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

[flete,]

flete, Oksana, did you twist it and dry it right away? or do you have a method of sweating?

Galina, yes, I use the sweating method - 2 days in a tightly closed bag in the warmth, until the smell appears, then the freezer, then the meat grinder, but then if she fermented for 2-3 hours, then the smell is very tasty, and tea too. And if you immediately dried it, then smoked fish)
Then I began to sniff after 12 hours - I open the package, if the smell of drunk berries - then freeze.

[flete]

flete, Oksana, it's clear where your fish's legs grow from ... Fermentation has not gone through all the stages. Carbohydrates did not have time to defeat proteins, and they began to react with neighboring components, so the smell went. Fermentation should take place at a specific temperature and humidity. Sweat the leaves, then you destroyed the vacuoles with a meat grinder, and the juice came out. So he was not fermented. Nothing, we all learn, and from our own mistakes too ...

Well, what to do - negative experience is also an experience) Although tea, even with smoked meat, turned out to be quite decent) I am not going to throw it away)

Ladies, maybe someone can tell me a recipe for buckwheat porridge in a Russian oven? I can't figure out the ratio of cereal to water.
The second day I am having fun with the oven) The millet intuitively turned out to be just fabulous - this is something homogeneous and tender) Cakes today, too - however, these are not even cakes made from yeast dough, but fluffy rolls - I have never eaten such a crust, something fantastic. I'm thinking about porridge)) And pearl barley is in the oven)

[flete]

flete, Oksana, we envy, we do not have such a furnace
wait for everything to come to you: girl_skakalka:

Well, why not) True, I live in distant Siberia) So the stove is partly a payment for the absence of civilization))

[Galina Iv.]

Galina Iv., of course, there are no leaves in the dacha, Winter lives in the dacha! I was-saw; I searched the trees for the shelter of the buds. Toko there is no snow - I veiled my arrival, I froze, I drink tea.

Oksana, where from siberia? I am from Western, Tomsk region, 70 km from Nizhnevartovsk.

Buckwheat with water 1: 2 + butter immediately, pearl barley with water 1: 2.5 (with milk 1: 5). Immediately in a hot place until intense steam and gurgles, then in a colder corner buckwheat for 2-3 hours, barley for 5-6 hours.

Lyudmila, Alla, girls with new clothes!

Valentine, Thank you ! And you too with new clothes! Something with the cold weather, we have a tendency to change the image.

AND WE HAVE A DAD ARRIVING HOME ON WEDNESDAY, here!

Lenochka, congratulations! Let the husband recover quickly. Houses and walls help.

[Oksana]

I remember how I did it - even when drying in a bag, it is necessary to ferment the ground for another 2-3 hours. And when you dry it right away, the fishy smell goes. I will have one more fishy one, I remember that it smelled a couple of times when I was drying, the rest was normal.

Oksana, while I went to my computer, you have already been answered. Veronica and Galya are right. After sweating, it was not worth sending the leaves to the freezer. It was necessary first for fermentation, and then for drying.
In general, the classics in the production of tea have not harmed anyone yet - collecting - withering - (freezer in the absence of time or if desired) - twisting / twisting - fermentation - drying. If you skip a stage, the result is unlikely to be good.

Girls, now I am reading the book by V. V Pokhlebkin "Tea, its history, properties and use." Very interesting and informative! Took the book on the "Site about tea" here 🔗 Who cares, join.

He was a great scientist.The murder was never solved. The war passed, but some ... killed. In my apartment. The official version is robbery.
It was he who proved that vodka is a Russian drink. And they first began to manufacture in Moscow, in one of the Kremlin monasteries.

Hello everyone! Relatives came to me today, Amber Pie helped out, though the husband of my husband's sister (whoever wants to, will understand what kind of relatives came with their cabbage pie, the pie is stunning. They tasted tea, for them it was a discovery. Only my husband's sister suffers greatly from allergies, especially in the spring, when the birch is in bloom, so when she tasted several of my teas, she suddenly developed a runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezed ...

Now I called her, at home already, but the nose is stuffed up, it is immediately felt, she says that it has already become easier. Who would have thought that such a reaction would be.

I keep telfast for guests (sometimes for myself). Now there are already next generation antihistamines. But I'm fine with this one. Moreover, it is compatible with alcohol

I sit in frustrated feelings. I didn't pick up the leaves, the tea didn't come out ...
Truncated, we are waiting for spring.

He was a great scientist. The murder was never solved.

I only learned about his fate yesterday when I downloaded the book. I feel sorry for the man ... And even in my MP3 now his book "Secrets of Good Kitchen" is uploaded. I listen with pleasure.

Tan, we have a lot of people who have proven what, especially in vodka ...

Girls, and I got upset with tea again (((
I did everything "according to science", both time and temperature, but it was not there. The first teas "not according to the rules" turned out much better. And this one here hangs in a bag dries up, well, hay with hay (((. only during defrosting and when twisting. And then - just grass ... Drying also did not save. Who was it and what was wrong?

[Tatyana]

I didn't pick up the leaves, the tea didn't come out ...

Tatyana, and what exactly did not work out? Maybe more infusion?

* JOKINGLY * so we drank a glass of liquor for the meeting))))

[Tatyana]

Truncated, we are waiting for spring.

Tatyana, already, ALREADY SPRING! I went to the balcony for jam, and there clematis blossomed. Here is:

Of course, there are no leaves in the dacha, Winter lives in the dacha!

Yes, nope, it's not winter yet, the strawberry leaves are turning green with might and main and the neighbor has a green raspberry, but this is with the neighbor, we are waiting for winter this week.

[Inusya]

True, the leaves lay in the freezer for three weeks, but I don't think that it affected.

Inusya, the freezer could not do that. If only the leaves were not withered before the freezer, then everything could be.

And then - just grass ... Drying also did not save. Who has it and what is wrong?

When did you make this tea? Saw it already? After drying, the tea should have almost no smell if it dries well. After aging (dry fermentation), the smell will appear.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, what a wonderful spring you have, and where did it come from on the balcony?

I went to the balcony for jam, and there clematis blossomed.

Lina, what a beauty! I have not seen the white one yet.

Well, clematis has been living on my balcony for the third year already. And now I confused something. Leaves are thrown off all the sauces, and he has grown green and bloomed. Here's the current that filmed.

confused something with your clematis. Our apple trees want to bloom. Last week I was surprised by the swollen kidneys. But now, however, minus, so that nature will calm down ...

So when she tried several of my teas, as a result, a runny nose appeared abruptly, her nose was stuffy, she sneezed ...

Galya, it's not a fact that this is from tea. Maybe the ingredients of the pies are allergic.

no, she is a very strong allergic person and this is her plant ((

When I dry tea, I also sneeze. Especially from pine, mint, lemon balm, snakehead. Therefore, my oven is on the veranda and dry with the door open.

Galina, sneezes more often on house dust and animal hair.

[Inusya]

Inusya, he was a scientist, a historian. His research was accepted in international arbitration as the basis for using the terms Russun vodka and Vodka for products marketed only by the Soviet Union. Similar to champagne and cognac by France, jamon by Spain, port by Portugal and other territorial products. In the 60s, it seems, years (or 70s, I don't remember), Poland wanted to sue this right for itself. The government turned to Pokhlebkin. He provided materials for arbitration. As a result, he proved that in Poland vodka began to be produced even earlier than they proved, but still later than in Muscovy. The money, by the way, on a national scale, is not small. By the way, his murder was considered, in particular, related to his work. But, as I said, nothing was investigated. There was nothing to take from him at home.
I read his books on cooking as a child. And "All About Spices" and "Secrets of Good Cuisine". Later "Tea", "History of vodka" and others.

Who cares - it's on filibust 🔗

LyudmilI hope it picks up the flavor as the fishy smell is gone. It doesn't smell like grass either. Just not any

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, adorable. I love this form of clematis. Not all terry.

the fishy smell disappeared. It doesn't smell like grass either. Just not any

Tanya, this is how it should be. Well-dried tea should not smell. So for now it is necessary to remove it if it is completely dry. And check, no earlier than a month later.

So we postpone ...

Girls, I don't even know now, after looking at these photos, but if I love tea so much ...

[Valentine]

Valentine, Thank you.
New clothes (avatar) on time, all day -4, but snow is needed, otherwise the roses will freeze. For tomorrow, the rain was passed, I'm afraid that everything will be covered with ice, we often have this.
Yes, our tea drinks well in the morning and does not hurt the stomach.

Clematis supported the spring mood of his mistress!

Alla, and we got in the mood! A very beautiful flower!

but you can learn more about where to find this arrow ...

Alla, in different browsers the arrows are in different places. I have an arrow in a semicircle on the left in the upper corner in the address bar. Click on it and the page is updated. Here, I tried to make a screen of the page. The red line points to this arrow

[Alla]

Alla, try pressing F5. It was only after that that I updated Lyudmila's avatar.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, I found a round arrow, only in the opera it is at the very top. So I also have Lyudochka updated, but I really liked the eyes ...

Alla, I just added a screen to my last message, look. An arrow is visible there. F5 can also be pressed.

Lyudochka is now updated, but I really liked the eyes ...

Allochka, thanks! I also liked the eyes, but some of them are too intrusive ... Never mind, I'll stay with a cup of tea ... On our topic ...

I found a round arrow, only in the opera it is at the very top.

Well, you already figured it out yourself ...

Girls! Here's the info for those who love the sweat method. From N. Monakhov's notes on tea production:

An important nuance is that if tea is left in the basket for a long time, it starts to "burn", so-called arbitrary fermentation occurs, and as a result, the tea becomes bitter and tasteless.

I agree with Monakhov. I, too, after the "sweating" tea is not very pleasant. And for many, he somehow went well ...

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, my tea sweats in a bag when defrosting, the first time it happened by accident. I defrosted a lot, but did not have time to process it right away.I checked it for flavor, shaken it, closed the bag tightly. All the teas turned out to be wonderful !!! I don’t know what it depends on, but I do everything with great love, waiting only for a positive result. Maybe it depends on the mood for the result?
