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

[annnushka27]

annnushka27, Anechka, but my garden is very young and the cherries are very small, only one meter 1.5, and the rest are 70 cm. I picked up these leaves and burned them safely, walk around them, smell them, do not throw them away, the aroma may appear .... although there is very little hope. And I am a lover of loose tea.

Galina, but my cherry does not grow at all! I go and beg! I have almost no yard.
only apple, apricot and hazelnuts grow!

This time I was walking at the dacha, I saw raspberry leaves, my hand stretched out .... but immediately moved away .. enough !!!! Let’s wait a bit for the southern girls and take stock, lay the table and summarize what we learned in the first season. Lyudochka will give us diplomas for the successful completion of the first year, and we will confer on her the title of "Honored Tea Maker"

[Anya]

Can tea be stored in glass jars, and in which ones are better, with screw or plastic lids?

Anya, it is possible, only (Galya said correctly) that the lids do not reliably smell of any pickled cucumbers. Can be made from jam and honey. And you need to store transparent jars in the dark.

Tara is not enough!

Good sign ! So you will have tea!

Lyudochka will give us diplomas for the successful completion of the first year, and we will confer on her the title of "Honored Tea Maker"

Wow ... I went to write letters ... We need 84 pieces already!

and I already have it ready for you, designer)

Thank you Checkmark. The design one is very interesting. And I myself developed the design of the letters for my students, I made it myself, printed it out and awarded it myself in my office. As an addition to the assessment at the final seminars ..

Here is my future tea made from badan (I sort of cleared it under it)


True, it will not be enough!

and awarded in her office

well, that means no getting used to, there is already experience)

[Tatyana]

Here is my future tea made from badan (I sort of cleared it under it)

Tatyana, under the bushes you can put the leaves of wild trees (birch, aspen ...) or hay. That is, to mulch the land. Then in the spring the leaves of the badan will be clean. I have all the strawberries, even in the wettest season, always clean, because I mulch all the beds.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, there under him with mulch his own frozen leaves. Clean in the spring. But another bush - it is smaller - grows in a place where there will always be dirt in the spring.

Galina, Lyudmila, in addition to the teacher, is also the general director of the tea factory. Collects, teaches, guides the process and directs in the right direction!

[paramed1,]

paramed1, Veronica, oh, exactly, she missed about our factory !!! So we will write the Order!

tea factory director

Oh-pa! I haven’t been a director in my life yet ... NOW I’ll kick my nose with importance!

Of course, the director, and what! Was there any rationalization proposals under his leadership? There were. The plan, I think, is overfulfilled, if you count how much everything here was dried and turned. Exactly, an order and a medal are needed! A medal for patience, because if you count how many times Lyuda explained the same thing to us all ... (This is her state after the 200th page ...)

[Veronica]

because if you count how many times Lyuda explained the same thing to us all ...

Veronica, yes I'm a teacher ... So I'm used to ...

Was there any rationalization proposals under his leadership? There were. The plan, I think, is overfulfilled, if you count how much everything here was dried and turned.

Exactly! How many new things we have discovered together this season! I would never do it alone. And the most important opening of this season is "Country Tea" in all its variations. Love him !...
So, dear girls, thank you all! A very soulful tea season turned out ...

Here is my future badan tea
Galina, under the incense, collect the leaves, which are already black, they are ready-made, fermented. I also have badan, just a little bit different, there is more redness, maybe, really, the photo is like that?

Sorry, Tatiana!

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa, nobody can quote me today
No, mine is completely green. He (badan) can be thick-leaved and thick-stemmed (I hope I didn't mix anything up), maybe that's the point? I don't know which one of them belongs to, it's called "what they gave, thank you for that"
I read about last year's badan leaves. They are drugs in themselves. But we want tea!

In the summer, I also shook and shook everyone about the badan, no one answered, I collected the black ones, they lie in a jar, there is no smell at all, right, it's not fermented, and I didn't make greens (I still have a small one, who doesn't have to rip off). And my leaves seem to be thicker, and more red. But the Kurilian, on the other hand, pleased the smell, something fruity-floral, and I did it a little, no one said anything about it either.

Lena, look at the first page in the Notes for a link to the badan. There are 6 of them. The girls did. But they did not succeed very well. Apparently, the most correct tea from it is natural, spring tea, just those blackened and dried leaves. Maybe there shouldn't be a smell. Try it, brew it. I don't have badan, but I would definitely try to do something.
And I don't really have anything to make Kuril tea. small bush, see 50 in height. I looked at it all season, there is nothing to collect there. Maybe next year there will be more. I'll try to do it at least a little.

[Tatyana]

I read about last year's badan leaves. They are drugs in themselves. But we want tea!

Tatyana, and so these same last year's leaves are tea. And the girls did not succeed in making it out of green berry.

nobody can quote me today

Tanya, but I could ...

[lappl1]

lappl1, I have already read, and also studied something, and from mine, the witcher, I remembered (I haven't remembered my herbs for a long time, but I just bungled a spicy-medicinal bed). And that green leaves are poisonous. So the experiments were dangerous.
About Kuril tea (Potentilla) I can say that I have it, in principle, dwarf, no more than 30 centimeters. But not classic, yellow, but salmon. The rest of the bushes died (there were three more). And I don't grow herbal ones.

And that green leaves are poisonous. So the experiments were dangerous.

Nothing to yourself! I didn't know. And the girls too ...

and from her, the witcher, I remembered

Tanya, I'm ashamed to ask ... How's that?

[lappl1]

lappl1, yes, I dabbled in medicinal herbs - in the sense of treating myself and others a little. They cooked cream with my daughter, experimented with ethers. Even the broadcasts themselves were driven (so, slightly, not seriously

but a neighbor, having come to visit his daughter, decided that she was "indulging"

).
The creams were excellent.
That's why I got interested in the topic.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, thanks for the answer ! Clear! Your creams are good! Me too, there was a case, I did cream and lotions. But not very serious.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, exactly. Good esters are an expensive hobby, but you can't make good ones out of bad ones.

To drive my own - well, I have problems with chemistry! - long and difficult (though interesting). Then my daughter became in a position, what kind of broadcasts And now - a grandson. Once and dangerous - he climbs everywhere, fidget, almost noticed - broken laboratory glass - this is the most harmless.

Tanya, I didn't get to the airs ... My recipes were simpler.
Well, at least our current tea hobby is practically cost-free ... If only you need to spend money on a good meat grinder.

Oh, and I plucked a few leaves of green bergenia - now they are in the freezer with strawberries ... By the way, I climbed to look at information on them - this is a very strong antiseptic, so it seems that you can have a small amount of them. Well, I'll experiment and unsubscribe - if I stay alive)) I think that after the regular many years of taking fly agarics, the berry won't take me)) I always say that a little poison hasn't hurt anyone yet))
There is information on green badan in the article 🔗

[flete]

flete, well, yes, Asclepius said that "in small doses - medicine, in large doses - poison"? or someone else? I only remember that one of the ancient doctors

that "in small doses - medicine, in large doses - poison"?

so a small amount of them is possible, it seems.

But how do you determine which dose will be harmless?
Veronica and Lina must wait. Maybe they will clarify the situation with the badan?

I think that 3-4 leaves of bergenia per bag of strawberries will not be poisonous enough)) Let's just say. Moreover, they have been lying in the freezer for a week already - so as they were not without poison at all), it will be a woe)
You know, when I started drinking fly agarics for the first time, and even with my cat - well, if I die, then together)), my relatives looked at me like a kamikaze) Seeing that the cat climbs off the stove and demands its portion - and the fly agarics were kept in a cabinet on which the door was characteristically knocked, so he knew that his relatives urgently demanded my tincture for themselves) By the way, the cat's tummy was cleaned very well - for some reason, a drop of amanita per day acted as a cleansing stomach , good - and he loved massage of the abdomen very much in old age - lived 18 years.
And every morning, before eating, he chewed dry celandine - during the winter he managed to grind a whole large bag, only the butterflies remained. We already knew - if I went behind the refrigerator to chew celandine - and there was a bag, we had to get food) Maybe that's why I lived so long ...
Therefore, I think that the flight will be normal, I do not trample)

[flete,]

flete, , Oksana, and our cat lived for 21.5 years !! Although he did not eat celandine or fly agaric).
Well, about badan, how do all people drink it all their lives in Altai ???

About the badan. Badan is a thick-leaved medicinal plant, rhizomes and less often leaves are used. As my clever old book says, overwintered leaves are several times more effective. But nowhere is it said in a categorical form that green leaves should not be consumed. Moreover, it is written about the medicinal properties of the plant. Let's all the same again remember that for treatment plants are dried at a completely different temperature regime than when drying tea. Badan for lekceli is dried at a rate of no higher than 60 degrees. That is, its properties change. Second. When making tea, fresh leaves go through a fermentation process, that is, the same thing that happens to leaves after winter. For peace of mind, you can freeze them in the freezer for several days before fermentation.
Yes, I did not find a mention of the fact that bergenia leaves are poisonous. Perhaps, in recent years, something was found there, but the chemical composition, which is known from the textbook, does not speak about the toxicity of the plant. In the recipe, I am advised to pour boiling water over a few leaves of badan, leave for half an hour, strain and drink instead of water, adding honey or sugar to taste. Emphasized: infusion dose is not limited. And this has a strong restorative effect.
In general, we ourselves are the creators of our own destiny ... pull into your mouth like small children to make tea from plants questionable for someone. Around a bunch of others, harmless.
I forgot: badan is not recommended for patients with a tendency to thrombosis and under reduced pressure. Again, prepared as a medicinal raw material.

Yes, more. You can find almost any information on the Internet, but it will not always be correct. If you need to find something about the medicinal properties of plants, then you do not need to be guided by articles in women's magazines and on popular sites. The opposite may be written there.More than once I came across the fact that clever articles are written by people who practically do not understand pharmacognosy and herbal medicine. Best of all - books about herbs, and those published before 1990.

Veronica, thank you for such a detailed story!

Galina, my cat would still have lived if they had not insisted in the clinic to clean the stones on his teeth on a machine under anesthesia. So his kidneys failed, six months after that he stretched out and died ... And then I did not know what could be from anesthesia - this was my first animal.

[flete]

flete, Oksana ... oh oh ... you get used to them, to our kind of brothers, especially if 21.5 years are with you side by side), yes 18 too)

[flete]

flete, Oksana, anesthesia is this ... We decided to clean the stones for the dog, also under general anesthesia. And my son is a veterinarian. So he almost killed us later! We did not consult with him. He told us that each anesthesia shortens the life of an animal, that some terrible percentage does not wake up at all, and many diseases occur after it. Ours went fine. But since then, the son comes to visit twice a year with tools and cleans the stone without any anesthesia.

That's for sure) where without them) There are now 2 cats at home, both matched, the second one was thrown right into the yard)) But favorite

Yes, I also now immediately stipulate to mine - that they clean without anesthesia. And the older one had 2 operations in general - at first the inflammation of the uterus - at the same time they sterilized, but everything was very neglected - they brought her so sick, and a year later she swallowed a needle. My mother had a sewing machine open, she chewed on the thread and the needle behind it ... I was in the clinic for 5 days, dug up after the operation. She is ten years old already. And the youngest was sterilized, she is the third year. They run into the street, that's why I had to.
And yes, I talked to the doctor, she said that it was impossible to guess how the anesthesia would work - someone almost ten times and nothing, but someone from the first, like my cat ...

Veronica, a smart girl, wrote everything correctly about the badan. You can calmly make tea from it. Of the contraindications, in addition to increased coagulation and hypotension, constipation and tachycardia (heart palpitations) are also included. Please take into account these factors so as not to get complications in life, which you will later consider as the consequences of some other diseases and take a long time to heal from them. And you just need to take into account the possible adverse effects.

Lina, did not write about 2 contraindications, because she missed: the thought is ahead, and the finger pokes into the tablet more slowly, that's it .... It was like pouring out painful things in general about modern knowledge and about badan in particular ...

[Veronica]

Veronica , Linochka , thank you very much for such useful information. I’m thinking - what would we do without you? So many firewood would be broken!
We are much calmer with you! Thank you dear girls

Girls, and I'm a dog lover. I had and still have cats, but I didn’t start them myself. And I love dogs since childhood, although I have been bitten by them repeatedly. Our dog lived for 18 years. They also didn't drink him with fly agarics, they didn't take him to the dentist. The teeth were like a young man's before he died. They did not feed him with fashionable dry food, but cooked porridge for him. and, boiled bones were in the daily diet. For us, he was a member of the family. When he died, we left for a long time. Until now, his photo hangs in a frame.

Luda, my dog ​​breed is such that stones grow, vestik. She is small, and this is the trouble with little things, the jaws are small, and it is impossible to gnaw the bones. Therefore, we wipe the gums twice a day, the son ordered.
Tea stocks decreased again, guests grabbed strawberries. I feel that next season I will definitely have to do tea every day. But the nephew swore, hugging the container of strawberries, that she would definitely help. This year she gave me half of the tea! At ten in the evening he comes from the party and for the meat grinder. And now he is proud!

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Linochka, and I did not immediately recognize you with the new ava. Good! I also want to change.

[Veronica]

so my dog ​​breed is such that stones grow, vestik.She is small, and this is the trouble with little things, the jaws are small, and it is impossible to gnaw the bones. Therefore, we wipe the gums twice a day, the son ordered.

Veronica, be stunned! This is the life of the dog ... Or the owners ...

I feel that next season I will definitely have to do tea every day. But the nephew swore, hugging the container of strawberries, that she would definitely help.

That's for sure! I made tea every day for a month and a half. Sometimes two parties. Then 3 times a week. So the tea came out fine. If there was a normal oven, I would make more tea. And so, more than 1 kg of leaves is difficult to dry - tea is steamed.
Respect to your niece! Especially what takes on the most difficult thing - a meat grinder.

Yes, Linochka changed her clothes, she's good, I didn't recognize it right away either, only when the nickname read it well, the omen is ... to wealth.
Flite is indulging in fly agarics, I once met a woman, so she also used fly agarics and said that such a surge of strength from these mushrooms, honestly honestly and quite seriously.
