Ivan-tea "Fluffy" (from unripe seed bolls)

[Vikulya]

Lyudochka, congratulations on the discovery of a new tea recipe, I bow low and admire. I'm so glad that you made a new discovery for the whole bread machine and don't even argue ...

Vikulya, dear, thank you very much for such a high assessment of my work! Your opinion is very valuable to me! I'm glad that you sometimes run into tea topics. And how? Do you make tea?

Sorry for taking so much attention from the topic of Fuzzy. No more

natalisorel, NatalieRealizing that a person does not live by tea alone, for such conversations, I created the Tea Arbor. Come, we are very interesting there. The link to the Gazebo is under each of my posts.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, Lyudochka, I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye. In the morning, she was shot. Yesterday, the fluffy was drying until 3 o'clock in the morning, and in the morning it was already packing. I came home and weighed my tea, it turned out 3 kg. I honestly didn’t expect so much fluff to be prepared. I have already attached two bags for airing (these are the ones that were dried at night), now wait after August 15)))

P.S. I can't find a wire to transfer the photo to the computer, so I'll post the photo report later)))

Lyudochek, I'm running into the topics, but I confess that I can't read everything and the tea arbor and Ivan tea and tea from the garden, a little bit everywhere. I admire everyone who has time to do so much, like Lina, for example, and still have time to be aware of everything. I was on vacation in the village, there is no Internet, and again I was so behind and I couldn't reread everything. Only one strawberry tea was made in the village, the oven there is not very good, so I dried it in a pan for the first time and maybe even the last time. I didn't really like how it dried up quickly, he squeaked at the first. I'll see what it tastes like, I made a sheet, because the meat grinder is there, probably my age. In general, I have such an algorithm of actions that I tested last year - I take food to the village from it, I take packages home, dry it, ice it in a normal freezer, twist it in an electric meat grinder and dry it in a predictable oven.
I will probably surprise, but still I will say that I will not make a lot of tea and I will explain why. Last year I tried to give tea to different people, and then asked, how did they like the tea? Everyone answered me: yes, yes, I liked it very much, but no one asked for another treat. This is my story, in contrast to many whose tea for refreshments left in large quantities. It also happens.

[Anyuta]

Lyudochka, I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye. Yesterday, the fluffy dried until 3 o'clock in the morning, and in the morning we were already packing.

Anyuta, I saw how you were fussing there. But nothing, see you soon. I look forward to your arrival, you know how. ..

Lyudochek, I'm running into the topics, but I confess that I can't read everything and the tea arbor and Ivan tea and tea from the garden, a little bit everywhere. I admire everyone who has time to do so much, like Lina, for example, and still have time to be aware of everything.

Vika, nothing, the main thing is that everything is in order with you and you at least sometimes drop in to us.

Only one strawberry tea was made in the village, the oven there is not very good, so I dried it in a pan for the first time and maybe even the last time. I didn't really like how it dried up quickly, he squeaked at the first.

In a nearby tea theme, a boy recommended putting baking paper on the frying pan as well. Great idea for non-standard situations.

I will probably surprise, but still I will say that I will not make a lot of tea and explain why.Last year I tried to give tea to different people, and then asked, how did they like the tea? Everyone answered me: yes, yes, I liked it very much, but no one asked for another treat.

Vikulya, maybe they were just being modest? But you know better. The main thing is that she herself with tea.

In general, I have such an algorithm of actions that I tested last year - I take food to the village from it, I take packages home, dry it, ice it in a normal freezer, twist it in an electric meat grinder and dry it in a predictable oven.

Great algorithm! Right!

Lyudochek, maybe you're right, but no one remembered himself or shared his impressions, she kept asking herself if they brewed it, did you like it, which one is more? The feeling was as if I was pestering people with my tea, and this is generally not in my nature. There was a sediment and a lot of different tea.

[Vikulya]

Vikulya, and you know, well, God is with them ... They do not understand their happiness ... A woman with a cart ... In general, it will be easier for you.

[Vika]

Vika, and I would also be ashamed to ask for more. After all, they probably know how troublesome it is to make delicious tea. I think your friends are decent people. They know that if they praise your tea, you will give everything to them, so they are uncomfortable. This is how it seems to me So feel free to give your teas as expensive gifts

[Gaby]

Gaby, Vika, I also have such "tea-lovers, they drank with me, praised me, gave me home, they were going to make tea this year. And when I asked about tea this summer, they answered that there is a large selection of teas in the store. Let them drink from the store. the whole family suffers from allergies.

[Alla]

Alla, Yes, laziness-mother ruins people.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, well, where is the promised recipe. Yesterday I went to get Ivan-tea. As you said, the tops are gone. There are a lot of boxes, but they are already on the drifts and the leaves are still normal. I typed 2 packages. The boxes lay overnight and the fluff flew away. We urgently need to twist.

[Tata]

Tata, will be ... I did not have time to write. I give birth to recipes for a long time. And not in a hurry - the tops are gone. I'll post it in a couple of days. Because the tea is great. But difficult ...
.

There are a lot of boxes, but they are already on the drifts and the leaves are still normal.

But from the current boxes, I rejected tea. It's only been a couple of weeks since the first tea, and the taste has deteriorated. Apparently, they are not the same. I have a kilogram of boxes now. I'm in doubt - to make tea or not? Because I didn't like the last game at all. Apparently, the train with the "Fuzzy" left until next year.

Thank you for your words of support, I love you all.

Girls, I will share my experience with a furry. As soon as Lyudmila laid out the recipe, I immediately picked up the boxes and without withering, scrolled them 2 times, fermented for 12 hours, did not wrap them up. When drying, the smell was worse than from the vanka, but I did not feel the bread smell. Brewed, color, taste, everything is there, but did not cause delight. I will wait when he grows wiser. And yesterday I made boxes with leaves, dried everything in the sheets for a day, some boxes burst, there are no weights, or there are even more boxes or a little more boxes, because they are heavier. Twisted it once. Fermented for 6 hours. So when drying 130-140 degrees, there was a smell of bread, when after drying it was brewed, the tea was blackening and the taste of bread kvass was felt, only there was not enough yeast. The tea smells delicious in the pillowcase, not bread. This is my experience with pussies, I don't know if it will be successful or not. But the husband will drink everything, he is crazy about any vanka.

[Nadyushich]

Nadyushich, I realized that it is better to dry some boxes at a temperature not higher than 60 *. Otherwise, the fluff burns and gives the smell of bread. And with leaves - in a ratio of no less than 1: 1. here it is possible even at high temperatures. But now the boxes are not the same. My last game was also unsuccessful.

[Ludmila]

I'm in doubt - to make tea or not? Because I didn't like the last game at all.

Ludmila, and what did not like. Wrong taste, smell? I haven't brewed a clean little box yet, there is nothing to compare with. When I was collecting it yesterday, I noticed that they were somehow dry, not so juicy or something.And in the meat grinder they slipped faster, did not remain on the walls, like a dry product. It's a pity to throw it away, my husband swears. So I put it into action. We'll see there.

[Tata]

and what did not like. Wrong taste, smell?

Tata, and taste and smell. The tea is very rich, but not tasty. I say that the first tea was with flowers and tops, so, apparently, it turned out to be cool. And now there were only boxes, without a single flower and tops, and even there were many that had opened. In general, everything, it's time to tie with boxes this year, and next year you need to start doing it earlier.

[Ludmila]

the first tea was with flowers and tops, so, apparently, it turned out great.

Ludmila, yesterday we still gathered with flowers and not opened. Let's see what happens next.

[Tata]

Tata, then everything will be OK!

Made tea from leaves and about 1/4 of the boxes. I couldn't dial more, they were already fluffed up. Fermented for 4.5 hours, rolled in a meat grinder. On the trail. brewed the day. And I recognized the familiar taste. Last year I made tea from some pre-fermented flowers. The color and taste are the same. Delicious

Good evening everyone! For cute tea-makers, this is my experiment. After I played enough with the combination of various herbs and leaves in tea, changed the time and temperature of fermentation, flavored the finished product with orange, lemon peels, black currants, aromatic plants, I wanted to create something with the shape. I wanted to make pressed tea, although I understood that it would be much more difficult to dry such a plate than granules, but hunting is worse than bondage. Here's what happened She formed tea tablets with a spoon from a bread machine, dried in the oven. They keep their shape perfectly. I made a double twist of foxes, seed pods and fireweed flowers, added a little more raspberry leaves, sprinkled everything lightly with honey water. Raw tablets weighing about four grams turned out to be dried, they felt twice as lighter. Of course it didn't change anything in taste and aroma, just another option for a small gift.
It is a pity that you can only insert one photo per message. I photographed the whole process, at every stage.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, picked up a bouquet of fireweed flowers with young tops. Tell me where it is better to add them, to fireweed leaves or garden leaves. Where they will show themselves more. Can the tops be dried with the flowers at the lowest temperature?
P.S. yesterday's collection of boxes gave a very rich tart taste. Even slightly bitter. Like a very strong black tea. But perhaps this is due to the fact that I put 6 tsp on 0.7 liters of water. and brewed in a thermos.

I photographed the whole process, at every stage.

Who told you that? the whole process in the studio

[svetn]

svetn, Svetlana, very nice tea turned out. I'm waiting for the rest of the photos, it turned out very interesting.

niamka, well done ! I am glad that you received the familiar tea!

For cute tea-makers, this is my experiment.

svetn, Sveta, great experiment! The balls look so cool! Smart girl! Thank you for sharing your experience and showing us your tea.

It is a pity that you can only insert one photo per message. I photographed the whole process, at every stage.

Sveta, you can insert at least 100 photos! Download one by one, copy the codes and paste them into your message. Look forward to!

[Tata]

collected a bouquet of willow flowers with young tops. Tell me where it is better to add them, to fireweed leaves or garden leaves. Where they will show themselves more. Can the tops be dried with the flowers at the lowest temperature?

Tata, it means that they have not yet departed from you. And we have everything, the season of flowers and boxes is over.and the leaves are not the same ...
And the tops where you want more, add there. I would make them with fireweed leaves. Let it be very rich Ivan tea. But in the garden it will be fine.

yesterday's collection of boxes gave a very rich tart taste. Even slightly bitter. Like a very strong black tea. But perhaps this is due to the fact that I put 6 tsp on 0.7 liters of water. and brewed in a thermos.

Oh, I'm so glad it worked out! But it seems to me that you put a bit too much tea leaves. 3 spoons will be enough. And also strong tea will turn out.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, I accidentally saw a small island of young fireweed. In the evening I walked with the dog, and he was growing in a heap of sawn branches. While I was tearing up, I was all tattered. Tomorrow I'll get dressed and climb some more. There are very young flowers and even buds and young boxes. I've also decided to dry the flowers, and the tops with leaves. By the way, I scored the leaves right under my nose, literally. It grows with me right from under the foundation. I think to transplant it in the fall. Tell me how?

[Tata]

I accidentally saw a small island of young fireweed.

Happy ...

By the way, I scored the leaves right under my nose, literally. It grows with me right from under the foundation. I think to transplant it in the fall. Tell me how?

Tata, I did not plant myself, but I read it here 🔗

I made a very tasty gull
I'll tell you in order.
I was looking for raw materials for a long time, I was already desperate, since most of Ivan's tea had already started running and the boxes were mostly already ripe. But still there was a glade in the lowland with the still blossoming ivanushka. I got together pretty quickly and easily. Along the way, I collected the leaves. The leaves were about the same in volume as the bolls, but certainly less in weight. The boxes fit more tightly. Faded everything. I twisted it separately in a meat grinder, mixed it and scrolled it again. The granules are dense. Fermented for 7 hours. Dried according to Anya's method 200/100/65 degrees. But my granules did not darken like Anya's. Yesterday and today I brew in a thermos. It is brewed tightly, black tea in color. And the taste is "stunning" !!! I am not a fan of strong and black teas. And this tea was not diluted strongly. Fruity, but not compote, even sweetish taste and aftertaste like ordinary tea from Ivanushka. It is difficult to convey feelings in words. This is my most successful tea to date.
My three-year-old daughter appreciated it too. Usually asks for chamomile tea. Today he says: "Chamomile? ...... mmmmm .... but how does it smell like cornflowers." I don't know why it smells like cornflowers, but her words are like a balm to my soul

[IrisKa_B]

IrisKa_B, Ira, it's great that everything worked out! You can't even imagine how glad I am! Because now there is a risk of picking up old boxes that have lost their tenderness. And everything went well for you!
By the way, I understood why Anya has black tea, all of us have light. I managed to visit her at the time when she put it to dry and before the end of drying.
In general, she does a little differently than she told me. Or I didn't understand her then ...
First, she puts the tea in a cold oven. Includes it 200 *. And waits until the tea stops steaming. It does not often interfere - a couple of times before this very disappearance of the steam. It takes her 20 - 25 minutes to do this. Then she lowers it to 100 *, dries the tea to a slightly damp state, and then turns it on again 150 - 175 *. And again holds the tea for about 15 minutes. Damn ... While I was with her, I jerked all over. But nothing, everything turned out great - aromatic black tea. I myself did not dare to do this - the fireweed was almost over ... In general, she says that all tea does this. But she warned me that her mini oven shows a temperature higher than it is in real life.

My three-year-old daughter appreciated it too. Usually asks for chamomile tea. Today he says: "Chamomile? ...... mmmmm .... but how does it smell like cornflowers." I don't know why it smells like cornflowers, but her words are like a balm to my soul

Ira, and your daughter's words are like a balm to my soul.You can't fool a child! Tells what it really is. Thank you for such an informative report! Prepare tea for health!

[Ludmila]

By the way, I understood why Anya has black tea, all of us have light. I managed to visit her at the time when she put it to dry and before the end of drying.

Ludmila, how great, I have been waiting all the time for this moment, when you will explain to us why Anya has black tea

[Natalie]

Natalie, but I did not calm down until I visited her during the entire drying.

[Lyudochka]

Lyudochka, can mark this temperature regime on the first page ???? Ani's mode.

[Oksanchik]

Oksanchik, I will definitely do it. But then, when I ask the Chief to let me edit all the topics at once. There is a lot to add. In the meantime, Fuzzy is gone, this is not very relevant.

"This tea haunted me all summer."
.
It's just stunned ... We have these boxes growing around that again the bed and the floor will be enough to fill up ...
I feel the whole August this Ivan-Tea will also haunt me until I stock up on sufficient quantities for family and friends)
.
Thanks to Lyudmila for the article! Enlightenment just on your website I get!

[Luda]

In the meantime, Fuzzy is gone, this is not very relevant

Luda , he has not left yet, with us he has not yet pushed in the bulk, only in places it starts. And what can we say about Komi, including Syktyvkar (Natalie is from there), the Arkhangelsk region, Karelia, etc. So I personally played it yesterday. One portion is fluffy, and the second is all together - the leaves, and the tops of the young, and the boxes. I forgot about this package, I had it on my balcony for 3 days, yesterday I remembered how a madwoman ran after him, and there was such a scent !! He began to scream, well, many discoveries of mankind are a consequence of the irresponsibility of people
Barrabas, Igor, yes, such wealth, given to us by nature itself, grows right under our feet !! Use it and we will also have tea, probably while we have strength (up to 95 years)

but I didn't calm down until I visited her during the whole drying process.

That's for sure))) I sat and looked askance at the oven. It is difficult for me to accurately describe the process of making tea, since I do everything by "smell".
At each stage, tea smells differently for me and I practically do not need to watch the time, I can tell by the smell exactly when it should be interfered, when the temperature should be reduced, when to add, and when to turn it off and hang it in a bag. According to the time frame, we have Lyudochka special. She is smart that she guessed to come to me and sort out the time)))

Yes, girls ..... no words! Lyudochka, you're killing us on the spot! I read it and - even now, run for the boxes. If tomorrow we go to celebrate in the garden to the dressmaker (her mother is 80 years old), we will leave everything with our daughter and go to collect. And here's what I understood, until you yourself take part in the process of making tea at least once, you don't understand this excitement of collecting and everything else. Well, as you describe, drools run. Thank you very much again!

Well that's why ?! Why, as soon as I say “that's it, that's enough, the whole house is already in tea,” Lyuda immediately appears and talks about something new ?! Now I have to make a push list in Anya's mode, only in AG. By the way, I sometimes raised the temperature at the beginning to 180, when it seemed to me that there was not enough tension, but in the garden. But I'll come to the village, another portion, even a small one, but I will - we have these boxes with leaves for the whole August.

And what will we all be healthy .........

And what will we all be healthy .........

Yeah, especially after we cook at a time as much as in the Ivan-tea theme Barrabas - 12 kg of leaves ...

12 kg of leaves ...

16 kg of raw materials were from the forest)
.
I wonder how much now after shrinkage .. but there is no way to weigh ..
(although I feel so that I will not stop at this stage. I will collect as much as I can take home ready tea ..)
And tomorrow I'll go for the fluffy ..
today I kneaded the heels of these sticks in my palms, sniffed, ATAS! Such a pleasant fruity-floral scent mmm ..

[Barrabas]

Barrabas, Igor, after wilting leaves of willow-tea lose about half, that is, somewhere 8 kilos will remain. And at the exit 16: 5 = more than 3 kg of tea.

16 kg of raw materials were from the forest)

I envy the "white" envy. Well done man!

[Barrabas]

Barrabas, Igor, this process drags on very seriously! And Koporsky tea is a fairy tale! So while there is something to collect - go ahead with the bags!

[Barrabas]

Barrabas, I see that you are specifically involved! Already got to Fuzzy. Our person !
Veronicek, don't grumble ... Otherwise I'll think of something else ...
Natalia, calmly! Make Ivanushka everyone. Otherwise, what you have done is not enough for you and your daughter.
Thank you, dear friends ! I'm so glad you're glad ... Chesslovo!

She sat and looked sideways at the oven. It is difficult for me to accurately describe the process of making tea, because I do everything according to the "smell".

Anyuta, but how? Yours is black, but mine and everyone's - no! Out of order: girl_mad: to! So I came to you with an inspection.

Hello, my dear "tea-makers". My spouse brought me from a flight (Ryazan region) two packages of boxes (I can see how he left the car on the side of the road and runs across the field, collecting boxes). he thought of twisting the sheets and the duvet cover himself. So the raw material, ready to roll, turned out to be 7.2 kg. Since there were a lot of boxes (by the way, still young), I decided to conduct an experiment, I did the first one as usual: fermentation for 4 hours, frying, drying. Everything also smells like fresh bread. The second batch was fermented for 9 hours, after drying it smells like berries and prunes. I am still fermenting the third batch, it will stand for about 20 hours in total. I also had Ivanushka leaves in the freezer and I also let them in a separate batch, everything did not fit into the airfryer and I left a gram ... 500 to ferment further, then the spouse arrived with the boxes, they had to be brought to mind, then I rolled the caviar, tomatoes , cucumbers and .... I forgot, I remembered only two days later. When I began to cut them, (the rolls) it turned out that they became very sticky, I think they probably deteriorated, but still dried it ..., the tea turned out to be a very rich black color, a little greenish tint, beautiful and fruity smell, delicate, very pleasant ...

[Lucilia]

Lucilia, this is my husband! Bravo! I also imagined how he collects these boxes! Gather more than 7 kg - you have to try. In general, I provided both myself and you with work! Lyudochka, thank you for describing your experiments with boxes. Very useful information for us. I am very glad that my husband's flight was so successful for your family!

It rained here for almost 3 weeks, I longingly read the topic about fluffy Ivan tea. Yesterday, before leaving, I still ran away, took a little. When withering, some of the boxes opened and removed. There was a fear that I would dry the whole apartment in the oven in fluff. But no, I survived drying without fluff, now I will brew.

[Divnay]

Divnay, I congratulate that we managed to pick boxes! Your opinion is very interesting!

[lappl1]

lappl1, Lyudmila. I dried the granules with a light color, like yours is not fermented, brewed a dark infusion. The taste is not the same as from the leaves, but it is similar. (It seems that something went wrong, the fermentation took place on the way) Today we will go back and collect more.
