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

[garden]

Don't slander yourself, Checkmark! You make tea and soap garden growing, baking pies ...

Aha, a vegetable garden! A real botanical garden! Galina, don't be shy!

Here is Anya's recipe for marmalade on agar.

The marmalade is delicious. I even tried to make it from purchased juice, we all liked it. I wanted to post a recipe, but I already have one, I didn't duplicate it.

Anechka, besides my main job, I had my own shop for gardeners for 10 years in St. Petersburg, and I planted what was not sold during the season at my place, and even so, when I made purchases for the store, I pinched something interesting.
I say what awl in ...
I am interested in a lot, especially what is connected with nature, with naturalness, so I am with you and very grateful to you all!

annnushka27, Do you dilute live yeast with water or put it like that? I also think to try with live.

Yes, first I put yeast, sugar in a bucket, pour a warm liquid. Before the start of kneading, my HP just costs 20 minutes, it's called "temperature equalization", during this time the yeast dissolves, then flour, salt, oil go there.

yes, in addition to my main job, I had my own shop for gardeners in St. Petersburg for 10 years

Galina, wow! Well done! We recently needed a salesman in the Ogorodnik store, I wanted to get a job, but it opens early, I do not have time to take my son to the kindergarten.

[Galina Iv.]

Galina Iv., I'm lying around Ishsho and shops I won't go for leaves, I'll go for spruce branches - (although it may be early) everything needs to be covered.

[annnushka27]

annnushka27, you have to open it yourself)

There is a suggestion. Add to the title of the topic: "... and everything you need for its preparation and use." I imagine how many questions we will touch on until the new leaves hatch!

[paramed1]

paramed1and everything around us!

will not hatch

Girls, for some reason, notifications of new replies did not come. She went in, and you are already here with shops and rationalization proposals:
[quote author = paramed1 link = topic = 389380.0 date = 1415356398 Add to the topic title: "... and everything you need to prepare and consume it." ] I can imagine how many questions we will touch upon until the new leaves hatch! [/ Quote]
In-in ... What can we do if there are no leaves ... We will chat over a cup of tea what our heart desires ... With the old name ... And then it is already so long ...

Ladies, I am always very confused by the large amount of sugar in marmalade recipes. I understand that in the purchased it is also the sea. And nobody tried to do it with stevia? Replace at least part of the sugar?

our southerner girls are tricky, the first ones will HIT the leaves and the last ones end

Lyudochka, is tea made from "chickens" different from "adult chickens"?

Amy, in the recipes for marmalade, I am always very confused by the large amount of sugar. I understand that in the purchased it is also the sea. And nobody tried to do it with stevia? Replace at least part of the sugar?

Oksana, look in Alexandra's recipes (she does everything with stevia, more precisely with stevioside), and I do everything with a mixture of fructose and stevia (in the leaves) - proportions to taste, but fructose always goes much less sugar + part is replaced by stevia. In this combination, sweetness does not differ from sugar and there is no stevia aftertaste. Even my daughter who is stevia miles away. senses does not always notice the replacement of sugar.

I read you all the time. And I don't have time to write. But what I noticed is that our conversations smoothly move from one topic to another, not intrusively, but everything is on business. And it's so cozy here, so good.
So I've read a lot about bread, ahead of the weekend I will conjure over a bread maker.

Galina, young leaves are more juicy, dry longer, and small ones, tear more and longer But we will still go to the fields-forests-gardens as soon as the buds hatch! Over the winter, your hands will itch! And legs...

Oksana, look in Alexandra's recipes (she does everything with stevia, more precisely with stevioside), and I do everything with a mixture of fructose and stevia (in leaves)

ABOUT! Thank you very much, otherwise all the components are there, but I walk in circles, I do not dare)

Over the winter, your hands will itch! And legs...

Veronica, write us all a prescription for scabies in advance

dry longer, and small, tear more and longer

and we are not looking for easy ways

And I ditched the meat grinder! I wanted to make granulated tea from the last apple leaves - nothing came of it, the safety sleeve broke. And the power is 950 watts! And how do you twist it with little hands ?!
And the granules crumbled into dust, and after fermentation it’s not even that ... In short, my version is leaf tea! Granular with several attempts and failed to create.
It is a pity that the whole packet of leaves could not be cultivated. And I just brewed dried leaves - beeeeee, it's called "feel the difference"!

[Burunduk]

Burunduk, Tanechka, and I always twist it by hand, autumn leaves go with great effort ... so I twist them here and there, they zamkat perfectly, I take out these pressed sausages, and then I cut them and voila!

and tea from "chickens" differs from "adult hens"?

Is different! It's easier to do. The leaves are juicier, softer and more elastic! But they, in fact, need to be dried longer. I think this is not critical. And if we compare in taste and aroma, then Ivan-tea is definitely better than young tea. And I like the older ones more - they develop taste and aroma closer to autumn. Although I am ready to make tea at any time, despite these nuances.

Galina, the recipe right now! Take a ba-a-alshoy package (basket, bag), gloves, rubber boots, it is desirable to put on shoes (in some places there will still be snow and puddles), with a quick step to the plantation. Take an unlimited number of times a day (while the legs are walking, the hands are tearing and the meat grinder with the drying unit is working) from May to November.

Although I am ready to make tea at any time, despite these nuances.

Lyudochka, we are all in your tribe)

from May to November

and from November to April?
Nobody wrote to me about heather ...

[Tanechka]

And I ditched the meat grinder!

Tanechka, my condolences ... The most important tool of the tea-maker! Very sorry! And it's very difficult for me to use a manual one! In September, she worked her shoulder so hard, she still responds ...

Nobody wrote to me about heather ...

I only know verses about heather (about heather honey), but I haven't seen the scent itself ...

here he is, Lyudochka! You know him. take a walk in the pine forest, where the earth is sand ... although, however, it grows in swampy places.
I found this: brooms were made from heather in the old days. In Scotland, in whose culture heather occupies a very special place of honor, a yellow dye was produced from the leaves of the plant for the famous tartan, from which plaids and kilts, the national dress of the Scots, were sewn. Heather was also used in the production of heather ale, a traditional Scottish strong beer, the first mention of which dates back to the 2nd century BC. e.!
: lol: in! in winter we will brew beer and make brooms

From November to April, you can dig out the snow like a reindeer and nibble on cranberries-badan, or jump under fir-trees and other conifers, collecting thorns. And then the bumps. Just sitting and reaping the fruits of their labors, that is, quietly drinking tea is unlikely to work. During the period of communication with the workers of the tea factory, headed by our permanent leader Luda, it turned out that the workaholic enti only dream of peace.
Lina will appear and complete the recipe. She is the head physician at the factory, she can write something else out. And in between brewing tea, I will go to tie a shawl.

and heather is also a good honey plant, which is why there is heather honey
By the way, Luda, you can also make OUR heather fashion according to your recipe)))

You know him. take a walk in the pine forest where the earth is sand ...

Gal, thanks for the picture! I know your pine forests. There was a case, I was walking.We are not like that. Kilometers through 150 from St. Petersburg in our direction, the pines change into spreading. And we do not have clean pine forests - they grow mixed with deciduous ones. And I have not seen such a scent here ...

Luda, you can also make OUR heather fashion according to your recipe)))

I think that tea too ... You can't fool the bees. They will not fly at anything. In general, you need to read the composition of the leaves. If there are tannins, then the tea will turn out great. Anyway, no one bothers to try ..

Lyudochka, yes, they grow in my dacha, although we have a real swamp. Kwa-kwa .., oh, I already started croaking
It grows from the very north to the Mediterranean Sea, in Siberia, as well as in Morocco and the Azores.
So take a closer look! and I dried some flowers for tea.

and I always use manual

That's right, my sister does not refuse a manual meat grinder, having an electric

ha, especially made in the USSR, forever!

Girls, and I have a fascist meat grinder. Since that war. 1939 year. Only nobody can untwist it. We found her in the garden. Probably from the war and lay. That would be to revive her!

this is a find !!!
Lyudochka, and in the heather there are tannins and finally it turns out to be a useful scent !!

The most important tea-maker's tool! Very sorry! And it's very difficult for me to use a manual one! In September, she worked her shoulder so hard, she still responds ...

ABOUT! As I knew, from the very beginning, the leaf gull seemed more dear to me. The breakage is not critical - the safety sleeve was invented for this, so that in case of danger of overload, the plastic part breaks, and the motor does not burn. I'll replace it, it's okay, but with the leaves to her now, no, no!

Secondly, duplicated systems work more reliably!

heather and wild rosemary (they are from the same botanical family) are excellent for arthrosis and arthritis. However, I do not know how they taste and color. If the taste is normal, then tea should be made from them together with flowers. This I pass from the chicken coop, but the connection is terrible.

Galya, I've already googled it. There is! So get busy this weekend. This is an evergreen plant, so you can dig up leaves from under the snow all winter.
And I have not seen here. Maybe Anyuta will poke her nose?

I also have a terrible connection. But not because from the chicken coop, but because the speed dropped due to the fact that I ate all my traffic.
And I once drank wild rosemary from a cough, as an expectorant I was prescribed. Dried. It was not tasty for me.

bitter rosemary

I understand that you will be tortured to tear off these strings-leaves from the heather, but in winter there will be nothing to do, it is evergreen))

Take Oksana as your assistant. But no .. Her hands hurt.

Only nobody can spin it

You probably sell cans with the name VD-40 (only in English letters) in building stores or auto parts stores. To process this garbage thread a couple of times and unwind, how cute! Such nuts rusty with salt and dirt under the bottom of the car were spun with this spray ... but if it doesn't help, then the spray bottle will come in handy on the farm, blow-lubricate the locks for the winter, creaky doors, etc. (my dear favorite thing)
Well, of course, you can still try to drown in gasoline or kerosene for a while and then try to unwind (really stink ...)

heather and wild rosemary (they are from the same botanical family)

I don’t know how heather, I didn’t eat it, but the wild rosemary is bitter and the worst thing is a CEREOUS ALLERGEN!
we have a familiar bronchitis somehow decided to treat him, so they barely pumped out - anaphylactic shock with laryngeal edema. Well, the ambulance quickly rushed in (the substation was nearby) ... so it would not hurt to be careful with smells and their wild usefulness. (Although my half, an allergic person, at one time regularly treated bronchitis with wild rosemary and niche, and in the spring, every year, snot comes out)

about heather they write that the infusions cure cough and even pulmonary tuberculosis well .. about the side effects they write that there is practically no

Girls, under no circumstances make tea with rosemary. It is very poisonous. It is used in medicine in very small doses. Slight overdose and poisoning are guaranteed.

Have you tried VD-shkoy? Surely rusted, and better than this transatlantic contraption was not invented.

(I wrote and saw that they had already answered, then I will add a picture)

I twisted my LAST (exactly, exactly) raspberries, which the neighbors brought from the dacha as a gift, well, it’s bad! I didn't have such work with any scent, I thought either a meat grinder or my hands would break, I didn't twist it a second time, and after this raspberry the needles flew into the air. We don't have heather, but wild rosemary is full, when it blooms, I can't go into the forest, my head breaks, although, moreover, I carry one branch to the dacha, put it in the water and smell it periodically.
