Ivan-tea "White-pink" (from the tops)

[Lind @]

What for? useful? Delicious?

Lind @, definitely useful. And in order to find out whether it is tasty, in the fall, at the time of harvesting the roots, you need to try to do it. The roots are said to be sweet and taste like potatoes. I have not tried it myself.

What for? useful? Delicious?

It's hard to say, it's not a war and we're not starving, and there are a lot of cereals in the store and it's not a problem to buy tea, but still ... all sorts of medicines are sold in the pharmacy, but people don't forget folk methods either.

[svetn]

Hard to say

svetn, Sveta, you are right ... After all, the action itself is something of magic !!! I don't even know what I like better - making tea or drinking it. For 4 years I have never started the process of making tea with indifference. Always some kind of delight! And so the whole season for the fourth year in a row ...

On the Internet came across information about porridge from rhizomes of Ivan tea

And Mistletoe and I said it jokingly)))

And yet there is a recipe for porridge. But not with milk.

And Mistletoe and I said it jokingly)))

Girls, but type in the search engine "porridge from the rhizomes of Ivan tea" a lot of links drop out. I came across them even when at the beginning of summer I was looking for information on how to make fireweed tea, and then I came here and did not wander anywhere else, as far as everything is described in detail here and such a friendly atmosphere.

[svetn]

svetn, Svetlana, I think that this year we will definitely need to try to cook porridge. But not until October. Now you can't get to the roots. Such thick grass!

Lyudochka, thank you for the new tea! It is a pity that the time has already been lost, but, as "hands itch", we look forward to next year!

I think that this year we will definitely need to try to cook porridge

Lyudmila, knowing your creative energy, I have no doubt that we will cook!

But not until October

And great! now the mushrooms have gone, so we will collect everything, process it, and in October we will go for the rhizomes!

[Lucilia]

Lyudochka, thank you for the new tea! It is a pity that the time has already been lost, but, as "hands itch", we look forward to next year!

Lucilia, Lyudochka, to your health! And don't regret tea. You will do it next year. Moreover, your husband brought you so many boxes. You won't be left without tea.

Lyudmila, knowing your creative energy, I have no doubt that we will cook!

svetn, Svetlana,

Oh Lyudmila, you just force me to go to the forest again, despite the fact that the anticomarine is completely and completely over, and there are clouds of midges ..
But a man is ashamed to be afraid of small beeches and to retreat in the face of difficulties ..
And so I go to collect white tea! because missed opportunities / moments bring me a lot of frustration and disappointment ..
.
Thank you very much for the recipes and this whole topic.

[Barrabas]

Lyudmila, you are directly forcing me to go back to the forest, despite the fact that the antikomarine is completely and completely over, and there are clouds of midges ..

Barrabas, no ... I do not force ... But I highly recommend it. You know, you do the right thing when you go. True, how you will fight the bloodsuckers there, I'm even afraid to imagine. During the season a couple of midges will bite me and that is a tragedy for me. And you have there, I can imagine how many there are! Well, okay, you can handle it! Happy and trouble-free hunting!

lappl1, good morning!)

In general, we are no longer in the white-pink season .. there are no tops, they blossomed into flowery boombs ..
And this is EVERYTHING that I was able to collect in 2 hours after climbing 6 km around:
And it turned out even less on the scatter ..
Therefore, I want it to turn out perfectly, so that the granules turn out denser - I will probably twist everything 2 times, relying on your experience in this recipe, and dry it at a low t ..
London applauded .. and no wonder!

Oh, and this is a long process! Collecting flower tops in the meadow, many times I caught myself thinking that the creator of the recipe sells it cheaply.

The collection of raw materials for this tea, however, is the most laborious and at the same time the simplest)
2900 per 100 grams it is clear why

Yeah, I have collected wealth, however! And I was able to type a little, so I did it with leaves and boxes, but yummy, however! Why isn't everyone a "good" morning?

[Barrabas]

In general, we are no longer in the white-pink season .. there are no tops, they blossomed into flowery boombs ..

Barrabas, Igor, good morning!
Well, you have a rich catch. I didn't have that much. And you have it all over the couch, but in a dense layer. So there will be more tea!

The collection of raw materials for this tea, however, is the most laborious and at the same time the simplest)

I would say that it is meditative ... Or sports, considering that you walked 6 km for this!
Well, prepare a white and pink miracle and tell us about your impressions. Good luck!

Why isn't everyone a "good" morning?

Lenusik, so try to run 6 km, simultaneously breaking off the tops of Vanechka. I probably would have forgotten my name ...

[elena kadiewa]

elena kadiewa, good day to you
I thought that rarely anyone looks into this topic, not kakbe season))
.
I went to twirl and twirl this miracle .. and it smells like a wonderful honey-floral aroma, just lovely))

We periodically check our tea topics, but we do not always write ...

[Barrabas]

Barrabas, Igor, try half to dry at a low temperature, and half at 100 *. Compare. The second option tastes better to me. But the first one is more fragrant.

And when I brought Ivanushka home, tearing off the leaves, I was sorry to throw these spikelets away. And I just dried them in the hope that later I would add them to the tea leaves.

[Albina]

Albina, did the right thing not to throw it away. It could be twisted with leaves, but you can - separately. Twisted raw materials always have a stronger aroma and taste than simply dried ones.

I just thought what to add for beauty. And it was a pity to throw it away.

[Albina]

Albina, and right! I also dried the flowers for beauty, just in the dryer. They are very aromatic and complement the taste of tea well.

If there is little fireweed growing on the nearest Ivan tea plantation, then when preparing such tea at the beginning of the fireweed season, there is a risk of destroying all flower stalks with buds. After all, in order to make quite a bit of tea from the tops, you need to break them off on a fairly large number of plants.

lappl1 Lyudmila, do not be afraid to break, nature is inventive and will not leave fireweed without the opportunity to reproduce! Ivan-tea will give new flower shoots from the lower leaf axils, and instead of one broken one, several new ones will grow, and we will be able to collect more tops, but already cutting off not all flower stalks! In addition, the fireweed is a perennial, with reproduction by the root system. The roots "recognize" and give new shoots, and with the seeds of fireweed it develops new, distant areas. In general: pruning of shoots is a technique in horticulture and leads to a more harmonious development of plants. Break it off, it will only get better, by this we stimulate the growth of the plant!
Thank you very much for the master class. Last year, we made tea for the first time from leaves of fireweed, according to the technology you described, a very interesting taste turned out. We regret that we have not collected enough, our fireweed grows in small islands and we still have to look for it ... Now we are waiting for summer, now we will also collect buds.

Ivan-tea will give new flower shoots from the lower leaf axils, and instead of one broken one, several new ones will grow, and we will be able to collect more tops ...

I also noticed this feature of Fireweed. The forest edge, mown in May, where Ivanushka grows, by August gave out tender, juicy shoots, which I used as intended. True, they did not have time to bloom.
This year she "mowed" one of "her" plots))) by the fall there will be young shoots.

This year she "mowed" one of "her" plots)

here we are, tea makers, we already have our own plots in the forest
And I think, from a very young something to make ... And then everyone is already engaged in teas ... and I want ...

[Elena_Kamch]

Elena_Kamch, Lenochka, make from very young tea, make some sumac tea from it, just very carefully sushi, I burned my first batch.

[Galina Iv.]

Galina Iv., Checkmark, thanks! Did you write somewhere about your experience? What is the best temperature at the beginning and for how long?

[Elena_Kamch]

Elena_Kamch, Lena, I dry in a frying pan with a thick bottom and do not leave, I turn it over first with a spatula, then only with my hands. first I fry, that is, dry on a C grade for about 5 minutes, then a C grade, I have an electric stove. I feel moisture with my hands ... that is, only my instinct helps here)).

ABOUT! And I have never tried it on the tile, only in the oven.

everyone has their own, I do not make a meat grinder, only sheet)

[lappl1]

lappl1, Lyudochkaare you a moderator now? Can you edit?
Well, now with tea themes you can create what your soul asks for!

Well, now with tea themes you can create what your soul asks for!

If Lyudmila, due to the situation, does not have time to "do it beautifully", you can assign a co-moderator from among those who masterfully, possessing moderator tools, will gradually be able to do "what the soul asks"

you can reassign a co-moderator

Interesting idea! It's easier and faster to work in a team

[Chef]

If Lyudmila, due to the situation, does not have time to "do it beautifully", you can assign a co-moderator from among those who masterfully, possessing moderator tools, will gradually be able to do "what the soul asks"

Chef, yeah ... Only all over again you need to comprehend what the soul asks ... While I was just stunned by the news and joy. But the fact that now my opportunities are wider and I can work as a team, it's so great! And I won't bother you over trifles. Thanks for the great innovations in our tea life!

Well, what, devuli? Doesn't anyone else bloom yet? I can’t wait until it’s blooming

Added Friday 17 Jun 2016 4:59 pm

We promise up to 34 ° for next week, I think things will go faster to flowering)))

I also inspect my lands every day, so as not to miss the moment!
And you really don't have any flowers yet?

in the north of the Ryazan region does not bloom yet, we are waiting !!!
only on one single plant I saw buds

In Ivanovo region, only bud embryos. I tear Ivanushka, and leave the crest ...

Oh, devuli, I dreamed of flowers, that's what the thirst for White-pink means! There are whole fields in the distance, I still look closely, look at what it looks like on Ivan, and then I saw, OH !!! Clinic!!!

[Natalo4-ka]

boom to think that the dream will be propheticNatalo4-ka,

[space]

space, Lydia, where will he go! I've been waiting for flowering for the second week at a low start. Oh, how can I not overdo it with the collection of raw materials

[Natalo4-ka]

how not to overdo it with the collection of raw materials

This is the catch. We are waiting, we are waiting, then how we will throw ourselves. I finally collected my first Ivan-tea this year! Already faded! Kaneshno, it is still far from flowering, but the bushes themselves are normal. So, too, like, a little more, a little more ... As a result, I sat later ... .. processed ..
So that, Natalo4-ka, Keep calm !

I went now "to my lands"
The tops of the heads are already swollen, barely pink, but there are no flowers yet.
All in thought, it's time, isn't it time ???
Collecting will now appear in two days.
If you give the go-ahead, I will give an instruction: girl_haha: to collect and instruct how to do
I honestly admit that I only read the first page, there is no time, but I want to get an answer

[space]

space, Lida, flowers are not needed ... Or rather, they are not required at all. What is the name of the tea? White and pink. And the flowers are not pink at all. Look at the photo in the recipe where I show the ripped tops. It is these barely pink tops that need to be torn. And if there are flowers, then they fell off along the way. They won't hurt. So, give the command - let them tear. But by measures ...

Well? The North rules!
Today I made the long-awaited pink and white, my last year's dream ...
I collected it the day before yesterday, twisted it last night, fermented it overnight - did not fit into my schedule, dried for a long time - 1.5 days! - today I dried it, my good one hangs in a bag!
It turned out a little, a little more tops of the heads, uneven maturation, very quickly the tops of the heads grow stiff, and the scale of Ivanushka is needed more, but today I collected a little more, well, well, I will do it a little bit.
The smell when twisting, fermenting and drying was wonderful, reminiscent of fluff when drying.
I didn't brew - I became patient, as Luda taught.
Who is next?

[Lenusik]

Lenusik, congratulations on the first white and pink! Indeed, little tea is obtained. Even with my scale of thickets of fireweed, I could not pick a lot. But nothing, there is still a lot of time! You will have time to do it. And then I had absolutely nothing to do. Just for the narwhal recipe a little. And it didn't work anymore.

I didn't brew - I became patient, as Luda taught.

Well done ! Sit down, five!

: oops: thank you teacher!
Next in line is the new Linin (I took out all her brains!), We need to prepare raw materials.

new Linin

Did I miss it? And where is he ?

Well you, Lenus, give it!
How at this temperature you already have peduncles? In the greenhouse or what?
With the first White-pink you, let it become tastier and more perfumery.
And while I'm stuck in the city, there is no access to Ivashka. Maybe mine is already asking for tea, but I miss him here.

I thought you would be the first, yet we have such a different climate.
But I beat you up!
