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

straight ditty

By the N year we need to announce a competition for the best ditty about our tea)

Will this one go, collected at this time?

Lyuda, it will do. Red clover (flowers) is the main part of the drug for cholesterol "Atheroclefit". I think the leaves are okay too. Our Ivanushka, blackthorn and raspberry teas also reduce cholesterol. Herbal medicine for lowering cholesterol - tansy (flowers), dandelion (roots), celandine, milk thistle (thistle), birch (leaves), cinquefoil, viburnum (fruits and leaves), burdock (roots), St. John's wort. Garlic is excellent at lowering cholesterol.

How to cook garlic? How are the herbs? (Joking)

Luda, will do

Linochka, thanks! So we will drink clover, Ivanushka, raspberries and seize with garlic.

By the N year we need to announce a competition for the best ditty about our tea)

I will be in last place, since I do not write poetry ... And Checkmark is in the first place - composing on the fly ...

Oh, this Checkmark! Full of hidden talents, reveals them a little bit, but can you imagine if all at once? Such a fountain of talents unfolding for all! Pretty woman!

Lyudmila, dear Lyudmila,
What a wonderful world you opened for us!
She inspired by her example,
And she gave a lot of knowledge,
That everyone can make tea!

Checkmark, I support your call. Today was born about the mistress of the topic.

And in our wonderful, wonderful tea
Raspberries, spurge will go.
A little linden, burdock,
Fantasies - there is no end to them!

Blame it all Lyudmila here-
If you don't want to, the meadows are your name.
Yes, not her fault, her merit!
Where are you from, Luda, where are you from,

You fell down to us straight from heaven,
That we are all possessed by a demon).
From morning till night we are ready
At least every day to demolish all the legs!

To make 100 grams of tea.
Health, improving strength.
And what don't my friend tell me-
Ludmila in the belt, to the ground,
Lyudmila, thank you!

[Vikulya]

Vikulya , Check mark , while I was baking gingerbread, you dedicate such odes to me here! They just embarrassed me! Thank you, dear friends ! I am very, very pleased! Without you, I would not have gone so deep into the topic of tea. You inspire me. I am very grateful to all of you.

we also want gingerbread ...

so becky, Checkmark! My gingerbread cookies, burnt sugar. Look at the recipe profile.

Girls, help yourself! True, I haven't completely covered it with glaze:

[how to get real pleasure from tea drinking]

Girls, let's summarize. Let me remind you that we examined the issues of choosing water for tea and brewing. And now about how to get real pleasure from tea drinking... Denis Shumakov from the "tea site" gives the following tips:

Now, if you want to enjoy drinking tea, there are nine very important rules to follow... Only if all these rules are fulfilled, you can pay attention to such nuances as warming up teapots, covering them with a napkin, etc. I am pleased to present these nine rules to your judgment.
1. Real pleasure from drinking tea can be obtained only when there is several of its varietiesand you have a lot to choose from.
2. Water must be water... This is commonplace, but with the proliferation of water pipes (with chlorines and other Mendeleev's elements), it is sometimes difficult to obtain a colorless and odorless liquid. Use filters, buy water, look for good soft water springs, don't use kettles with a lot of scale.
3. Water should not boil over... It is not at all necessary to catch the "white key" (the state into which the water comes several tens of seconds before boiling).Let the kettle boil normally - but it doesn't need to boil for twenty minutes. And there is no need to boil water a second time.
4. The teapot should be porcelain, earthenware or glass... And shouldn't smell anything. And, of course, he should not add any foreign tastes to the tea, as is often the case with metal teapots or teapots with plastic parts.
5. It is better to drink tea from a cup, not from a mug.... The cup, if possible, should be thin-walled. The cup is wider than it is high. And the mug is the opposite. Leave the glasses for trains and misinformed retrogrades.
6. If you add something to tea (sugar, milk, lemon, alcoholic drinks), it is better to make it stronger. If you are interested in the taste of the tea itself, don't make it particularly strong.
7. Wait for the tea to cool down a little... There is no need to burn yourself with a noble drink - for this, ordinary boiling water will do.
8. No "cuts"! Don't be lazy to brew fresh tea both for yourself and for guests.
9. Don't focus on tea while drinking tea... Get distracted. Talk, read, listen to music, seduce women (men) - that's when the tea will be the most delicious.
It's very simple, in fact. Of course, the simultaneous observance of all the listed rules will require a certain skill from you - but any real pleasure requires some preparation.
And further. Nowadays - the time of tea fashion - we are surrounded by a large number of tea accessories. Looking at them in a specialty store, you might think that in terms of the complexity and the number of tools used, making tea significantly surpasses actions such as removing an appendix or robbing a bank.
Yixing clay, sugar on sticks, tea eggs and tea socks, cups with a mustache holder, tea thermometers - and so on, so on, so on. However, all this is tinsel. The influence of different entities on the quality of tea drinking can, perhaps, be expressed as a percentage. And I will do it now. Only first I'll tell you one parable.
Winter. Frost. I'm ten years old. My father and I are fishing on the ice of Lake Pskov - not far from Estonia. My father is an avid fisherman; he makes almost all the tackle - fishing rods, jigs, spinners - himself, with love, patience and fair skill. And he is very proud of these gears.
We just got together to change the holes again, reel in our fishing rods - and then an old Estonian man comes up to us. For a long time, with interest and respect he examines the tackle, and then says (in a charmingly leisurely Estonian manner): "Taaa ... Good tackle ..." Then - a pause, during which the father's face brightens up - it's nice. And the old man continues: "All this is just nonsense ..." Father instantly roused himself: "How nonsense, what nonsense !?" And then the old man gave out a phrase that, as you understand, I have not forgotten until now:
"That tackle is nonsense ... If there is a fish, it can be used with fosmet pliers too ..."
The curtain.
So that's it. There are two things when making tea, the quality of which is as important as the rest of the surroundings, as the availability of fish is more important than the quality of the gear.
It's good tea and good water... If you have good tea and good water, you can only spoil the drink on purpose. Adding kerosene to it, brewing it for three days or using disgusting odorous dishes. The many tips that any article on tea abound in (stirring, pouring, pouring two thirds, warming up, covering, etc.) is grinding. Which can greatly improve the taste of good tea. But it won't make you, you know, what - candy.
So. Most important: good tea and good water... They provide 80 percent of successful tea drinking. This is followed by mood, company and conversation - 10 percent. Then comes the skill and the hanging tongue of the one who brews the tea - 5 percent. Another three percent is provided by a snack for tea and another two - by the dishes in which tea is brewed and from which tea is drunk.
Of course, all these percentages are very conditional. A teapot with a plastic lid that has absorbed the scent of "Fairy" will spoil any tea drinking. But we will not take such extreme situations into account.
I want to draw a somewhat illogical conclusion from all of the above. It makes no sense to buy an expensive teapot of Yixing clay and hope that it will magically change the taste of bad tea.
Will not change.

lappl1, Lyudochka, can you also be fast? While the girls were composing, I also baked bread and casseroles. I can't hide - hide the photo, Please.
Luda, you have my favorite tea color in your photo!

[Oksana]

Oksana, what kind of beauty is this? Bread? What did you bake it in? I have never seen anything like this !!!!! Don't hide anything! Let everyone admire!
And the photo is not mine - it was stolen from the Internet. I also like this color. Our apple tree gives such a color.

This is me playing with a new form. As they turned it over, everyone gasped, poured tea, almost cooled down, everyone was dancing near this bird. This is the bread of lace mistletoe, and I've always done it well.

Nice bird! I have never seen such a form. And I haven't baked this bread yet. I'll go to the Mistletoe and see. I just need to bake bread tomorrow.
Thank you, Oksan, for the beauty and guidance.

[lappl1]

lappl1You, I understand, do not know what kind of passions are created here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=398294.0

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, Thanks for the link . I sometimes see this topic in "New Messages", but I don’t go so as not to get upset. Now I went, read the first page ... Eh ... I did the right thing that I didn't go in ... I'll go read it again ... And then I won't sleep ... I will dream ...

Yes, the topic is popular. Especially in light of the upcoming holidays and the past "Black Friday" (well, why the hell are we adopting all the customs in a row)

And in my village no "Black Fridays" are scary to me. We do not have shops, only a car shop arrives on Mondays. So I use the forms that I bought a long time ago. In principle, enough. But the topic captured ... I'll read it, whine, but I'll bake in my forms again ...

What gingerbread Lyudmila has! I just can't get such a beautiful pinch

[natushka]

natushkathanks for the praise! In fact, this is a matter of training. You can leave a piece of any dough (not yeast) and try to twist the pigtails. My grandmother taught me as a child, so they curl around me without looking.

Lyudmila, don't worry that there are no forms! A quote from you above the stated: "That tackle is nonsense ... If there is fish, it can be used with fosmet pliers too ..." The main thing is that the bread is tasty, baked regularly and eaten just as regularly and with appetite.

[Veronica]

Veronica, that's for sure! What pies, gingerbread and cookies our grandmothers baked without any molds at all. It was impossible to pull by the ears. So, following that parable, the main thing is good dough and oven. In my baby I bake any bread in the form of loaves, because the tin rests on the roof. So it turns out the same!

So I am about that! Everything works out! I remember well baking bread for a week in a Moldavian village, in the usual round forms, which were inherited from the older generation to the younger, in the oven. Until now, the smell and taste of bread with aromatic sunflower oil and dill is not forgotten, it was considered festive. It is something!

And I am not so stable, I got myself some fintiflyushek. I love bread in the form of a brick and bake, but then "I found a scythe on a stone." I also bake round bread, in aluminum I like crusts more and in a bread maker delicious crusts. We generally have a fight over bread crusts, and I eat up the crumb. I'm surprised at myself, I fell into childhood!

[Veronica]

I remember well baking bread for a week in a Moldavian village, in the usual round forms

Veronicaand I remember how my grandmother baked bread. She had a stove in the yard. I regret that in my youth I did not delve into the process. Her experience would be very useful now. But I also have one form for round bread. but while it is idle, it is waiting for a more spacious oven.

[Oksana]

And I am not so stable, I got myself some fintiflyushek.

Oksana, do not worry! You're not the only one. My distance from the city keeps me from all sorts of tricks. I don’t go shopping - everything is my husband. And he doesn't need it.Only if I order, then will buy something.
And I also love the crusts the most. I get them. Indeed, in KhP, cool crusts are always obtained - crispy, thin, tasty. And if the bread softens, then I heat it in the toaster. Crusts and come back.

from the crusts they say that the chest grows)))
everything is not enough for them

I don't know about the chest, but the butt is definitely growing ...

[tea studies courses]

Girls, I continue to wool the Internet in search of interesting information about tea. Met information on one website of a tea trading company that they are doing tea studies courses... Learn to understand tea, tea ceremonies, how to choose utensils for tea. I was struck by the cost of the courses. There are three stages of training:

The cost of the course for group lessons:

1st stage: 10,500 rubles.

2nd stage: 22,000 rubles.

3rd stage: from 27,500 to 39,500 rubles. depending on the chosen specialization.

With an individual mode of training - double tariff.

Not weak, right? I wonder if they have listeners?

So I am about that! Everything works out! I remember well baking bread for a week in a Moldavian village, in the usual round forms, which were inherited from the older generation to the younger, in the oven. Until now, the smell and taste of bread with aromatic sunflower oil and dill is not forgotten, it was considered festive. It is something!

And in the ukraine in the Bulgarian villages the same was baked. And also with red pepper. MMMMMMMMMMMMM forgotten taste of childhood.

I don't know about the chest, but the butt is definitely growing ...

And in the ukraine in the Bulgarian villages the same was baked.

Yes, in the villages they knew how to bake bread ...

So I didn’t remember when I was young ... And now I tried to repeat it - it’s not that, the dough is not like that ... And I do remember that there was nothing complicated, but it’s not working on you.

Not weak, right? I wonder if they have listeners?

Lyudochka, there would be no demand, there would be no supply) These are professional courses, they will give out the bamazh

[lappl1]

lappl1, There is a position in a Turkish company: "Chaiji" - sounds in Russian. This is an office worker, The duties include making and serving tea. A Courses can be for employees of cafes or clubs-restaurants: girl-yes:
My grandmother baked round bread, in an oven without a mold, and always proudly declared that she did not crack, I am in the oven and mine crack

My grandmother baked round bread in an oven without a mold, and always proudly declared that she did not crack,

So, grandmother did everything right (who would doubt it) - fermentation of the dough, and proofing ... And here, how many times do you do, but all the time you get different bread. Apparently, our grandmothers knew the magic word. But seriously, without knowledge of theory, you can hardly bake perfect bread. And our tea too ...

The speed at which the next can of tea ends is approaching the speed of light. Husband CATEGORALLY forbade anyone to distribute tea. I feel that next season I will definitely be engaged in tea, and in my free time with a vegetable garden, mushrooms and everything else. Fireweed leaves the fastest.

Oksana, it's true, I don't remember a single cracked bread from my rural relatives from childhood, all bread is sheer beauty. Maybe it also depends on the oven. The air circulation in the oven is not correct. And the ingredients of bread can be different in quality now. Earlier, after all, they ground the flour themselves and squeezed sunflower oil ...

I feel that next season I will definitely be engaged in tea, and in my free time with a vegetable garden, mushrooms and everything else.

That's how it was for me this season - falling asleep, I planned my upcoming day. And in the first place I had tea - what, how, how much, when ... And then everything else.

The speed at which the next can of tea ends is approaching the speed of light.

Yes, tea is consumed quickly. But I have stocked up well this season, so I don’t worry too much. So, girls, calculate your strength and the amount of tea you need for a year. I wrote in the topic that at least 10 kg should be done.Then everyone should have enough.

And I remember in one remote village in the Smolensk province the best gift was a herring in a large round tin can (remember this blue one?). This jar was then thoroughly washed, rubbed with lard and flour (such as a non-stick coating) and baked in it amazing delicious bread in the oven. This bank definitely served for a year, and maybe more.
And my tea stocks decreased by 3/4, so what am I going to do now! I'll go out of grief .... I'll brew tea with mint, calm down.

Earlier, after all, they ground the flour themselves and squeezed sunflower oil ...

Drive to New Jerusalem - look there in the museum as "yourself"
Such a unit is a mill!

And my tea supplies have decreased by 3/4, so what am I going to do now?

Lina, you seem to have made a lot of tea. Have you already drunk almost everything? Yes ... Then you need to make 20 kilograms of tea next year. This is real. You yourself know ...

Drive to New Jerusalem - look there in the museum as "yourself"

In theory I can imagine. I think that I would hardly grind practically, since I am not ready to grow grain. I had enough mustard. The first year I collected a bucket of mustard. The labor costs were OGO-GO, but the result ... The equipment is needed for growing grain. Easier to buy. We have our own flour mill in the city. Cool flour. And cheap - 2 times cheaper than the average price in the store. I use it everywhere.

[lappl1]

lappl1, we were delighted with the mill! This is something extraordinary! This explains why it was believed that the miller was in cahoots with evil spirits.

Tatyana, I know perfectly well and saw how flour was ground. Of course, not with millstones in the yard, but at the mill, but the mill was small, rural. And the oil was squeezed out not by hand, but on the so-called churn. And we have been to New Jerusalem, we are Muscovites, after all ... And in the usual, by the way, too, more than once. Here we are going again.

Luda, hurray !!! Page number 300! Why won't the hundredth vote ?! How great it would be! Anyway, we are so active! And we will be even more active. Necessarily!
