a box of pure bergamot. Where she got it from, I no longer remember. I think she brought it from India. So it was enough for me for a long time. I threw a couple of grains into the teapot. Great tea turned out.
Thank you, Linochka, for such valuable information!

I wrote that it did not pass the batch test for me, but I made a cup anyway, damn that it is not at all in general - neither taste, nor smell, nor aroma, and, as far as I know, benefits too.

Apparently, I then read your post about jasmine and lost interest in it. And what the neighbor is growing - mock orange or jasmine, I do not know. She calls him jasmine. The scent of flowers literally blows the roof off. Another neighbor brings me a bouquet of jasmine every spring - breaks at the one with whom it grows and gives. And after she leaves, I throw it away, since it is simply impossible to keep this beauty in the house.

The scent of flowers literally blows the roof off.

This is a chubushnik, it is of the hydrangea family, and it blows the roof off from the aroma. We do not have the conditions for the growth of real jasmine, in the south it can grow, but in our country it cannot. And chubushnik does not have the beneficial properties of jasmine. So we do not need neither his flowers nor leaves for tea. Let's admire it through the window.

Thank you, Lina, everything is clear! So, we will admire from afar ...

Linochka, you're just a storehouse of useful information. I love bergamot - both taste and smell. I will definitely use the advice. Thank you.

By the way - I just dripped citrus oils into the mix yesterday afternoon, which I didn't like by the smell) True, I poured the walls of the cans so generously) - but there is also a large volume.
Only one BUT - you need high-quality oils, especially if you drip them directly into tea - pharmacy ones are unlikely to work, but I judge this from our pharmacies - there are cheap substitutes. And once I wrote out very expensive ones, from a good company, so I dripped them.
By the way, and nobody tried to store vanilla pods in tea? I usually do this in lump cane sugar - then you take a piece and such a bit ... I thought about tea - I will have to try it)
In theory, you can also try cardamom grains ... That's it, Ostap suffered))

plants of the same botanical family, for example, labiates (mint).

our person

We do not grow real jasmine in the suburbs.

in room culture you can

[flete]

I did this with a stick of vanilla, put it, close it ... tea with vanilla flavor! By the way, they do it in the prom. scales.
flete , oh, you just asked about vanilla).
* JOKINGLY * exactly, carried us

) I also noticed that yesterday I dripped and almost at the same time there was a conversation about ethers in the topic) Collective consciousness works, it seems)

this morning I dried the last batch of tea (and maybe not the last), the strawberries are growing again

We also have a green one ... But in order to collect, you need to find knee pads - it's already cold on the ground, and it will be difficult to handle such an amount ... There are 6-7 large packages))

[flete,]

flete, Gulchetai, open your face, I want to address by name)
yes, the back is young, you can bend it (you will be flexible)

Oh girls! Yes, even winter does not stop you!

There are 6-7 large packages))

Whoa! How much!

flete, Gulchetay, open your face, I want to address by name

I join the previous speaker))))

Exactly! The flavor is great! You can change it every day.

[flete]

flete, Oksana, hello!

) I'm Oksana, there are a lot of us here))

Oksana, nice to meet you! Indeed, there is also Oksana! And everyone is so cool!

Thank you) I am very = very pleased)
I got out today)) besides the main cooking, there is also meringue with coconut and a biscuit on the yolks - and all the recipes from this wonderful site!

this site is a treasure trove of recipes for a good housewife
I really want to learn how to bake bread, different cakes ...pizza on good dough

That's for sure) My brother persuades me to a Russian stove)) for cooking - it's idle for us, everything was heated for the cat when we moved, but there was no gas ... Then the gas was supplied, the cat died, the stove began to smoke, since we don't heat it regularly - but this is a stove, and the Russian one does not smoke ... We have a three-in-one stove - a Russian stove, a Swedish stove and a Chinese stove almost as tall as a man. So I thought) And here are recipes for bread makers, and I'll be with a spade for bread)) Back in the Middle Ages)) _

Russian oven, Swedish stove and Chinese

straight international stove

And here are recipes for bread makers, and I will be with a spade for bread

so everyone dreams about it, with a shovel, but we have such an opportunity .... what could be better than a Russian stove !! Only a Russian oven!

Here he tells me about the same thing and says) Our mother is resisting, but she will soon go to the sanatorium, and at this time we will try to bake and master)) there is only one iron pot, if it does, I will master hearth bread and other joys ... an insert for trays in the oven was promised) My brother is engaged in forging professionally. It only remains to master the broom for flights)))))

I really want to learn how to bake bread, different cakes ... pizza on good dough

So what's the matter? Go to the Mistletoe! She has all the great recipes. I'm baking her new bread right now. Just outrageous. And I can throw in the pizza dough. I have recipes for the bread maker in my book. I love.
Do you have a bread maker?

I have a bread maker, but it’s been idle for a year already, the other day I bought a ready-made mixture "English bread" with different semushki, baked it, but this is not our option, give us all natures.
Lyudochka, here I am typing "pizza", there are all sorts of recipes .. but not like you with tea, with a master class, to be described in detail, with history, etc., we are not spoiled

Girls, but I still do not dare to cook in the Russian stove. Everything is there - a shovel, and a poker, and cast iron, and broom... But the oven is somehow easier. You set what temperature you need to set. And you have to get used to the Russian - to rake the ashes, cool ... But I cook everything on the stove in winter. very comfortably. While the oven is heating up, you cook lunch and dinner at the same time ...

[Galina Iv.]

Galina Iv.how idle? must be used. We do not eat much bread, and I regularly bake with sourdough.

[Loksa]

Loksa, Oksanochkin, teach me so))), so that I don't climb and search.

I have a bread maker, but it's been idle for a year now,

This is a uniform disgrace! We urgently need to correct the situation. Run to the Mistletoe in her Bread Maker! start with "Delicious Bread" at least. But first, go to Admin, read about koloboks https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=49808.0
And this recipe for pizza dough is not solid here to spread, because it is from the instructions for HP. And there is nothing to do there. I threw everything into the HP, but in the "Dough" mode I got it ready. Roll out, put whatever your heart desires and bake in the oven.

Luda, why then a bread maker, if you bake in the oven ??? Make it clear pliz

Oksanochkin, teach me so))) so that I don't climb and search.

No, Galya, it won't work out here. you need to read the theory. There Admin writes a lot. Good bread cannot be baked without knowledge of the "kolobok rule". And Admin teaches very well there. Always responds kindly. When you learn to bake in HP, then you can go into the jungle.

[lappl1]

I started reading the topic in the summer, when it had 20 pages. I don't have time to read everything. I really like unusual teas. It is worth remembering that before the penetration of the Chinese drink, it was precisely such drinks that the Slavs drank.
So far, only theoretically preparing for tea drying. Great tips! Great master class! lappl1, , thanks for the information. And the rest of the "tea-lovers" for their comments.

Lyudmilochka, yes, I baked bread several times when I just bought it, then I abandoned it.Baked milk with raisins, it seems like nothing happened, but I want more ..

Galina, come on, pizza in a bread maker in any way! Current in the oven. And you can also use the airfryer. And in HP, you can knead the dough even if you are used to the oven. HP kneads well, otherwise the handles hurt with the dough to jerk. Especially with me, with de Quervain's syndrome ... And with leaven, the matter is so delicate. We need to read about her, get inspired. When you begin to understand that it, that is, the leaven, is alive, then the matter will go off half a kick. Now I'm waiting for my leaven, tomorrow it will be ready. Apparently, Lyudmila is now baking that Ksyushin bread, a new one, which I set my sights on, only she has a yeast recipe, and I counted it for sourdough. I'll cook it tomorrow, we'll enjoy it!
And again about bread. Somewhere a phrase slipped through, they say, all recipes for a bread machine are suitable for any model of a bread machine. And here is the "national Indian dwelling"! Recipes for Panasonic are suitable for Panasonic. To others - yes, they are mostly similar. And in Panas, the temperature is equalized, and therefore it asks for more water than other stoves. So you need to a) read the theory, b) stroke your stove and persuade, then everything will work out.
Oh, a new answer ... Galya, if you want more, you need to master the leaven.

we are leaving the topic of tea, but I will write, but by the way, tea with bread .. mmmmmm
started reading from Admin ... and immediately came across my mistake: I never open the HP), the dough was sausage, sausage, I have HP with two screws, then on one screw, then on the other, when everything was over, then the dough started to bake practically "sitting" on one of them, as a result, the loaf is high, but lopsided, but I can’t say anything about the crust, even if you knock with a hammer, I’ll give up this thing again for a year

Luda, why then a bread maker, if you bake in the oven ??? Make it clear pliz

Well, you can't bake pizza in HP. And in the oven, you can bake those breads that are not very good in HP. for example, a ciabatta, with huge holes. Or baguettes ...
I haven’t sat on bread theory for six months, I thought that good bread can only be baked in the oven. After studying the theory, I realized that HP is capable of almost everything. You can't tell right away. and not here. Go to Admin. And to the mistletoe.

in short, they sent me to Admin ....

here again I will abandon this case for a year

Eh! Don't threaten us here! She will abandon. By the way, I also threw it for a year. I thought that nothing good could be baked in HP. I was not satisfied with the crumbliness of the bread. And then, when I studied the bread theory, I realized what gluten is and how to get it as fully developed as possible, I tried to bake more than one bread in the oven, and I learned how to bake it in KhP. Now I believe that our HP is capable of almost anything. The main thing is not to drive horses, but to slowly study the theory. Find your HP model on the site. There you will find all the answers. And before throwing in the HP once again, bake the "Delicious bread" Mistletoe bread. Just check the bun. You will see that you do not want to part with HP later.
And forget about the leaven for now. you must first understand what bread is, learn how to bake with yeast, and then you can start sourdough.
