Podmosvichkahave you ever smelled camphor alcohol?
Yuri K
Podmosvichka, any pharmacy sells camphor alcohol for rubbing, a penny. For cognition of the smell of camphor, a bottle is enough for your head
Podmosvichka
Thanks for the idea.
As soon as I can go to the city, I will buy it.

This is not oregano (if you thought about it)
Definitely not oregano.
And I thought about the marsh purse, but the leaves seem a little different. It would be nice to have a photo of natural growth from two meters away.
Yuri K
Volodislavir, I agree, very similar. And the river appears in the collection point.
Podmosvichka, Len, show your husband - did he collect such weed?
Long fermentation tea "Apple-Sage Sonata"
Here is what Wikipedia writes: "The aerial part contains betaine, tannins, organic acids, essential oil, ascorbic acid. Do not overdose, as the plant has toxic properties."

Podmoskvichka, have you ever smelled camphor alcohol?
For a very, very long time, I kind of did compresses for my eldest son. Or dripping somewhere.
But it was a very long time ago, in the last millennium, I don't remember at all

Exactly the same, one to one
And the four-sided stem is the same as in your picture.

What can I say, not "tea" is weed unfortunately. Read on the internet, you can probably dry a little, but it's not worth it in tea, it is poisonous (medicinal) ...

Okay, let's look. The son will come, maybe we'll go to the side.

I'll be worn out now if I don't write! Today I studied articles about sage, species, subspecies ... Now I'm not so sure that from all the variety it will turn out exactly the tea that I make.
My species of sage is: Dry steppe sage (Latin Salvia tesquicola)

What are your hopes or fears connected with?
The salvia you mean (lat. Sálvia divinórum), fortunately, is not cultivated here, "chemistry" is like mud for lovers of such means.
Radushka
Yuri KI'm joking so ...
I never made it to the meadow, and now everything has dried up to the stone ground. And my clary sage last season did not convince me to continue letting it into tea. So it sits. It's a pity to uproot. Blooms / bloomed beautifully
Yuri K
Radushka, that's why I indicated the exact name of the subspecies that I tested because:

How others will behave is also a secret for me. But very curious! Now I will also know that nutmeg is not suitable!
Yuri K
This tea was the main one all the time, two three-liter cans are gone already. Not enough until spring. One and a half liter had to be mixed with strawberries and blackberries in order to stretch until spring
Elena_Kamch
Yuri K, the recipe is really a masterpiece! Especially the descriptions of the cooking are good!

And the avatar is cool! Cheburashka from my childhood


It’s a pity, I don’t have the chance to make such tea in the near future. You won’t find an apple tree in the afternoon with fire, but there’s definitely no sage
But I feel the tea is delicious!
I prepared raspberries according to the recipe Welcome And Ivan-tea is all different
Yuri K
Elena_Kamch, but here Ivan you will not find tea with fire during the day. Let's change this season. I'll send you sage, and you will Ivanka, barter

Yuri K, interesting idea! I agree beforehand
Yuri K
Elena_Kamch, I'm very glad if everything works out!
Elena_Kamch

The main thing for me is that the Ivan-tea season is a success. I don’t go to the forest alone (bears), but it’s not always possible to find guards
But let's hope everything goes well!

Yuri K
Elena_Kamch, well, you have real nature there! Not like here, steppes and steppes And even then, wild boars have got into the habit of wielding mushrooms, when I go - almost pits are dug around. Amazing, and it is within the city (conventionally)!
Elena_Kamch
Quote: Yuri K

it is real and wild

(they will eat there, then they will bite there)


I want some tea! So we have to look for opportunities to collect clean raw materials, and not in the city.
And somehow I collected sage in the mountains of Kazakhstan! What an incomparable aroma (and like everything that grows there).
In your area, the aromas are no worse, I think. The sun is doing its job

This is what I don’t know, I’m better off talking about sage. I picked a variety that is wonderful in the tea process, but many tried to do it from others - they wrote in a general topic that some kind of nonsense ... I didn’t try others, we have how the weed grows in the steppes exactly one or two species, wild. The sun in our area cannot be called another, it incinerates everything by the end of June. I remember when I was studying, they gave us statistics on solar radiation and the number of days. So our region was in second place in these cases after the southern territories of Russia. Only in the south the climate is mild, but we have a sharply continental It was not for nothing that our city was exiled in the past centuries

It often happens in Kazakhstan
And sage there is very similar in appearance to your photos. And apple trees are a lot ...

Conditions are similar for growth. So the species of dry-steppe sage grows, even the name speaks for itself
Radushka
I read and envy!
But, I also have something to brag about! Tea mix from the garden with the addition of 10% fireweed 2016 - BOMB!
Gone is everything that betrayed an inadvertent origin in him, so to speak. Taste-aroma ... of elite black tea! Well, there is no astringency, really. This season, if it works out / my Ivanushka survives, I will make a mix of garden ones with alder and fireweed.
Yuri K
Radushka, each of us has something to envy from others. I was given a black currant with an opportunity, in our country it has long died out everywhere in the region - it was struck for many years by some kind of disease, for which no effective remedy has yet been invented. Fireweed already from Togliatti with truckers passed, he himself only once went for him with a friend to Bashkiria, and then on a tip to the place of Alder did not find it in the last season yet. So that....
The next season, already knowingly, I will purposefully already procure. Of course, I will focus on sage available to me, mint along the river bank, pear, apple tree, blackberry, cherry and of course autumn blackberries I will wait!
I am silent about pine mixes, I will definitely do it, but it will be possible to create it at any time.
Not to miss the blooming of either a rose or a rose hip, which he collected for the "Pink Dance" that season, here's another challenge!
Radushka
Yuri K, yes, it's a pity that there is no black currant! Mix of currants + garden strawberries / strawberries + lemon basil came out very tasty and aromatic
Yuri K
Radushka, nothing, we'll think of something! By the way, you need to brew currants, otherwise I hid it more reliably behind the main banks, and I forgot what to eat
Elena_Kamch
Quote: Yuri K
Radushka, each of us has something to envy from others
Yuri K, exactly!
I haven't made any definite conclusions about our fireweed ... Although, maybe, fireweed, or maybe the pens are not from there ...
For several years I have been harvesting it and never once did I hear the desired aroma during fermentation. That sour in my aroma and that's it! And they write that this is wrong ... I tried to ferment in different ways. In the end, I did not become fanatical, I do as I do. Everyone likes tea, and okay. But I myself think, maybe in our area, because of the high humidity, something happens in the plant. was subtle, in contrast to more southern places (according to reviews that wrote about cherry tea).
Yuri K
Quote: Elena_Kamch
and I never heard the desired aroma during fermentation. That sour in my aroma and that's it!
Individual perception is possible. And perhaps a gap in the technology familiar to members of the forum. It is in the fireweed aroma, in contrast to other scents, that I have sourness, notes, that is, I have not even felt even close during fermentation. Although the process itself is nothing more than a kind of fermentation.
But the specific sourness in the taste jars me. Because of this, he instantly gave up on fireweed teas from mass-product manufacturers. I tried several quite famous ones, gave everything to my friends, brrr.

: girl-th: suddenly it is present in my tea ... Then I won't send much

Elena_Kamch, Well, this is not soon, while we are only dreaming of a new season
Elena Kadiewa
Elena_Kamch, Lenusik, I've already made sure that fireweed depends on the place of growth! In Strezhevoy IMMEDIATELY there is a floral aroma, density and richness from raw materials, but here, in Altai, I found a tiny clearing of him, moreover, she muffled her neighbor with searches (God grant him health and patience with me!), But Ivanushka is completely different .. . and dead, and there is no such aroma ... on New Year's Eve went to her, opened a jar of tea 16 years old, almost choked with saliva from the aroma! And there Ivanushki is 30 percent ...
There are apple trees, yes, but I haven't understood it yet ... except for the color. And the cherry does not "stink" as Radushka says ...
Radushka
Elena Kadiewa, you quote
I have no opportunity to add fireweed in a noticeably large amount. Here and 10% I collect a piece of paper (in the literal sense of the word). If I had not seen the size of the leaves of that Ivanushka that they sent me for planting, I would have decided that these are different plants!
But, in reality, these 10% change the taste and aroma of the finished tea!
I have different garden apple trees. White filling gives the most turbid infusion. Autumn varieties are already better. And their aroma-taste is much more pleasant. But, the best is the wild from the forest. It is a pity that by the end of summer everything there is already eaten away by pests. I collect the leaves as soon as they unfold and grow. I think it would be better closer to autumn.
The mix of pear, raspberry and black alder turned out to be very successful! True, I did not float raspberries. I will probably soar this season.
And by the way, I no longer have mixes with fermented rose petals! ENDED! and how long to wait until the new tea!
Elena_Kamch

Elena Kadiewa, Helen, thank you, confirmed my thoughts
But I still like my tea. Yes, and everyone whom she gave is happy.

Elena_Kamch
Elena Kadiewa, Lena, and sage grows in Altai? Such as in this recipe.
Elena Kadiewa
I don’t know, Len. I am still alone, so I study the surroundings only when the neighbors pick up somewhere, and there is not enough time. The house and the neglected area require time and a lot of effort.
But there is no alder, the locals said, but I still tried it - Lina-Snegurochka sent it!
Elena_Kamch
Quote: Elena Kadiewa
A house and a neglected plot take time and a lot of effort
It is yes
But you can ask the universal mind if you have a chance to make a sage sonata (apple trees are definitely available)
Elena Kadiewa
I have many other questions for him, more important than - alas, tea ...
Yuri K

I will be surprised if there is no Altai is the main granary of all the herbs of the country. What you do not have there. In the spring, when everything starts to bloom, you need to drive through the fields, look, smell, consult with Google

Radushka
Yuri K, with the spring, so to speak!
Here it falls asleep with snow so that the doors could not be opened if they opened out!
