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

[Alla]

there are a lot of these trees in Kazakhstan, in Alma-Ata too. Look on the internet

Alla, so I went to Yandex-pictures and immediately remembered this berry and its name. Yes, in Alma-Ata I saw her too. Interesting! I'll wait for what you can do ...

[Sauyri]

Sauyri, Natalia, on Saturday at the dacha I collect leaves, put them in the freezer, before leaving I take out tightly tie the bag, while we go home they melt, sweat and already begin to ferment, we come, I immediately scroll in a meat grinder and put them in salad bowls for pre-fermentation, in the morning before work I laid it out on baking trays and dried it a little on a unit in the oven, I'll come to dry it in the evening.

Also a good way, thanks for the tip, I will write everything down now and I will work out tactics for myself

Made a combined tea - apple, pear, black plum, currant and cherry, almost all in the same proportions. I immediately froze all the leaves as they were collected, then thawed them at a convenient time, folded stacks of 5 leaves and these stacks in a meat grinder. The granules turned out to be good, strong, the meat grinder did not particularly strain. The smell turned out to be very interesting and the taste too, the truth was brewed quite fresh for testing. It will of course get brighter over time. In general, I liked this method more than just mono tea. Now I plan to combine raspberries with cherries, since cherries give good granules, well, I'll add something else, maybe an apricot.

The leaves are oblong, similar to sea buckthorn, only the berry is gray with fluff, it looks like an olive tree.

Hello everyone, good day to you! The first thing that came to my mind was silver shepherdia, but it has red berries.
Galina, Galina ... in my life I have never seen an apricot, a peach, in the sense of how they grow. I will tell you everything about the grasses of the north, middle zone, well, I will try, but with the southern ones it is not always (to say the least)

[Eva3]

In general, I liked this method more than just mono tea. Now I plan to combine raspberries with cherries, since cherries give good granules, well, I'll add something else, maybe an apricot.

Eva3, I also really liked this method. And why did I not think about him before. Now, too, there are a lot of plans - to try everything with everything.

Girls, I suggest we go further into the forest, let's get a little creative. Have you heard of Chinese tied tea? Let's try?
First, I picked up the young tops of willow-tea and lateral young shoots, it is ideal to do this in the spring, but now you can also find it.

We cut off the lower leaves, leaving only a few apical, the youngest ones.
We dry them.

We carefully fold it into a "sheaf".

Next, we take a thread and tie it.

I knead with a rolling pin.

And I'm sending it to fermentation. After that we cut off the "leg" and straighten the leaves. Note that this is a very delicate job.

Then I carefully bent all the leaves up

She took out rosebuds, meadowsweet flowers, chamomile, etc. from her stocks.

I folded them inside my Ivan-Chayev's blank, while the cuttings of flowers were pushed into the "sheaf" where it was tied with threads.

This whole ball of mine, although it turned out far from a perfect ball, I wrapped it in cheesecloth and put it to dry.

I frantically ran all over the apartment - what could I use to brew my magic ball so that you could see how it was opening ... I have no transparent teapot. I had to take a wide glass. I thought that nothing would work, but no! The ball began to crumble before our eyes, the leaves lay on the edge of the glass.
It is a pity that I did not have a transparent teapot. The picture would have turned out not at all bad.
Conclusions from everything done:
one). It was necessary to take more willow-tea branches so that this “sheaf” was thicker, since it was problematic to cover all the contents with so many leaves.
2). In no case will I add more meadowsweet flowers there (outright disgusting). (IMHO). Tea had to be poured
3). This is a great gift for friends !!!
I look forward to repeating from you, dear tea-makers, tea lovers! What are your options?

PS. Sorry for the bad final photo ...

I have never seen an apricot or a peach in my life, in the sense of how they grow. I'll tell you everything about the grasses of the north, the middle zone, well, I'll try, but with the southern ones, not always (to say the least)

Check mark! And I saw - I grew up. Come on, you will recognize us the northern flavors, and the girls from the south and I will recognize the southern ones!
Here are my Almaty peach and apricot:




Southern girls! Is your apricot growing? It seems to me that it should make good tea.

let's get creative a bit. Have you heard of Chinese tied tea? Let's try?

Check mark! Killed on the spot! It is a masterpiece ! Indescribable beauty ! An urgent need to do! But where are the colors to pick? My rose hips have just faded! And a transparent kettle urgently needs to be bought! Indeed, the most it is for guests and gifts! In general, BRAVO, Checkmark! I am impressed, so amazed! Thank you for developing our theme!

This is just an idea, and everyone will have their own embodiment! Lyudochka, I can advise you as flowers the dried tops of the same willow tea again (catch the moment until it fluffed up).

Well, about Ivan-tea is clear! And I want something else.

In our dachas, many still have jasmine blooming, some late varieties ... And my roses are cultural, border, they have small flowers. At first I nurtured this idea for a long time, and when I did it, I realized that it was necessary to dry it properly, as we make tea, then the leaves will bloom even more interestingly, I got a weakly fermented tea. Right now, I think, maybe something like a thug can be stuffed there

Now I will look at all the flowers, including the neighboring ones.
Check mark! I am writing to you with an official request! Lay out this recipe separately! Otherwise, this miracle will be lost in numerous villages.

At the request of workers, I posted about bound fermented tea in a separate topic.

You are welcome to me, come for a seagull
(went to put the samovar)

[francevna]

francevna, Alla, it is a narrow-leaved goose, or dzhida, a local name. A medicinal plant, and flowers, leaves, fruits, bark, resin are used. I think it will ferment well, there are tannins in the leaves. It should taste a little bitter and knit. As a child, she also chewed fruits, for which she regularly received it in the neck from her grandmother.

[Veronica]

Veronica, thanks, I found it on the Internet. I know that it is a very useful plant.

So I think it's not just that these topics about tea appeared. someone is directing from above.
Already after she began to treat friends with her tea, I read in the lunar calendar that all earthly signs: Capricorns, Taurus, Virgo in the second quarter of the moon need to drink a variety of teas and herbal infusions. So we are preparing tasty and healthy drinks for ourselves.

and in the first quarter of the moon - "air" signs, such as Libra?
We also want

[Ludmila]

Southern girls! Is your apricot growing? It seems to me that it should make good tea.

Ludmila... I dried apricot leaves of the Krasnoschekiy variety. In Alma-Ata - apricot, and in the south - perches. Neighbors grow, if hands reach, then I gather up. The neighbors also have prunes growing, but close to the road.

and in the first quarter of the moon - "air" signs, such as Libra?
We also want

No, teas are recommended for "earthly" signs, so that we eat less, the rest are already slender.

[francevna]

francevna, I can also eat less-am I a fire sign?

No, Lyudmila, have you seen they already dried DZhigitsDesh, and who should we catch in the North?

Galina Iv., Oh, what a cute seagulls, I drive them to Temka!

[Alla]

I read in the lunar calendar that all earth signs: Capricorns, Taurus, Virgo in the second quarter of the moon need to drink a variety of teas and herbal infusions

Alla, Well! And then what are we all doing here? Throw, perhaps, do tea? Well, no, I'll close my eyes to this information. Tea goes very well for me, although I have never once been Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo ...

[Oksan]

They are already drying DZhigits, and they are drying, and who should we catch in the North

Oksan,
Well, if only what walruses?

In our dachas, the mock-orange is blooming (in general, has already faded), it has nothing to do with jasmine (from the olive genus).

Thistle is a very famous plant for summer residents, a weed! And when applied internally - slightly poisonous; the roots and upper part are sometimes used in collections for the treatment of oncology.

[Matilda_81]

Girls, congratulate me, I bought a meat grinder. Many thanks to Gulnara (Matilda_81) for help in choosing.

Congratulations on your purchase, to make you happy! shikoko hazel grouse taka? Have you already tried it?

[Omela]

Omela, congratulations, Ksyusha! I have Zelmer - very happy. Plus a bunch of shredder attachments, etc.

[Oksana]

Oksana, Olgathanks girls. I didn’t take it with attachments as a specialist, I don’t need them in principle, and it costs more in a complete set. This one costs 3690 rubles.

[Omela]

Girls, congratulate me, I bought a meat grinder.

Omela, congratulations on your purchase. I'll have to try to twist it into Zelmer, I cut it with my hands, but I feel sorry for her.

Girls, do not take information about tea and the signs of the zodiacs to heart, I am Taurus, and this article just caught my eye.

[Alla]

Alla, Thank you!

but I feel sorry for her.

Well, I don't even feel sorry for my strength, but for the time. Well, it takes a very long time, especially since I always twist at night ... I take away from sleep. If it breaks, then it breaks. 4 year warranty.

I completely agree!
Correct forecast - nothing will break !!! OKKuratninko so exploit!

Zelmer won't break! For 10 years (or more?) I haven’t broken - and I drove it to the fullest, only this plastic thing has recently changed.

and I drove her to the fullest,

Thank you girls. Let's hope it will. Bo will drive every day now .. the month of summer remains.

the main thing Dzhigitov Do not twist sharply! you are still to the south, what if they grow too?

[Oksana]

Oksana, these leaves are soft, tender, and the turner is rough.

[francevna]

francevna, I was joking. Interesting plant

I have been fond of herbal teas for a very long time. But I don't bother much with cooking.I dry it in a cold bath, then, if necessary, grind the collection almost into dust in a coffee grinder and brew it.

[MariV]

MariVIf you do not ferment the plants before drying, then you get a herbal collection with all the ensuing medicinal properties, and in our case, after fermentation, the herbs turn into teas without their strong properties and you can already drink them Less thinking about the consequences. The girls wrote about it above.

Well, almost a month has passed since the beginning of tea preparation. We started to try already with feeling, really. Fireweed is beyond praise. Raspberries have acquired a persistent taste and smell of dried berries. He also went with a bang. The rest are not yet ripe. Yes, for some reason no apple tree ... Unanimously. I will mix with other leaves. Collected from three different varieties, everything is not very ...
Now, in the sweat of my brow, I am harvesting fireweed, there is still a whole bunch of it on the edges.
She treated the neighbors with bird cherry, irga and fireweed. Now I can pick off all the leaves from the trees on their site !!! Of course, I will also treat them with other teas from their raw materials.

[Veronica]

I treated the neighbors with bird cherry,

Veronica, And How? I also have one tree in mind.

[Omela]

Omela, I already wrote about bird cherry for a long time, "debunking" the beliefs of the people in its toxicity. At first, almonds, of course, smelled famously during fermentation, while drying the smell went away. We tried it for the first time the next day after drying, already liked it, such a delicate aroma of blooming bird cherry ... And now the aroma is more pronounced, with an admixture of honey. Everyone likes. I made two tea cans with a volume of 400 g each. I will do more, but later, when the fireweed comes off. Yes, I did sheet. I put it in the freezer, tried to wind the rolls, but they, infections, do not spin. And time is short ... I quickly cut straight bundles with a knife and fermented for 8 hours. Even the walls smelled like almonds ... Everything worked out. Try it!

[Veronica]

Veronica, thanks, I'll try then.

You can wave the flag in favor of the apple tree. Girls, you underestimate it as a mono-basis for tea, because not all flavors are compatible in one case, and in the other, if several (three or four) options are combined, and only one dominates, it is also strange somehow. It seems to me that you need to love her not only for her color, but also for her neutrality. And I categorically Demand Urgent o love an apple tree and redefine priorities - use an apple tree as a color base. Is it fantastic to have a beautiful rich color and hide the smell as you do? is my favorite apple tree rehabilitated?
(I will be kicked by atsedova) Sorry for the bias!

Girls, congratulate me, I bought a meat grinder. In general, here is my beauty:

Ksyusha, congratulations on your new assistant! I'm very happy for you ! What a beauty! And a strong 1900 watts! Let it work for you without a hitch ... Pleases you! And lets you sleep! You will see that now you will not even notice that tea is being made in your house !. Well, if only the aroma will give out ...
Well, now keep all the slugs around!

[Oksan]

I strongly require urgent o love an apple tree and redefine priorities - use an apple tree as a color base. Is it fantastic to have a beautiful rich color and hide the smell as you do? is my favorite apple tree rehabilitated? (I will be kicked by atsedova) Sorry for the bias!

Oksan, thank you friend ! And don't apologize! I, only a little less emotionally, wrote a few pages ago. I adore it, the apple tree! And not only for the color (it is, indeed, fantastic)! But for the taste too! Sweetish, slightly tart! I agree with the aroma - weak. I don’t understand in any way - I have apple trees, are there others? There are more than 20 apple trees in my garden. Took leaves for tea from all varieties. And from all it turns out delicious ...
And look at the voting ballot - the apple tree is among the leaders! So that!

[Veronica]

Now, in the sweat of my brow, I am harvesting fireweed, there is still a whole bunch of it on the edges.

Veronica, and I am the same - the fireweed is treacherously aging and fluffing! So there is very little time left, especially with such dry weather!

[Alla]

Girls, don't take tea and zodiac signs to heart,

Alla, yes we already forgot! Others are busy thinking - how to have time to prepare more Ivan-tea, while it is still in a more or less normal state! Now no one will force me to quit this occupation! No horoscopes, no weather, no circumstances ...

Luda. Thank you for your congratulations. Hopefully. which will not let you down.

use the apple tree as a color base,

Well, so I'm talking about the identity.

There are more than 20 apple trees in my garden.

Figase. : ovot is the scope !!!

Today I dried the blackberry, I really liked the smell. I haven't tried it yet, so I haven't voted. As I try, I'll mark it.

Figase. this is the scope !!!

We didn’t plant this - the old owners ... And the apple trees are 30 years old!

Today I dried the blackberry, I really liked the smell. Have not tried yet

Ksyusha, you will like it! Try it now in everything you can put ("Rustic tea" in any combination). She, like cherries, makes a very tasty and aromatic tea out of any nondescript flavor. Even in small quantities - a few handfuls of leaves are enough.

Hopefully. which will not let you down.

Well, we will hold our fists for her with the whole topic!
