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

I will definitely boil my tongue and ready to dry-cured carbonate, well, salads, there is no time to cook a lot and there is no one for anyone, it looks like we are meeting NG three together, purely at home and family)

it looks like we are meeting NG three together, purely at home and family)

Checkmark, so NG is a family holiday! So you meet correctly. We also meet together with my husband, but then relatives drive up to us. We continue with them.

herring under a fur coat is a must

Natasha, this is also our favorite dish. especially the son loves herring under a fur coat. We always cook when he arrives. Maybe we'll cook for this NG.

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

Natasha, thank you! So gingerbread can be baked in advance - 2 weeks. If the oven is large, then you can cook it in 1 hour.

Girls, I never boil vegetables in a pot of water for vinaigrette and herring under a fur coat. The taste of these vegetables is not very good. All the most useful and tasty goes into the water. The vegetables themselves are watery. And I always do it in the microwave - I put it in a bag (each vegetables separately), pour water (50 grams) and cook at full power for 10-15 minutes. Such delicious vegetables are obtained! Salads and vinaigrettes with such vegetables are much tastier than with boiled ones. Guests are always surprised. Always praise, ask for a recipe. What's the recipe? Standard. When I say - they don't believe, they themselves prepare for this. But when they hear about vegetables cooked in the microwave, they are even more surprised. For some reason, few people cook vegetables like this. But very quickly. Especially beets. Well, how can you boil beets in 15 minutes in water? I tried to cook both in a steam and in a pressure cooker. But it's not that ...

and I make cuts on the same potatoes and generally cook in the microwave without water)), medium-sized potatoes are cooked for 8 minutes

[Galina]

Quote: Tricia from Yesterday at 21:20
How appetizing it sounds, so I wanted a cup of hot, scalding, aromatic tea!
Anastasia, let's meet and treat you to my tea))

Galina!
I'm incredibly pleased, but so uncomfortable ... As if she asked for it right ...
And it is very, very interesting to try at least some homemade fermented tea! Therefore, who in their right mind would refuse such an interesting gift!

write in a personal about the meeting, and I will be very pleased))
No, no, I didn't ask for it, but just wrote a letter to Santa Claus, and he is obliged to fulfill any desire).

and I make cuts on the same potatoes and generally cook in the microwave without water)),

I pierce the beets and cut off the tail. I tried to cook without water, but I like it better with a drop of water. The vegetables are full.

I'm incredibly pleased, but so uncomfortable ... As if she asked for it right ...

Nastya, Checkmark we have a wide nature - all of Russia and neighboring countries are calling to her. and all the girls in tea topics are like that. They will send a tea from a pure heart, do not even hesitate.

[Already 104]

Girls, our ranks continue to grow - little tea parties are voting. Already 104! The beauty !

Checkmark we have a broad nature

so this .... well .... how else ??? Yesterday I again savored Ivan-tea, I have it tart, I would never be able to distinguish it from the elite Chinese made from tea leaves))
Lyudochka, yes, I dry it in a frying pan, but in a SPECIAL way.I dry for probably half an hour and leave only for 2-3 minutes, and so I immediately start stirring it up with my hands and continue all the time while it dries! I was burned at first, and then I adapted, I constantly break the washers and got so used to this process that I think I feel him, he is alive)))

And I always do it in the microwave

And while I bake chicken or fish, I put potatoes, beets, carrots, onions in foil on the wire rack. So I cool it down. Then in herring or other salads. I really like the baked spirit.
This year we are going to NG to our parents in Moscow. region Mom, in an ultimatum, said that she would do Olivier, no matter what we thought about this! Moreover, you can make your own ham and beat mayonnaise without eggs (in milk) in 2 minutes. And we love this salad - the taste of childhood, after all!

And yet, the main course seems to be - elk with prunes and gingerbread. It was dad who went hunting successfully.
For my part, I try to come up with light salads and desserts. We'll probably make one of the salads with cheese, pear, nuts, iceberg lettuce. Another one with pickled salmon, mango and celery, we will arrange in portions in bowls. Marinated chicken breasts, I'll hang them to dry on chicken balyk. Maybe I will still have time to make a dried sausage (if you stuff it into the intestines thinner, then it will have time to dry, probably). And for dessert, a delicate cake made of white biscuit, sour cream custard and compote peaches in a layer. And Katazhinka gingerbread according to Nagira's recipe. It's mine, how much more to do!

[Tricia]

Tricia, Nastya, where do you buy intestines?

[Galin]

Galin, to me you can. I do not feel myself for you by age, but in appearance, so in general (almost mistaken for a schoolgirl, sorry hospadi).
I found Chereva in Ashan in the section of semi-finished products in small vacuum yellow-green bags. I also saw Lights, Blue orange (she organized the purchase of nitrite for us) at Sennaya.

[Tricia]

Tricia, Nastya, thank you, but Auchan is not in my hands .. although, maybe we will get out to MEGA during the holidays

yes, I dry it in a frying pan, but in a SPECIAL way.

Checkmark, then you make the most correct of us. The Chinese dry it just like that - on fire and by hand. They say that this is the only way to feel tea.

[Nastya]

Nastyahow delicious I wrote everything! I just had lunch, but I still drool!

Lyudochka, where did you get this picture ??? So this is me on it

There are friends-spies in St. Petersburg! While you are counting money for the benefit of other people's uncles, they lured away from your grandfather ...

Well, finally, they are already here about the New Year with might and main ... And I, poor, roll around with a severe cold, throat, nose, cough. Yesterday I was waiting for the bus for 40 minutes. I waited ... I crawled in the morning on autopilot to my husband in the hospital, already smart, I took a taxi, now I'm lying down trying to be treated by the express method. And I praise myself for making the raspberry mono-tea. It goes well for colds! Wait, we'll take a cup again.
And for this New Year, I don't even know if I will cook something new, I always try, but now I have no desire. We meet together, we won't even be able to go to the relatives to congratulate, and the husband told everyone that we will receive guests only when he can look decent, and not hug crutches. But jellied meat, "fur coat" and pies - even die, but cook it! Well, and for myself, my beloved, something sweet, and we don't count calories.

what kind of money? entrusted the current to throw firewood))

[paramed1]

paramed1, Veronichka, well, give me something! I bring you northern honey! URGENT order to get well!

Galya and I with our hands, but in the airfryer, and often. You feel the tea well with your hands, it is immediately clear when it is ready. In general, I always talk with everything that I cook - both with machines and with food. The pets are used to it, but still sometimes they get scared ... And with the beds, and with the seeds, and when everything rises, I also talk and stroke all the plants with my hands. But the neighbors in the country will not get used to this in any way ...

And while I bake chicken or fish, I put potatoes, beets, carrots, onions in foil on the wire rack. So I cool it down.Then in herring or other salads. I really like the baked spirit.

Nastya, I did that once too. But I have a mini oven, you can't really bake in it. Although now I have a Russian stove, but I have never cooked in it - I'm afraid. And in the student dorm, we ruined all the ceilings in the kitchen with baked beets. For some reason, they were all amateurs, every day someone baked. Then no repairs could make the ceiling white. Therefore, already in my home, I did not risk the ceiling in the kitchen.

[Galin]

Galin, I will go to Auchan this weekend, if I find it, I'll take it for you! And we will exchange them for tea. How many meters should you take? 5.10? There were 5 m packages.

What a photo! This is the scope of drying! And tea, probably, with a smoke, like lapsang sushong, which is dried over the smoke from pine branches. And what kind of leaves to dry there?
Although, my husband and I have calculated how much tea we drink per year ... we drink at least one large-leaf Mabrok 3 kg. And other mixtures and herbs. So in the photo - our size of blanks!

[paramed1]

paramed1, oh yes you (you seem to be allowed) you, you are on the board YOURS, OUR man !! Talking to the streamers

Galya, the sun, thanks! I've already eaten honey, but I won't refuse the northern one! And we agreed not to pump out a hundred years ago! It is clear, New Year is coming soon, the memory is not directed at that ...
And it's great to go out to the garden in the morning, walk through it, stroke everyone, and there is always someone to talk to!

And we'll trade them for tea

I would be just happy to become the owner of at least 5 m for a start, NOOOO !!!! It will not be as an exchange, buy it for me on the condition that I give the money, otherwise I WILL NOT TAKE it EXACTLY !!! I didn't pay money for tea and it will be a GIFT !!! There is only my soul in tea, but it is priceless

It's great to go out to the garden in the morning

in the morning I can't do it, I wake up late, on the weekend I want to sleep off at the dacha, but I lull them to sleep at night

[Veronica]

Veronica, a cold is not sports, hold on! Well, the raspberry gull will quickly remove all the ailments from you! Get well soon .

Ludmila, but how can beets reach the ceiling? She's in the foil ... but I was on my guard. I went to the ceiling and looked - while everything is white. But he who is forewarned is armed.
And I also have an oblong form for baking bread, I also bake vegetables in the skin in it, I also cover it with foil on top.

We also love making chocolate fondue for New Year's. We heat the chocolate, mix with the cream, pour it into a preheated mold, under which there is a candle and, with the help of dessert forks, dip pieces of fruit or a biscuit into the chocolate. Cheap and tasty! You can also drink some liquor.

And I say the same with flowers, especially forest ones. I ask their permission to rip it off, then I say thank you. True, in a whisper. Although no one will hear me anyway - the neighbors are far away, and in the forest-fields there is no one but me and the wild boars ...

Veronica, I support the public! Get well soon . Add ivan tea to the raspberries. He is good for colds. In any case, it helps me.

how can beets reach the ceiling? She's in the foil ... but I was on my guard. I went to the ceiling and looked - while everything is white. But he who is forewarned is armed.

Nastya, where did the Soviet students get the foil from? And then with a young family, when the salary was not paid for months. We baked it just like that, without foil. Tastier than microwave oven - that's for sure!

And I say the same with flowers, especially forest ones. I ask their permission to rip it off, then I say thank you. True, in a whisper. Although no one will hear me anyway - the neighbors are far away, and in the forest-fields there is no one but me and the wild boars ...

At some point, I began to ask permission. And I can say that there is a feeling that the benefits of herbs collected in this way are greater.

It will not be as an exchange, buy it to me on the condition that I give the money, otherwise I WILL NOT TAKE it EXACTLY !!! I didn't pay money for tea and it will be a GIFT !!! There is only my soul in tea, but it is priceless

Well, since such a dance has already started, you must first find the womb. And as I find and buy, we will decide what's what! This weekend I will write whether it worked out or not, and then on the second round of negotiations.

Nastya, where did the Soviet students get the foil from?

We have people in foil from Indian tea sometimes baked

There is only my soul in tea, but it is priceless

Check mark! You are a poet ! Well, everyone is already convinced of this. And our tea will not work without a soul! I think that we all have such - sincere!

We have people in foil from Indian tea sometimes baked

And we, brazen students, did not stand on ceremony with state property. And they certainly did not drink so much tea. baked almost every other day - they loved beets very much.

At some point, I began to ask permission. And I can say that there is a feeling that the benefits of herbs collected in this way are greater.

I also have this feeling.

This weekend I will write whether it worked out or not, and then on the second round of negotiations

Nastyush, you to me do not drive the fool do not speak your teeth about the second round of negotiations, the number will not work
here's the current recipe from you

We also love making chocolate fondue for New Year's. We heat the chocolate, mix with the cream, pour it into a preheated mold, under which there is a candle and, with the help of dessert forks, dip pieces of fruit or a biscuit into the chocolate. Cheap and tasty! You can also drink some liquor.

Nastya, thanks for the recipe! Took a note! And what are the proportions of chocolate: cream?

Girls, about the conversations. In the past, herbalists followed many conditions and rules when collecting plants. For example, it is better for them to be collected either by a girl, or by an old woman, that is, in the post-period. The phases of the moon, the time of day, the state of the body were taken into account ... And conversations, and sometimes prayers, were obligatory. And they spoke with different plants in different ways, distinguishing between females and males. So our talking shop with a vegetable garden is echoes from far away, in the genes it is.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, I have not yet split and have not given all the secrets to you, and you already thank.
So I inject. It all depends, of course, on your preferences. I will write about my experiments, and you really choose what you like.
I'll make a reservation right away that I perceive chocolates by a combination of sweetness, bitterness, sourness, and straw. There are some products that make me sour incredibly, I don't like such chocolate at all.
The principle of cooking is always the same - heat it up in a water bath, stir in the liquid ingredients, mix well until smooth (gently knead with a whisk).
Consistency - adjust yourself as you like it. My husband, a basic fondue lover, likes it thicker, so that the chocolate droplet does not drip from the piece of fruit, but slowly slides off. Slightly thinner than the consistency of thick sour cream. Sister, on the other hand, prefers thinner during diet periods so that not so much is eaten.
Fondue,
chocolate base, Option 1: Russian chocolate, Special chocolate (55% cocoa, excellent combination of sweetness, bitterness, sourness, straw) 1 bar,
option 2: dark chocolate (72% cocoa, obvious bitterness)
Option 3: milk chocolate (we did this once, when melted it began to resemble disgusting sweet soap ... we no longer risk it).
fillers:
1. cream 10% (you can have any fat content that your health allows) or milk or juice (I don't like it, because it sour) I start with 2 tbsp. l. and according to the mood, further
2. cognac, liqueurs (Baileys), Mint (mint Finnish vodka), orange liqueur, etc. 1 tsp.
spices and seasonings:
salt (to set off the taste of chocolate and not clog its taste with sugar, but these are my troubles).
cinnamon, cardamom with Antonovka skins ground into dust - generally a bomb !, nutmeg, dust from orange, tangerine zest, and sometimes a hot red pepper - a drop.
There are two rules: do not weld chocolate at the very beginning, so as not to crumple, and then - no rules - flight of imagination.

My favorite option: Russian Chocolate, 3-5 tbsp. l. cream 10%, salt.

How to serve: before serving in a fondyushnitsa on the table, it is necessary to warm up the bowl / mold itself well. I have a ceramic one, so I just heat the water in the microwave until it boils, boil it for 1 minute, pour out the water, dry the bottom, pour the finished chocolate and immediately onto the table on a stand with a lit candle.
Our fondyushnitsa is the simplest for 300 rubles. heart-shaped + 4 forks.
From fruit to fondue, my husband prefers bananas, but it's too cloying for me, I take sour crunchy apples. You can kish-mish, but again it's too sweet for me. And here are the pineapples in its own juice like me and my husband. We tried it with strawberries ... if with your own summer, then yes - excellent and aromatic. If with a soapy winter purchase - not that. You can also use a sponge cake drizzled with cognac - it's also delicious. The size of the fruit cut depends on the forks. By the way, they say that, according to the rules of good taste, it is undesirable for the fruit to slide from the fork into the common bowl. Therefore, I try to cut into convenient pieces so that it is handy to stick a fork into them.

And at the end of my composition: this dessert action is a separate meal, and not a continuation of a large feast, since it comes out quite satisfying.

Hope you find our fond experience useful!

so that either a girl or an old woman can collect them

almost about us, behind a pioneer, in front of a pensioner)))

has not split yet and has not given out all the secrets to you, and you already thank

Nastenka, gratitude alone is not enough for such a recipe and experience! Thank you so much . I revealed such subtleties! I have never made fondue. Now, with such a description, you can do it with your eyes closed. True, I do not have a fondyushnitsa, but I do not think that this is an obstacle. There are enough dishes for chocolate, we will find a candle. The main thing is to eat chocolate, my favorite "Kazakhstanskiy" is the best chocolate of all that I ate (and I ate quite a lot). And the brandy is also Kazakh - "Asanali" - the coolest of the brandies. My son brought both cognac and chocolate in September. There are still three tiles left. Since we love sweets, bananas and biscuits will be used. And there are also skins from Antonovka - made for tea in the fall. And there are other spices. In general, I'm already looking forward to it. And I love the fact that this is not just a dessert, but a separate ceremony. When you don’t want to come to the table, because you’re full of everything, such sweet fun is what you need.
Thank you, Nastenka, once again! Already copied to my computer. I will embody!

True, I do not have a fondyushnitsa, but I do not think that this is an obstacle.

I have already seen how to make a fondue dish with my own hands. The husband said that it was not a problem for him. So let's indulge in delicious!

[paramed1]

paramed1, Veronica struck down, well, where can I find an old woman? I AM A CANNED GIRL, but some may dispute the title. So quickly fill the lingonberries with hot water and drink, you can have a viburnum, this year I again recovered from "toliHripp-toliHto" in any case, it won't be worse, I checked!
Tricia, Irina, I log everything. Only today I decided that I don't need to buy anything else - fondue ??? Clay should it be or where?
We always bake a fish for a holiday, olivier for a man, ourselves a fruit salad in bowls, always make a dessert with creamy chocolate jelly - everything is bitter. I love chocolate very much. And we bake meat for our little man, where can you go from him? I love herring under a fur coat very much, but it is later because it is already gluttony. I forgot the most important thing, I always make magic (little rolls, little butter and more caviar, for some reason I like it with a roll and butter - for me this is finally the main dish) boutiques with red caviar - I can eat a lot or a lot of them.

[lappl1]

lappl1, Lyudochka, should you cook vegetables at the maximum level? Do all have the same time and potatoes and beets?
In the oven, I didn't get it even a couple of times, did it dry out?

Lyudochka, should you cook vegetables at the maximum in the micron? Do all have the same time and potatoes and beets?

Oksana, cook at maximum power. But each vegetable is separate. Control with a knife - just like when cooking. it will be soft - pull it out. The more vegetables in quantity, the longer it takes to cook. it takes 10-15 minutes for potatoes. On beets - 15 - 20. Try to work out. Now we made potatoes for the herring in a micron. Two huge potatoes (I have grown such) - 12 minutes.

[Oksana]

Oksana, I have a ceramic fondyushnitsa, here is one in one and the forks are the same:
Photo from the Internet, not mine. I will clean if it is impossible to post.
It looks small, but it fits so much melted chocolate! Do not forget that in addition to chocolate, we also wrap fruits / biscuits / cookies, and wash down with tea / coffee / liqueur.
I was offered more sophisticated fondyushnitsy, but for us this chocolate - above the roof.
But for cheese or butter or bouillon fondue, more serious units are needed - uniform heating and a high temperature are needed there.

I forgot the most important thing, I always make magic ones (few rolls, little butter and more caviar

I always do the same. But I can't eat them myself - there is no room in the belly.
Oksan, how are you doing a creamy chocolate dessert with jelly? Please write a recipe.
Girls, I have created a folder on my computer "Recipes for NG tea girls". So, come on, reveal your secrets. And then I have only Nastya and fondue there.

Photo from the Internet, not mine. I will clean if it is impossible to post.

Such a beauty! Nastya, leave a photo! Nobody here controls us. So what we want is what we do.
