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

I would also include mint in the group "do not dry, do not freeze, do not ferment". But I withered it a little)) The granules turned out to be good, besides, I put them right in the dryer, without frying.
The smell of mint was very strong all day, I even got tired of it.

At the expense of the leaf after the freezer, I just said on the last page that my apple tree behaved badly in my hands when twisting and "springy". So I dried up the last batch well and put it in the freezer. As the time will be, I'll get it and try to twist it. But it curled better even before the freezer.

I forgot to say about the grill for beef stroganoff - I probably thought so much about it that I already think I saw it. It will be brought to me from the city only in a week, I will definitely tell you about its use.

PS - I liked to go for the leaves with a basket, but since other leaves can get caught, I additionally take a couple of bags)

And another question - at what stage is it better to fry the leaf? after withering? or skip withering?

granulated I made the first batch of Ivan-tea I don't like granulated anymore, the leaf makes me happy

Ha, I am the same as Ivanov and I also love only sheet

But a month ago I was a normal person

Mary Popinns, we were all like that, at least that's how we perceived ourselves! I had a lot of hobbies in my life and now I have, but this has never happened to me !!
Girls, can you hear boasts from you: how much tea does anyone have ??? To what extent are you doing it?

In the recipe, I divided all the flavors into 3 groups - 1. those that are dry, 2. those that are freezing, and 3. those that are not dry, do not freeze, do not ferment.

Lyudochka, for not having free time, poke your nose where you can read it?

Lyudochka, for not having free time, poke your nose where you can read it?

I'm not Lyudochka, but I'll stick
on the first page of the topic, the very first post
there is a lot of text, some of which is broken down into paragraphs one-two-three

Thanks Not Lyudochka

Girls, can you hear boasts from you: how much tea does anyone have ??? To what extent are you doing it?

Checkmark, I haven't counted yet. There are boxes in the mezzanine. I try to do more.

[IvaNova]

I'm not Lyudochka, but I'll stick

IvaNova, Thanks for answering ! It is there in the recipe. I will add links, formulate it more clearly.

I try to do more.

aaaaa .. in the recipe itself, ATP)))
here you, beauties, are running through the fields, here and there, and I sit in the office and rejoice for you and mentally twist everything myself, twirl and dry
(time to retire)
Lyudochkin, is the mezzanine big?

[Mary Poppins]

I would also include mint in the group "do not dry, do not freeze, do not ferment". But I withered it a little)) The granules turned out to be good, besides, I put them right in the dryer, without frying.

Mary Poppins, well, yes, I still have it in the recipe on the first page (group 3). Although the last time I still withered it a little. Better then twisted in a meat grinder, without scattering.

And another question - at what stage is it better to fry the leaf? after withering? or skip withering?

In the link to Red tea production you can read about it in detail. The production of red tea consists of the following processes: withering, rolling, fermentation, toasting, secondary rolling and drying. Ie.after fermentation, fry the leaves, then twist them again, and then dry them.

and the mezzanine is big?

Standard, from a two-door wardrobe.

That is, after fermentation, fry the leaves, then twist them again, and then dry them.

wow, what a technology! But as far as I understand, Chinese red tea in our concept is black?

But as far as I understand, Chinese red tea in our concept is black?

Nope, we didn't even drink that (at least most of us)! The Chinese produce it for themselves, loved ones. This is the middle between green and black. But simple mixing of green and black tea will not give the result that the technology of producing red tea gives.

intrigued me once again, I'll go read

PS - I liked to go for the leaves with a basket, but since other leaves can get caught, I additionally take a couple of bags)

And I go with linen bags or with pillowcases (depending on the estimated volumes), I immediately cling 2 - 3 to the belt and in each - different leaves (flowers). The main thing is, until the hand reaches automatism, not to get confused (although, then they immediately - in the "village").

And the other day I made tea from forest raspberries. I collected it for a long time and pushed it into the freezer, probably 2 weeks flew by until my hands reached it. But, contrary to Lyuda's warnings, after the freezer she twisted it into a meat grinder (again due to lack of time, well, and a little laziness). The granules did not crumble well, after fermentation (about 8-9 hours) a fruity smell appeared, but not strong, one might even say, barely perceptible. I put it to dry at 80 degrees, then at 50. There was no special smell during drying, the granules finally crumbled into powder, and the color remained greenish (usually everything turns brown in one way or another). For two days I hung on the veranda for drying. Now it is infused in a jar. But I already tried to brew it and it reminded me very much to my taste of purchased green tea. Since I have been drinking mostly green for five years now, if I had not brewed it myself, I would not have distinguished it from green at all. Wait, let's see if that can change. Smell for example.

[Galina Iv.]

Galina Iv., I don't know by volume yet. Each time I get a portion of 200-400 grams. While I am putting it in bags with information, I will come home from the dacha, pack it in containers. At the moment, more than three liters, but less than six is ​​by eye. But I started late. If next year I do not go to work (I am on maternity leave), then I will produce a lot. If the neighbors don't mind, I'll collect everything from them for now.

And I also have many different interests))

lappl1, oh, I'll wait with red tea .. I glanced at the corner of my eye about red, but I thought that maybe somehow you have already improved the technology))

[Marina]

And the other day I made tea from forest raspberries. after the freezer, I twisted it into a meat grinder ... the granules finally crumbled into powder, and the color remained greenish (usually everything turns brown in one way or another). [/ size] [/ b]

Marina, I'm glad to see you !
Yeah, raspberry leaves will crumble without withering in a meat grinder. I want to try them like roasting them in red tea, maybe they will change their behavior. Only the rains and the garden do not allow me to do this ...

But I already tried to brew it and it reminded me very much to my taste of purchased green tea. Since I have been drinking mostly green for five years now, if I did not brew it myself, I would not distinguish it from green at all.

Cool !

[Mary Poppins]

I'll wait with red tea for now .. I glanced at the corner of my eye about the red one, but I thought that maybe somehow you have already improved the technology))

Mary Poppins, nope, haven't done it yet. But I will definitely try this season. True, it is unlikely that it will be possible to do this in fireweed.

Just get crazy! I will study the material and try - the leaves are just heaps of leaves.

[Regina V.]

Regina V., welcome to tea themes! Glad that the information hooked you!

Marina, glad to see you!

Thank you, Luda!
In fact, I regularly follow the process and new products. I dry, freeze, ferment, dry regularly: grapes are next. There is not always time to report and participate in the conversation. And already dried up well too. I, of course, are far from the "mezzanine", but I think we will hold out for the winter on our own.

I, of course, are far from the "mezzanine", but I think we will hold out for the winter on our own.

No, I have it not yet complete ... It's good that it's on my own.

Even I don't remember trying to make gooseberries? I collected it, wilted, and it has a strange smell of arugula, what can I do? I will make it included. I have a gooseberry hybrid, hospadyaWhat's his name, and yoshta!
Wanted separately, but few leaves and a strange smell.

Rada-dms did, but not one, but joint. So it's hard to judge what will happen. It seems to me that you cannot collect it for mono tea - it is small and prickly.

I have a large bush of it, and the leaves are quite large, next year I will try mono, and now I will soon be out online for a month. Lyudmila, I cut off the rose and twisted it with gooseberries, raspberries and strawberries almost equally; Duck, I got pink thorns there a couple of times and twisted it on my hip (why would people think, I did it not hand in hand, but hand on ...), it would be better on the board, only my hands would suffer, but my leg would remain intact and so everything went into action: vylezti: I’m finally lying around: swoon: how our maidens turn in large batches-HEROES, in a meat grinder faster IMHO.
Yesterday I looked after an electric grinder, a whole year to choose from, until the next tea season. I cannot now with my hands, my hands are very dry from the juice, who knows a good cream, for me a big problem is my hands.
Want to laugh? Our 88-year-old grandmother says: I don’t watch TV, I don’t listen to the radio, I don’t listen to the radio, I don’t go to the dacha - the skin wrinkles there; so I am mooooiHandles !!!!

[Oksan]

Oksan, well, you, give - thorns on the thigh! Tin!

I'm still lying around like our maidens twist in large batches - HEROES

Nobody makes large batches in a manual meat grinder.

can anyone know a good cream, for me a big problem - hands.

Oksan, once made a great hand cream based on propolis, honey and wax in vegetable oil. All this was boiled for about an hour in a water bath, then filtered through cheesecloth. All! Only I don't remember the proportions, I have to look in the old swampweed. But it's not very easy - not all the boxes have been unpacked yet after the move. Maybe paramed1-Veronica can help you get the right proportions? Do not doubt that the cream is great. The most interesting thing is that it seems to be greasy because of the oil, but there is nothing like it in reality.
And also find clay, make the chatterbox thicker on the water and hold your hands in it (preferably 2 hours). You don't recognize your hands immediately after the procedure.
Be healthy !

Prompt from the leaves lemongrass has anyone tried making tea?

[lappl1]

lappl1, I mean, he turns tea in large batches with his hands.
Thanks for the advice on creams,: drinks_milk: if there are proportions, write, I'm waiting!
And Veronica is also waiting for a review!

[supermam]

Tell me, did anyone try to make tea from lemongrass leaves?

supermam, tried several girls, but nobody was impressed by it. At first he smelled like apples, and then he lost the smell. True, no one has sustained it in dry fermentation for up to a month.

I mean, he turns tea in large batches with his hands.

Moreover, no one does large batches with pens either.
Oksan, don't miss the advice about clay. Dig deeper in your dacha. Clay should be. I'll tell you it's a panacea. I can tell a lot about her. The fact that it makes the skin soft is only one of its properties. Those who are engaged in clay toys and utensils never suffer from arthritis of the fingers. And the skin on their hands remains young until old age. This is not all. There are many more amazing properties.Here, almost in an orderly tone, I advise you to make a chatterbox out of clay and sit for at least an hour in front of the TV with handles in this very chatterbox. No creams will be needed. Checked.

It seems to me that you can't collect it for mono tea - it's small and prickly.

I add periodically to gardening.

Today I picked raspberry-apple-plum-cherry. So I was the first to pick raspberries, how they smelled in the bag !!!!

[lappl1]

lappl1, will be done, sheff will definitely do it !!
Omela, raspberries are very fragrant, I won all the smells yesterday.

[Oksana]

Today I picked raspberry-apple-plum-cherry. So I was the first to pick raspberries, how they smelled in the bag !!!!

raspberries are very fragrant, they won all the smells yesterday.

Oksana, here's something I have raspberries all the smells will not interrupt. Maybe because I add cherries everywhere? I'm not going to make raspberries with something more neutral ...

will be done, cheff will definitely do it !!

Come on, do it, while I’m looking for a recipe with wax and propolis ...

[Regina V.]

Regina V., welcome to tea themes! I'm glad that the information hooked you!

Good technology is rarely found in recipes.
People just need to throw something off the store shelf and not think with their heads.
And today I still have a profitable dryer in Yulmaot ordered.

[Oksana]

Thanks for the advice on creams, if there are proportions, write, I'm waiting!

Oksana, I’m unlikely to find my notes soon (if ever). Here, I found a very similar recipe in the internet. I did everything the same, only without resin.

Author's text.
■ 200 g of olive oil,
■ 100 g resin of coniferous trees (pine, spruce, cedar),
■ 100 g of natural beeswax.
If the resin is dry, grind it into powder.
Put all ingredients in a saucepan and cook in a water bath for 10 minutes.
■ Then add 2 tbsp. l. bee honey and cook for another 10 minutes.
■ Add 1-2 g of propolis and boil again for 10 minutes.
Stir the composition all the time.
Remove from heat, strain into a glass jar.
Keep refrigerated.
If olive oil is not available, substitute lard or fresh unsalted cow oil.

[Regina V.]

And today I still have a profitable dryer in Yulmaot ordered.

Regina V., congratulations on your profitable order! It will be a great purchase! For example, I can't imagine my life without a dryer!

[lappl1]

lappl1, yes, cherry certainly dominates all teas, as the main tone. The aphids have accumulated it from me and I do not take the leaves (I took one tea for a sample).
Lyudochka, even at the expense of red tea, I attended to: I twisted, wilted, fried, (I began to twist it a second time, and they dried up and crumble in places - maybe I need to fry with steam?) That I can twist, cut and set to dry for 20 minutes 150 degrees the rest 50. What do you think you did the right thing?
Thanks for the recipe!

I can't now with my hands, my hands are very dry from the juice, who knows a good cream

just don’t laugh, but because of the dryness of my hand, one mushhynka (he is a sculptor, hands dry from plaster, oh-oh-oh) recommended buying cow cream for the udder in a veterinary pharmacy (they say it is now sold in human pharmacies)
bought - softens with a bang
worth a penny
I looked at the composition - a cream like a cream, only without fragrances and with a lot of glycerin
after that, she began to do this: there is always a face cream at home that did not fit. I thump it in a jar and go to the pharmacy for oil solutions of vitamins A and E (in capsules) and glycerin (liquid). I squeeze out about 2-5 capsules of vitamins into a 50 gram jar of cream and drink half a teaspoon of glycerin. I mix and smear everything that dries - from hands to heels. additives exfoliate during storage, but this is not a problem. Before each use, the cream must be mixed and everything will be fine.

Oksan, I have no idea. I have not done it yet. I would not do 150 * on this tea. It is important to preserve the smell there. Did you fry for a long time? And, probably, with the lid closed, you need to do it ...

[IvaNova]

just don’t laugh, but because of the dryness of my hand, one mushhynka (he is a sculptor, my hands dry from plaster oh-oh-oh) recommended buying cow cream for the udder in a veterinary pharmacy (they say it is now sold in human pharmacies) bought it - softens on " Hurrah"

What is there to laugh ... Well done, man! Oksan, you see, you have already been advised how much ...IvaNova, Thank you ! I will copy your post to my computer.

[Oksana]

Oksana, about the hands. Clay is actually good. My dacha soil is clayey, I hate work gloves and dig in the ground just like that. The skin is in excellent condition, despite my 51 years. And in general there is a lot of good in a veterinary drug store A few years ago, my son, a veterinarian, treated me and the owners (there was a cruel intercostal space) of their patients with Horse power, which later began to be sold in human pharmacies. And udder cream is good too, even without additives, because they don't suit everyone either. Moreover, it is very inexpensive!
By the way, if the skin dries and peels off, the dermatologist ought to think .... Maybe something is missing.

[lappl1]

lappl1, paramed1, girls, I have lubricated more than one tube of this udder cream. And what is "Horsepower"? Don't know, cream too? Haven't tried it.
Veronica, after giving birth, laundry, diapers, etc., some kind of allergy was organized. I had a dermatologist, prescribed vitamin A and an ointment, which is nowhere to be found (the doctor said so); since then, 2 times a year, a course of retinol-acetate and I smear everything that is not nailed. Don't laugh, but I also have a nervous irritation if my hands are dry (like Freddy Krueger, it reduces)
And in gloves I LIVE at the dacha, without them I can not, I will die of nerves.

[lappl1]

lappl1, kept for 20 minutes at ~ 150 in the oven, then transferred to the dryer for the smallest drying. Just pen tests.

[Oksana]

Oksana, I just got it. What happened in the end?

Clay is actually good. My dacha soil is clayey, I hate work gloves and dig in the ground just like that. The skin is in perfect condition,

That's for sure! There are many useful things in clay. Well, here's a little information about clay from the Internet:

Clays contain all the necessary mineral salts and trace elements that the human body needs. In ancient times, clays were used topically for poultices and rubbing, and they were also taken internally to fight bacteria and toxins (absorbing effect). Clay contains a large number of mineral salts and trace elements necessary for life: silica, phosphate, iron, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc., and in a form that is very well absorbed by the human body. Clay absorbs toxins, excess acids and removes them from the body, completely purifying it. It has been found that clay has a strong antibacterial and antitumor effect, which extends to both benign and malignant tumors. Many associate that this is due to the fact that the clay contains a very rare radioactive element, radium, which in certain quantities plays a positive role for humans. It has been found that clay has absorbing (cleansing) and enveloping properties. It is a natural, highly effective remedy that normalizes metabolism and has a direct healing effect. There is an opinion that clay is even capable of leveling the human biofield.

It dries up, I'm doing this, making tea-on-line. It is still drying, I will pour it into a pillowcase, then I will write and show a photo. With cherries, I smell more nra-I don't like sweet (caramel-candy) smells

Sorry! I can't stand to know about red. Wait ...

Veronica, after giving birth, laundry, diapers, etc., some kind of allergy was organized.

Don't laugh, but I also have a nervous irritation if my hands are dry (like Freddy Krueger, it reduces)
And in gloves I LIVE at the dacha, without them I can not, I will die of nerves.

I have the same problem with my hands - I do everything only with gloves. A severe allergy to water and, apparently, detergents begins in the city. Sometimes dryness can be triggered by problems with the thyroid gland, then without hormone therapy you cannot cope. Therefore, a dishwasher will help at home, gloves in the country. By the way, I advise you to drink a sedative, for example Afobazol is good - just a course in the fall and spring - anxiety and nervous irritation relieves very well. At one time, during an exacerbation, she slept in gloves (C / B of course), smeared a thick layer of cream on her hands and on top of the gloves, also a good effect.

[supermam]

supermam, you made me laugh, do you know why? It's always cool at home, but I spent all my childhood and adolescence by the stove, so I always sleep in socks (woolen in winter) and pajamas, if I get sick, there is a scarf around my neck. Husband is always kidding - getting ready for bed - are you wearing an erotic kit? Imagine, now GLOVES will be added !!! He will fall
Ludochka, I'm sorry. I'll lay out the tea tomorrow, I don't know how red it will turn out. But: don-t_mention: what happened is what happened
