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

I can't even advise here - the gardener of me is awful

Here I am the same.
And lemongrass does not grow in our village. We need to ask the seedling sellers. And then it was already salivating on him - so deliciously everything they write about him. Actually, many girls added lemongrass to tea. I remember exactly what Lina did.

This is the only mixture where I put the sea buckthorn. So, this tea has a strange taste, nowhere else.

So, sea buckthorn is not our case. Let's keep in mind. Thank you, Veronica, for this observation! And that often the girls asked about sea buckthorn in the summer. Now I will know what to answer. In general, someone else made sea buckthorn mixed with other scents. But I don't remember the result. It seems they did not write.

I'm thinking of starting a notebook and writing down winter plans, and implementing them in the spring and summer, otherwise how can I remember everything.

Nastya, this is the right decision! And then you won't remember what you wanted to do.

Girls, who made tea from linden leaves? I did 2 games. But I haven't drank yet. Now I'll try to brew it, I'll share my impressions later.

I shoved sea buckthorn into the village one, it’s a pity I didn’t try it, otherwise I would know what its taste is, but it’s not clear in the mixture, now it will be interesting to do it myself, the neighbors have 2 such decent trees.

sorry mono didn't try,

Flax, there are such small leaves! For mono tea you have to work hard. How do you like Village with sea buckthorn?

I have everything in that mixture: strawberries, raspberries, currants (red and black), mountain ash, sea buckthorn, black chokeberry, the last leaves of viburnum, gooseberries, in short everything that was, but I have not tried it yet, it turned out to be October, but now took out September 17, well, just PRELEST! So sea buckthorn doesn't even know what it tastes like.

Well, you can share your impressions with us later, okay?

[about linden]

Now I'll try to brew it, I'll share my impressions later.

I brewed it, drank it, share my impressions. After the summer opinion about linden hasn't changed at all. as it was not tasty, it remained. Brewed with flowers. The granules are very strong. Tea smells like a broom, like in a bath. But this is not the sauna smell that some girls complain about when they can't get their tea. The finished tea is a little cloudy, viscous (because of the flowers). The color is very light, despite the fact that the tea is granular. After a cup of tea, sweat broke through well. Conclusion: tea, as such, has the right to be - for medicinal purposes. But not as a delicious drink.

[Tricia]

Tricia, Nastya, this is in Schisandra, mainly in berries and bark. The leaves are less, especially in the garden. This is not a wild Far Eastern! And after fermentation and drying, the properties change. But all the same I will put it, otherwise in the village no one has.
Luda, I was completely sure that I wrote about fireweed in a fireweed theme! It's time to relax and start thinking. You should copy it, pliz, but I won't do that again!
About linden. I chewed the leaves in the summer, rubbed them, and realized that nothing super good for pleasure should come of it. And there is! But about medicinal purposes - in the summer I will try to mix flowers and leaves and ferment them together. Lindens in our village - judging by the girth, they definitely remember Catherine, our farm used to be called Catherine's, all the trees are already empty inside, but they are blooming - that's something!

You should copy it, pliz, but I won't do that again!

Veronica, don't worry, I have already copied it, as soon as you wrote. And there is nothing wrong with that. I still sit in all tea topics - it is not difficult to transfer written text from one topic to another. The main thing is that there is something to carry. Thank you for answering.
But my linden also did not pass the test in the summer. But Galya was very interested in her, but she has no linden, so I decided to do it. So, Gal, come take the linden. I'll give it all to you.

Not, probably, Galya doesn't want to either ... They are lime leaves, they just have to be none. Anyway, there are few trees-bushes around, or what! And if it is not enough, then we ourselves will plant what is not enough! Luda, let's plant lemongrass and actinidia. They are vines, it will be beautiful! And for business it will go, the berries are delicious and very healthy! Let's make jam, and with tea it! Waste-free production.

I remember that my sea buckthorn "batch test" did not pass. I didn't do it. Lemongrass passed the test, dried separately, for 40 minutes, added to the rest of the tea, when she lowered T to 50-60 * C. Okay, only I have the impression that the lemongrass mixture raises my pressure.

Not, probably, Galya doesn't want to either ...

Probably!

Luda, let's plant lemongrass and actinidia.

Veronica, we will definitely plant! here it is not long left.

I remember that my sea buckthorn "batch test" did not pass.

That's the same for me. Although there was an opportunity to collect sea buckthorn - the neighbors had 2 large bushes. but do not bear fruit. Strange, isn't it? By itself, sea buckthorn is such a wonderful berry ... Apparently, its leaves do not contain the tannins we need. you need to read the composition.

Lina, why wouldn't he pick it up? Easy. He is immunomodulating, tonic, etc., etc., but you know everything yourself. That is why it must be mixed with something else, little by little, then it will go. Did you mix it with other raw materials? Maybe it should be combined with something to lower the pressure, then everything will be regulated.
Luda, sea buckthorn is fermented normally, tannins are above the roof, but with a taste of incomprehensibility. And after all, she, an infection, is from the Lokhovye family. Everyone is happy with the sucker, but the sea buckthorn is not very ... But relatives! And the neighbors, probably, are growing up.

Yes, Veronica, you don't understand! Since there are tannins, there must be tea! Eh, we have so much of this sea buckthorn in the mountains in Kazakhstan! We made great syrup from it.
Here, my photo in November 5 years ago - a sea buckthorn bush in the mountains (the quality is not very good - it was cloudy)

[Ludmila]

In my Far East, varietal sea buckthorn grew, three female and one man (pollinated to all neighbors). I made butter, sea buckthorn syrup. Dried foliage with small twigs, brewed in winter. The drink turned out to be light yellow, the taste was pleasant, I liked it. The sea buckthorn leaf was like a sucker.
Ludmila, salt is contraindicated for me, it retained all the water in the body. It seems that I cook everything without salt, I began to bake bread without salt and the result immediately appeared.

salt is contraindicated for me, it retained all the water in the body.

Alla, I'm talking about the same thing. The book itself is very interesting. But I ignored the salt, leaving only water.

Alla, and our neighbors have 6 huge male sea buckthorns growing. There are no women. I have, on the contrary, one 4-year-old sea buckthorn and 5 pieces of two-year old from it by shoots. And men do not take root, no matter how I fight. The neighbors do not have female plants. The distance between our heterosexual sea buckthorns is 200 meters. But the pollen arrives, not very much, but still there. I don’t know how to grow my own pollinator ...
The shape of her leaves is like that of a sucker, yes, but the content, as it turns out, is different.

Girls, that's what I thought. You can try to make linden with difficult scents such as raspberries, currants and bird cherry.It tastes nothing, but the benefits are the sea. But it is easily twisted in a meat grinder, it is granulated classy - sticky (no wonder they call it lime). So it will not let other smells crumble. And there is a lot of material, it is easy to assemble. I'll have to try to do it.

Interestingly, will this actinidia grow in the north? Will it freeze? And the lemongrass is the same? I'll go and read it. Yes, we need to move from here, to where everything grows, where it is warmer (to my mother, for example)

Lena, these vines grow wild in the Far East. Actinidia kolomikta can withstand 45-degree frost. The plant is dioecious, that is, males and females. Curls counterclockwise along the support, while lemongrass is clockwise. But the fruits of lemongrass are good for harvesting, and actinidia can be consumed fresh. There is a variety with fruits that are pungent to taste. Actinidia is also called the Amur gooseberry. But it grows long before fruiting ... And Chinese actinidia is a kiwi.

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa, Schisandra grows well, does not freeze, a young plant is well covered, fruit is worse. I have been observing the fruits for three years and collecting their largest 2 glasses. Most likely, there is not enough heat to ripen the fruit. They do not seem to develop, dry and fall off (out of 10, 2-3 mature ripe fruit remain on the branch, and we also fertilize it with manure) In the summer of 2014 in the last days of July it was 9-12 degrees Celsius - even I don't like it, although I I can wear a fur coat.
Actinidia is more capricious, she read it grows in some, but here it is cold for her. It grows better in the Moscow belt.
lappl1, Lyudochka, sticky linden, does it stick to the meat grinder or to itself?

Lyudochka, linden-sticky, does it stick to the meat grinder or to itself?

No, Oksan, does not stick to the grinder. It turns very easily. True, I did this during the linden blossom. Maybe the later linden will be more capricious.

No, Oksan, in the Far East, in some places, the climate is even worse than that of St. Petersburg, it can be cooler and cooler, but lemongrass ripens there. And it hangs up to cold weather, if anything, it reaches the desired condition also indoors, after collection. It's not about temperature, it's about conditions. Something you don't suit him: either the soil or a place in the sun. I know for sure that you cannot disturb the root system of lemongrass, because of this it does not bloom and does not bear fruit.

Not, probably, Galya doesn't want to either ... They are lime leaves, they just have to be none.

how are you all quick-witted))))

In the Far East, it can grow and bear fruit even better. Because I tried the jam there with him. He also bears fruit, but I count poorly. The bush is large, the growth of shoots is more than a meter per season, it does not freeze out, but ALL fruits on the stalk do not ripen. Maybe the soil should be more alkaline or the summer is short-hot. It's like my family cherry grows - no figs do not ripen the fruits, flowered (no leaves to be seen), berries are also green, fall off at different stages of ripening. The soil is not suitable.
In the summer I will throw a photo of what lemongrass he has with and without berries.

[Loksa]

Loksa, Ha! dressed up so that I didn't recognize you right away, Ksyusha: girl_haha:
Cherries in our climate are not born not because of the soil, but due to the fact that during low temperatures during its flowering, all pollen dies

Well, who has snow, but how bastard I'm crazy, I'm walking down the street and looking for herbs (they turn green at our full height), and they stand around the tree, the lights are on

ATO! Look what a doll I am! It's a holiday, after all, NarYadilas! He is a ram and in Africa - a ram - I throw myself at everything red, I love red, scarlet, Cyclamen! And the ballerina on my Ave was for psychological purposes - Schaub did not relax! So the girls wrapped her up so, even the erotic ceased to work.
Check mark, how is it: if cherry pollen dies, where do the green cherries come from ?! Which they regularly poke under my nose when I am going to catapult this cherry. But now I'll leave her for tea. Lucky for her, Lyudochka saved her. And then he fools me for four years - he will give green cherries, then he will throw off

And the ballerina on my Ave was for psychological purposes - Schaub did not relax!

and I have 2 pieces, then I read about pollen)))

I wrote the message twice, I could not send it - there was no connection and everything went off, as if we live in the wilderness! I got angry a little.

[Oksana]

Oksanahow beautiful she has become! : rose: Thanks Galina Iv., otherwise I would not know that such changes are here. Only after the update do the avatars change.

[francevna]

francevna, Alla, I like yours very much too, reminds: "Visiting a fairy tale"

Oksan, well, you're a beauty! All! Don't change ava anymore! Well, if only after the holidays take off the mask.

It's still good to run home without legs, fall on a chair in the kitchen and ... Another observation happened. About irga, and, I think, equally about bird cherry. Mono teas are not bad, but not everyone likes them. But in rustic mixtures, if you add about 10 percent of the total mass, such an aroma comes out! They give almond notes that go well even with cherries without killing each other at all. Here!

They give almond notes that go well even with cherries.

How appetizing it sounds, so I wanted a cup of hot, scalding, aromatic tea!

[Oksan]

About irgu

I just brewed a mixture with irga. Its about 10%, not particularly felt. But the sucker is felt in 10%. And mint is felt in 5-7% too, but I love it and add more than 10%.

Oksan, cool avatar!

Lina, I definitely have a taste for Irga. There is nothing but her. Maybe the variety is different? I collected it during the ripening period of the berries. And I have mint separately and little. In the spring I will plant more, I also love her very much.

[Veronica]

Another observation happened.

VeronicaThanks a lot for watching! Exactly, you need to write everything down in a notebook, as Nastya says. Otherwise, all observations of the winter will be mixed up and forgotten. And I was not impressed by Mono Irga at all. although I also collected it during the fruiting period. So use it in the Village Boom. and bird cherry too.

Luda, I picked it during the ripening period, that is, the berries were still green at all. Found records, irgi in the village I have 15 percent.
And we don't have a sucker ...

[Veronica]

Veronica, and it is right. And then during the ripening period of the irgi, leaves that are not stained with sparrows are difficult to find.
And about 15% have already made a note. Thank you, Veronica!

Girls, in this topic, in addition to tea, other issues were raised, so let's talk about the upcoming holiday, I mean the New Year. Who will cook what. Let's exchange recipes.
It's painfully warm and cozy here. And I don't want to go to another Temko.

How appetizing it sounds, so I wanted a cup of hot, scalding, aromatic tea!

Anastasia, let's meet and treat you to my tea))

[mants]

Who will cook what. Let's exchange recipes.

Natasha, great idea.
I have not made the whole menu yet, but what I will have mants (with an emphasis on the first syllable. In Kazakhstan they say so) and Rahat cake - it is necessary. Manty for the new year is our family tradition. As long as I can remember, they have always been cooked. And instead of champagne - apple cider from Lina ... He's just right for the New Year. Thank you, Linochka, for the recipe. Manty recipes, I think, does not make sense to spread. I prepare the dough in HP according to the recipe from it. Minced meat - necessarily pork is not very fatty with a lot of onions (about 1: 1). If the dough remains, then I make manti from raw potatoes and onions. Oddly enough, it is these manti with potatoes that fly off almost the first. And the recipe cake "Rakhat" we have it at the Bread Maker. I even unsubscribed there and posted a photo of my cake. There are some nuances in mine that distinguish my "Rakhat" from the author's. if anyone decides on this cake, I will gladly share them. In fact, a very light cake, literally and figuratively. I would like to note that even the guests who are overwhelmed with manti eat "Rakhat" almost instantly. This cake is very convenient because the cakes can be baked for it in advance, 5 days in advance, and the cake can be assembled the day before, December 30.
Well, I haven't thought about salads yet. But there will be light, vegetable ones. And my husband will not understand me if there is no "Olivier". I never eat it - not on New Year's, or on other holidays. And my husband is very fond of. So Olivier will be on the table too.

Ha! Where are we without Olivier?))

[Gingerbread cookies with burnt sugar]

This is yes! Olivier for the New Year is sacred!
And there will also be mine Gingerbread cookies with burnt sugar ... They can generally be baked a week or two before the holiday. But in the New Year itself, gingerbread does not go well. But on January 1st and then - very good.

And we will probably have dumplings. Jellied meat and herring under a fur coat are a must.

Lyudmila, you bake such delicious gingerbread. You look at the photo and you want to, but there is no time.
