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

"herbal teas lack astringency"

In your version, it looks like bird cherry gave astringency. I have a goof doing it (the same botanical family).

[Linga]

Linga, Congratulations, the seagulls were a success !!!
I'll check if the astringency gives bird cherry, I have it separately!

Lina, almost the same composition as yours plus an apple tree, also brewed it today ... Well, I can't choose which mixture I like best, they are all different and tasty. Boom to do different.
And the chickens were probably Dutch. That's right, business! Everywhere they had to break through, stick their beak and try everything. But they were calm, were friends with cats and dogs. But they drove the sparrows and the rest of the little thing. And they were very proud. Then this breed was rare, the locals went and begged when we left. Well, we gave them to our friends.
And bird cherry separately does not give special astringency. At least for me.

Lina, I was just hoping for bird cherry that it would give astringency, but at the first tests I don't remember anything like that - I was disappointed in her (although, when I dried it, the smell was awesome, but when it dried, nothing of the kind), but it seemed )))
Galina Iv., Please try, otherwise suddenly it is from the mountain ash such beauty-yummy turned out) And in general, what does the tea from bird cherry mono taste like?
PS It looks like you need to write down somewhere - what you liked, what not, and after what time the taste is better? And then there is already confusion in my head ...
While writing - Veronica has already answered about the bird cherry)

Inga, bird cherry is still bad in that mono is not granulated, only leaf. Unlike irgi, but the taste is similar. But when mixed with other leaves, the result is not bad.
And you must write it down. There are already so many things, and it is still a long time before the season, can you imagine how much we are going to do? Already in my garden notebook I assigned a place for tea and write what and how, and to whom, since my family likes different teas. And I want to understand who, what and how much to do. But everyone is asking for fireweed, without exception!

Girls, Veronica corrected me and she is right - bird cherry and goose from different families. But bird cherry and mountain ash - from one of the rosaceous. They also include apple, pear, blackthorn, plum, cherry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, peach, apricot, rosehip, hawthorn .... That's all we like.

I am very sorry that this year I did not try to make the princess out of the princess, the berries are awesome in her taste !! But at my dacha it does not grow, there is only in the Arkhangelsk region, but there was not enough time for this.

Galya, great idea! The leaves of the princess should be well granulated. And tea is made of them, but they are simply brewed dried. In our village (Vladimir region) there is a sea in the forest. But picking her leaves can be equated with picking strawberry leaves ... My poor back ... She well remembers that 300 ml jar of strawberry tea! But it was delicious.

[paramed1]

paramed1, Veronichka, thanks for supporting my idea
Well, nothing, there will at least be plans for the trail. year)
Knyazhenika is a polar raspberry, it should be tasty, but it has a unique aroma, just like cloudberry, which you can't confuse with anything! ...

Galya, here's another idea I wrote down in sclerosis. I will not pull on mono, but I will add where I will add it. She's both tasty and healthy, a berry. And the Rosaceae family. And as Lina very correctly noted, the leaves of plants of this family in teas are very good. We do not have a taiga, and therefore there are not so many princesses, but there are. Let's collect.
There is a lot of time before the season.We have to think further, remember what we can put into business! And a synopsis, a synopsis! Who promised to give me the barn book?

Who promised to give me the barn book?

I have it on the table, come take it
And you create a file, name it "Granary Book"

And what about 650 km? Wait, I'll pop a couple of cups of tea and go! Oh, I can't, my husband is on crutches, he'll be hungry without me ... Later, I'll fly him a little more and come. And I just want to go to St. Petersburg, I haven't been there for 20 years ...
And the file ... Imagine an aunt walking around the village with a crazy look - where else to cut off something - with packets of leaves in her hands and on a ring in her nose, and also with a tablet under her armpit, periodically pulled out and opened! Precisely, they will tie it up ... I'll write everything down, and then I'll learn it by heart!

Girls, I looked about the Knyazhenika berry, we call it a similar bone, but the leaves are a little different, bigger or something.

Girls, how are you writing about tea well today! I have never heard of the princess. the name is so beautiful. From a flavor with this name, tea should be awesome.
Inga, well, you have already been answered about the bird cherry. Indeed, it crumbles when twisted in a meat grinder. So you need to twist it with something sticky. And the aroma is not bad in mono. only not immediately, but several months later. I think that in Derevensky she will show herself very well. Veronica, you already did it in my opinion.

Luda, and I only make loose leaf tea, I haven't even tried granulated tea) Therefore, the stickiness of the leaves does not bother me yet (the keyword is YET). Although, I am quite satisfied with loose leaf tea, and you can make it when everyone is asleep - I will not disturb anyone :-)

Inga, if you don't care yet, then everything is all right. Try adding bird cherry to any in Rustic Tea. "You will hear" a hint of almonds. Very pleasant aroma and taste. Therefore, in the new season I want to try twisting the bird cherry in a meat grinder. Still, granulated teas are stronger in taste, aroma and color.

Lyudmila, next year I think I will try and granular. Planooov ....!

Inga, then you need to take care of a reliable electric grinder in advance. Or manual, but with masculine strength to twist.

Luda, I only made bird cherry mono this year. This irgu I built in the village in different versions. And I just add bird cherry to others when brewing. I liked the fireweed, it didn't even turn out almonds, but something resembling vanilla.
Now I brewed the mono plum again. The taste has increased a little, but still, it is not very mono. But mono pear smells differently, more intense. Tomorrow I'll brew it, unsubscribe.

looked about the berry to Knyazheniku, we call it a similar bone

Natushka, no, bone is different. The princess grows on hummocks at the edges of the forest, at least in Arkhangelskaya it grows that way. A drupe with large bones and its berries are not so tasty and the leaves, yes, are much larger. The berry is the color of a "pioneer tie", but the princess has difficulty coming off the stalk and is dark crimson. I would say that this is a very rare berry and its taste is much tastier than, for example, strawberries. (IMHO)

Veronica, we were doing bird cherry together then. Together we found out that she does not want to spin in a meat grinder, together they were disappointed in her taste and aroma in the finished tea. I drank it alone so far. I'll try to brew it with Ivan-tea tomorrow. I will also unsubscribe how she will behave.

I went to brew for the first time mono bird cherry

We are waiting for impressions ...

Well, I’ll say that this is a rare muck, I had enough for 2 sips, I poured the rest. Sorry for such a harsh statement ... but could not drink at all, the tea is granular, rather dark, but the aroma ...that's not mine! I'll throw it out, I have 100 grams of it, no more))

I would say that this is a very rare berry and its taste is much tastier than, for example, strawberries. (IMHO)

Lord, what a beauty! Can there really be something tastier than strawberries ?!
That would be to collect, prepare such beauty, or at least try it, see how it grows in nature.

then you need to take care of a reliable electric grinder in advance. Or manual, but with masculine strength to twist.

Oooh, here's another device I need in the kitchen ... and how am I without a meat grinder all this time?

We are waiting for impressions ...

I wonder what you didn't like? Smell, taste like anything? )))) Galin, do not throw it away, leave it, plz, for information at least

Girls, I found out on the Internet that you need to be more careful with bird cherry:
"Absolutely all parts of bird cherry contain alkaloids - toxic substances, so they cannot be used in official medicine." Probably, you need to take very moderate doses, otherwise it's scary ...

I wonder what you didn't like? Smell, taste like anything? )))) Galin, do not throw it out, leave it, plz, for information at least

Nastyush, read it on time, did not have time to throw it away, the jar is next to the table))), the smell is stone fruit, almond, and the taste ... well, I'll give it to you, maybe add nothing to the mixture, but mono ... nooo

Well, I’ll say that this is a rare muck, I had enough for 2 sips, I poured the rest. Sorry for such a harsh statement ... but I could not drink at all, the tea is granular, rather dark, but the aroma ... it's not mine! I'll throw it out, I have 100 grams of it, no more))

Galya, how is that? Even strange. Leafy bird cherry is not very bad. Maybe twisting in a meat grinder spoiled it?

Oooh, here's another device I need in the kitchen ... and how am I without a meat grinder all this time?

Nastya, you can live without a meat grinder, but not for tea makers. So think ... Although, if you make loose leaf tea, then it is not necessary at all.

Nastyush, I read it on time

Hurrah! I did it!
Thank you

you can live without a meat grinder, but not for tea makers

Yes, I already understood that, in the spring I will definitely buy it. I also want a manual one, but not aluminum, but some serious one, I have to google it.

I don’t know, Lyudochka, all teas, like teas, are one pleasure, but here ... you remember the meadowsweet, that threw it out and the bird cherry is the same, but this is my personal feeling, no more ..

in the spring I will definitely buy.

Nastya, just recently I saw "Soviet meat grinders", pro-in Ukraine, which was very surprised, I bought a large grill from them.

That would be to collect, prepare such beauty, or at least try, see how it grows in nature

Nastyusha, she grew up in our village, but one could always only try a little bit, no more, there was no question of any preparations. A rare berry with a unique aroma. We should probably go even further north).

do you remember the meadowsweet, that threw out and the bird cherry is the same

Well, I remember the meadowsweet. I haven't thrown it away yet. Need to try. What if she reconsidered her behavior?

I also want a manual one, but not aluminum, but some serious one, I have to google it.

Nastya, my mother-in-law's manual meat grinder will be a hundred years old at lunchtime. Bought new knives and it works great. You ask some grandmothers. They no longer use meat grinders, and you don’t need to buy anything but knives. Or ask your friends. Surely everyone has got electric ones. So the outdated device will be given away and will be glad that they made you happy.

Nastya, just recently I saw "Soviet meat grinders", pro-in Ukraine, which was very surprised, I bought a large grill from them.

Yeah, I bought it too, but then I foolishly stuffed it into the dishwasher ((. And it turned black and covered with a coating. And yet I could not adapt to it, the undercooked minced meat was poured from all the cracks. Oh, I'm still the hostess ...

A rare berry with a unique aroma.We should probably go even further north).

And north of the cloudberry is already beginning, they say! Also interesting!
I also heard that you can buy princess bushes and plant them in the country. A nerd's dream in my face, straight! ))

my mother-in-law's manual meat grinder will be a hundred years old for lunch. Bought new knives and it works great. You ask some grandmothers.

A good idea! Maybe someone from the relatives will give the meat grinder run in life ...

Girls, I found out on the Internet that you need to be more careful with bird cherry: "Absolutely all parts of bird cherry contain alkaloids - poisonous substances, so they cannot be used in official medicine." Probably, you need to take in very moderate doses, otherwise it's scary ...

Nastya, I read that during fermentation and drying at high temperatures, alkaloids are destroyed. So don't be afraid. Let's wait for Veronica and Lina. They know everything.

ABOUT! Then I'm calm . I apologize for stirring up the water.

And north of the cloudberry is already beginning, they say! Also interesting! I also heard that you can buy princess bushes and plant them in the country.

There is also cloudberry in Len. area). And the princess is a terrible capricious and not so easy to tame her

We have already spoken about bird cherry before. Poisonous compounds in it when heated to 80 degrees. completely destroyed, somewhere at the beginning of the topic I wrote in detail. We recall the pastries made from bird cherry flour and Siberian shangi pies with bird cherry. As long as everyone is alive.
Galya, about the taste. How did you manage to granulate it ... Luda and I just can't do it. Loose tea has a very pleasant smell, but the taste is not for everybody. I can have a cup, but not often. And she did a little too. I will add to other teas.
Nastya, and on the Internet they write oh so many things, sometimes the exact opposite of the truth ... You look at professional sites about plants, or botanical, or pharmaceutical. Better to find a good book about medicinal plants, Kovaleva, for example. There is a lot of interesting and useful information. Or read our Temka from the beginning, Lina and I talked a lot about plants in the summer and debunked some myths and delusions. While we are preparing teas from the right plants. The main thing in the summer is not to push something unnecessary into your tea, when you are going to make tea not only tasty, but also beautiful, that is, different flowers, petals ...

I apologize for stirring up the water.

It's okay, Nastenka! We, on the contrary, better to be vigilant and figure out than to make tea from some kind of poison. Together and under the strict guidance of Lina and Veronica, we will figure it out.

Galya, that's for sure, it is very difficult to grow a princess on a plot. Better not to mess with. We have a little of it in the forest, and it grows in meadows, but so that there is a swamp nearby, that is, it needs both humidity and sun, and so that there is no wind. It is also called a meadow. And the dumbbell just grows in the forest, everywhere.
The bruise can be distinguished by its leaf and berry. The leaf is larger, the berry is mostly four-fruited, flat. The taste is sour, similar to pomegranate. And the prince's leaf is smaller, the berry is larger, it looks like a raspberry, and the taste is strawberry-pineapple. But I think that you can also put the bone in tea. Oh, how many more things to do next season creep out!

Galya, about the taste. How did you manage to granulate it ...

Gal, I also had this question yesterday, but somehow I didn't have time to ask it. Indeed, the bird cherry was not granulated at all. Raspberries and currants are granulated better. if I didn’t know that you are a pro in sauces, I would assume that you just didn’t pluck a bird cherry.

How did you manage to granulate it ... Luda and I just can't do it. Loose tea has a very pleasant smell, but the taste is not for everybody. I can have a cup, but not often. And she did a little too.

Veronichka, is this where we are without you? Never leave us! Granular can be said loudly, by this most likely I wanted to clearly say that it is a meat grinder), but at least it is not dust.The smell of these semi-granules)) is pleasant, almond-stone, but the taste of tea .. I will not repeat yesterday's expression

Ahhh, clear - a meat grinder ...

that you just didn't pick a cherry

Bird cherry (Prúnus pádus), or Bird cherry, or Bird cherry. By the way, in the Vologda region this year there was just an unprecedented harvest !!!! All the trees were hung with berries.

Luda, the poison is most often tasteless initially, and there is not so much of it around. I think we'll stay in good health.
Now I have imagined how interesting it will be at the beginning of the next season, when new members of the tea circle will join. After all, so many pages will definitely not be read! And hurray, we will explain everything again ... But now you have 114 assistants! Can we handle it?

Gal, we never doubt you! You are our chief forester! And here in Vladimirskaya, that bird cherry, that there was a sea, the birds did not even peck at all.
And I had the same garbage with granulating an apple tree with currants, half-granules, half-trunks. But when I changed the apple variety and the currant variety, everything became beautiful and tasty.

[Veronica]

Veronicaof course we can handle it! There are already 114 of us! True, there are fewer regulars, but what kind! So let's enlighten everyone quickly.

Bird cherry (Prúnus pádus), or Bird cherry, or Bird cherry. By the way, in the Vologda region this year there was just an unprecedented harvest !!!! All the trees were hung with berries.

Well, what was I talking about ?! SPECIALIST!!!

wow! 114! and everyone is in ambush! And raspberry is in the lead, though only 1 vote ahead)
And we have a real winter today, everything is in the snow

Girls, this is how our forum sucks in, instead of filling out the medical history here for some reason, I got into it. That I shouldn't forget - I decided that now I will always grind twice - first through a wide grate, then through a finer one - and the meat grinder is easier, and the granules are better and more beautiful.

Santa Claus promised me a gift for a Christmas tree - a Bosh Propower 45020 meat grinder - it has a metal auger all, without plastic bushings!
