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

watches are not stored, but sold in such banks

So tall? Interesting packaging design ... Aaaaa! I realized! This is not a wristwatch!
In my past life I was shifted on the clock ... I bought myself once every six months without fail. I have about 15 watches. Now I don't need them ...

[Veronica]

I wanted to wait for the snow, but, apparently, it will fall out by the New Year, and the freezer is needed now.

Veronica, and I was ordered to make tea - my husband was in town and was stocked with meat. Took up the freezer to the eyeballs. Fortunately, the frost - I put my leaves on the veranda ...

So I also love it when there is a lot of meat and fish in the freezer. Therefore, it is necessary to dry ... And lay food, otherwise the husband after the operation will not be an assistant for two months, but he has not yet gone to bed, let him go shopping with me!

I have never drank so much tea in my life as I do now and never get drunk!

I also caught myself on this idea yesterday.

Girls throw a link to the leaven.

Natalia, there is an "eternal" leaven on the site. It is the fastest and easiest. I have been sitting on it for a long time, others have not taken root.

I went to look. Thank you.

Natalia, if you succeed in sourdough, then try on our website the recipe for Wheat-rye bread with sourdough "For Every Day". It is simple, and just all the leaven will go there, a little will remain for the next baking. And then you can count the amount of leaven to less.

Veronica, thanks. I found the leaven and wanted to ask a question about bread, but you already wrote, anticipating my question. That's what tea means! We read thoughts at a distance.

So tall? Interesting packaging design ... Aaaaa! I realized! This is not a wristwatch!

No, Lyudochka, these boxes are 8 cm high in total, there is still a lot of foam rubber, and the watch is wrist! Of course, it turned out to be not enough for me, today I will ask again.
I read about your leaven - for me this is aerobatics
Luda, of course I gave a link to our forum to my friend, while saying: read only here, this is enough, in other places they copy from each other, but there is little sense.

Lyudochka, did I dream or not that you recently baked a cupcake, but I can't find your recipe

[lappl1]

lappl1, Luda, I drink tea from Yang cups, who would have thought, porcelain, only white inside and the size of a bucket. Of them I drink coffee
The bread that you bake is very similar to sourdough bread, only sourdough without yeast at all - for me the decisive factor - or a quirk. I wanted to switch to your bread of long fermentation, when there was nowhere to attach the leaven, now the question of attachment has disappeared.

And in my summer at the dacha, yang ceramic orange, and in winter in Moscow, yin porcelain, beautiful, was brought from somewhere. And I drink coffee from a cup, as I understand it, intended for tea, brought from Japan, fine china. But for me it is just under the coffee, 160 ml.

I was stunned:
In Crimea, there are about 10 species and subspecies of this plant, including:
hairy fireweed (Epilobium hirsutum),
small-flowered fireweed (Epilobium parviflorum),
mountain fireweed (Epilobium montanum),
hairy fireweed (Epilibium villosum = E. hirsutum f. villosum),
fireweed similar (Epilobium consimile),
lanceolate fireweed (Epilobium lanceolatum),
tetrahedral fireweed (Epilobium tetragonum),
pink fireweed (Epilobium roseum).

[In Russia, it was believed that Koporye tea could prevent or cure 90% of all known diseases of that time.The remaining 10% were treated with other plants, honey, tar, mushrooms and roots. Koporye tea, drunk in the evening before bedtime, is able (like the willpower of Indian yogis) to slow down the pulse, lower blood pressure and lower the body temperature of a person. Such nocturnal "suspended animation" gives a chance to increase or extend the phase of active life of the organism, at least by a quarter of its average duration, which is not so little, you must agree ... At the beginning of the 20th century, the doctor Pyotr Aleksandrovich Badmaev (Zhamsaran) guessed about this, who devoted most of his scientific works to uncovering the secret of the healing power of Ivan tea. The last time Badmaev became a father was at the age of 100. In total, he lived 110 years, could have lived even more ... But the Petrograd prison did not allow him to do this.]

today I dug up a lot of interesting information for myself, maybe you will be interested

And I have yang ceramic orange in the summer at my dacha, and yin porcelain in Moscow in winter,

Oksana, Veronica, girls, well done! And I also drink mostly from Yang cups. True, the size is not the size of a bucket, it is also not small.

I dreamed or not that you recently baked a cupcake, but I can't find your recipe

Checkmark, no, I didn't dream. Hell. Only the recipe is not mine. Took here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=385485.0 There, on the second page at the end there is my report with a photo.
I recommend adding baking soda at the end and then not whisking for a long time. just mix well.

Galina Iv.SCARED? and you're still in your prime

[Lightly wither the collected young leaves in the shade, knead them thoroughly with your hands, rolling them in your palms, fill a 3-liter jar with them, as tightly as possible. Cover with a damp cloth and place in a dark place at room temperature for 36 hours. Then take out the fermented mass, loosen and dry at a temperature of about 95 - 110 degrees Celsius, in an electric or gas oven. Optionally, you can form a flat slab tea. For example round, like the Chinese "Puer".]

Here's one of the recipes:

Checkmark, you need to ask Lina and Veronica about these varieties. My recipe says about narrow-leaved fireweed. I read that it is from him that you need to make tea. And in Russia, too, they did only from him. The narrow-leaved fireweed has special properties and aroma that make it possible to make a drink unique in its properties.

36 hours? a little too much ??

Gal, this is our recipe. Deep fermentation tea is obtained. And the glass was taken because of neutrality.

[In some places in Russia, tiled tea was made in the form of a large layer, the size of a baking sheet for a Russian oven. This layer was somewhat reminiscent of modern chipboard, only black-brown in color (sometimes with a blue tint) .. At the bazaar, such tea was sold by weight, chopping off the desired piece from the layer - with an ax!]

Oksana, of course in her prime

36 hours? a little too much ??

You can ferment up to 2 - 3 days. Especially loose leaf tea. Only it will turn out to be less aromatic, but more tart and sour. I did 36 hours this year. Normal tea. But my favorite is 10 12 hours.

Lyudochek, and they write there that tea in plates can be stored for up to 10 years, and loose tea for up to 3 years ...

Luda, I would like to discuss the second method.
there they write that first 36-40 hours, then we mimic again and again for 6-8 hours ...
and if you do this through a meat grinder, and not with your hands (repeated twisting), then the taste will be weaker and the medicinal properties will be worse

In some places in Russia, tiled tea was made in the form of a large layer, the size of a baking sheet for a Russian oven.

this tea can be made to owners of Russian ovens. It's just that people didn't have ovens before, so they were on a baking sheet and dried.
And before drying, after fermentation, they put the leaves in a cast iron and simmered for several hours on the stove, then laid the stewed tea on a baking sheet and dried in a cooling Russian oven.
I wanted to try making tea in this way this year. She waited for the cool weather so that the stove could be lit. But remember what summer was like. So my experiment didn't take place this year.
There are baking trays and iron pans, as well as a Russian stove. If summer is right next year, I will definitely try this tea.

If summer is right next year, I will definitely try this tea.

it is possible in May, while the weather is cool and the leaves are young))

Lyudochka, have you noticed the difference between a meat grinder and a manual one ??

there they write that first 36-40 hours, then we mimic again and again for 6-8 hours ...

Galya, it will be something like red tea. I wrote about him in the summer. Oksana even tried to make it. In general, you need to wait for the abundance of fireweed and try.
Gal, on the previous page I threw you a link to a cupcake. Take a look.

have you noticed the difference between a meat grinder and a manual one ??

Of course I did. I like the grinder more. It turns out to be darker and stronger. Therefore, I basically do it. By the way, Anyuta is also of the same opinion (she has disappeared somewhere, has not written in the subject for a long time).

Yes, Lyudochka, I saw the link, ATP, I'll bake it today.
and how do you like Ivan-tea root bread?

I like the grinder more.

but they write the opposite, which I strongly doubted, although my ivan tea is all leafy)))

and if you do this through a meat grinder, and not with your hands (repeated twisting), then the taste will be weaker and the medicinal properties will be worse

I don't think the properties will be worse. From granulated tea, more substances come out into the infusion than from leaf tea. This is evidenced by the color of the brewed tea.

but they write the opposite, which I strongly doubted, although my ivan tea is all leafy)))

every man to his own taste. So some people like the taste of leaf more, others like granular. For this, in the recipe, I gave 2 methods of making tea. Everyone decides for himself what to do. Again, I personally like granular more.

🔗 and again about heather !!

I am addicted to granulated raspberries + strawberries
Luda, I'm sure that NOBODY has studied the question of the expiration date of tea. So 3 years for me personally is nothing.

and how do you like Ivan-tea root bread?

I also wrote about this in the summer. Mistletoe and I seem to have talked about him. I even wanted to dig up roots, but not for bread, but coffee. But after seeing how Mistletoe was tormented with chicory roots, she changed her mind. The roots of fireweed are thin, so it is unlikely that you can add flour to one bread from them. Moreover, in bread recipes, about 50 grams is taken for one loaf. flour from the roots of fireweed. So a pure experiment will not work. I am amazed at our ancestors how they got it to feed the whole family.
By the way, pillows were also made from the fluff of faded fireweed in Russia. I tried to collect at least a little. Pooh has hammered in everything that can be hammered - nose, eyes, mouth, ears ... So, I dropped the idea with pillows altogether.

Luda, I'm sure that NOBODY has studied the question of the expiration date of tea. So 3 years for me personally is nothing.

Galya, again in the summer I wrote, and more than once, that I came across information about tea made from fireweed 9 years ago. People found a lost jar of Ivan-tea. Taste and aroma were struck on the spot.
I drank 2-year-old Ivan tea. Cool! Better than annual, and even more so monthly. Therefore, I wrote that a lot of tea needs to be made in order for it to be stored for several years.
And about studying the expiration date ... So no one studies this tea at all, not to mention such an aspect as the shelf life. But our ancestors knew a lot about this tea and argued that the longer the tea is stored, the better. The main condition is the tightness of the container during storage.

🔗 nooo, well, it's something with something !!!!!!
girls, read everything in this section, I highly recommend! At the bottom click on the following pages 🔗

again in the summer I wrote, and even more than once, that I came across information about tea made from fireweed 9 years ago. People found a lost jar of Ivan-tea. Taste and aroma were struck on the spot.

Luda, so I remember that there was a find for gourmets)), and then they write garbage, why write, if you don't know .. that's what I mean!
But a birch bark washcloth and antifungal nail polish interested me.
And for our lovers of fly agarics - Tincture of red fly agaric is a healing power))

but it looks how delicious!

Galina, by and large, fireweed and ivan tea are plants belonging to different genera of the same family. Our Ivan tea is narrow-leaved, and there is also broadleaf. These two families were previously combined into one, as many of their members had similar medicinal properties. But the most pronounced is the narrow-leaved ivan tea. And all these properties are in one bottle, that is, a plant, if other fireweeds have one or two. I think that for the production of tea it is the amount of substances contained, for example, tannins, that plays a role.
In official pharmacognosy, narrow-leaved fireweed has long been considered a medicinal plant. Some others are also used, but in highly specialized and informal, and, by the way, not so long ago.
And Luda wrote about its healing properties at the very beginning. Our ancestors were not fools!

[paramed1]

paramed1, Veronichka, I was simply surprised at such a variety of species, subspecies of willow-herb. I know a lot about plants, I still remember a lot even in Latin from my student days, in this section it is also written about aspen. My dad somehow suffered from a heart and in the village he was advised to make an alcoholic tincture of aspen bark, he drank for a long time and since then does not even remember the problems, believe it or not.

Well, finally, there is someone to talk to in Latin! And I have forgotten the basics of something lately, but I remember the names of many plants. I remember well - Homos homini lupus est, the favorite saying of our teacher in toxicological chemistry ...

we remembered Latin like this: Kukushkin common flax, (Latin Polýtrichum commúne) - this meant half a liter per commune)))
aspen (Pоpulus trеmula) - fluttering in vain)

[in the box]

I read a small note in the magazine today. content (I write literally):
Currant and raspberry leaves are best harvested in August. After collecting them, they need to be scattered in a layer of 5 cm in the fresh air in the shade and kept for 24 hours. After that, the leaves need to be twisted between the palms until the juice comes out, put in the box , cover with a damp cloth and keep in a warm room for 6-10 hours. Then pour onto a baking sheet and dry for 40 minutes.
Interestingly, after such a description, many will make good tea ???

Good description! Wait, let's put together a box (maybe from populus), then dry it somewhere ... And why in August? Either before fruiting, or after ... Professor Preobrazhensky spoke correctly about newspapers (well, in general, you can say the same about the media).

in the YASCHYK and play in the same box ourselves)))), not having time to drink half a liter for the commune

From such a description, half a liter will not be enough ... People will try to do it, they will get what they get at the output, and then they will spit and scold good tea for their eyes (as we have!)
