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

I have an ordinary quince, it turns out with Japanese quince, these are completely different things (I did not even know about Japanese) 🔗 ... My quince has leaves similar to apple leaves, but slightly larger and harder. We turned very hard through a meat grinder. I liked the tea, especially the color. I didn’t do much, so I don’t drink much, left it to stand, and then I’ll see how it changes.

[Luda]

Luda, Thanks for the clarification. Today we will taste our mini portion. But in this way at least I understood the process itself.
Today I collected a pear

and cherries.

Even in the frost, the currant lies)))

soon there will be one grass in our freezers)))) and our husbands will forget what meat is

soon one grass will be in our freezers))))

Galya! And I want to, but I can't do a sheet, because my husband clogged the freezer. So, just in case! Since there is no shop in the village, and he goes to the city for groceries not more than once a week. At least go to a neighbor with leaves. She has a separate freezer.

[Gulya]

Luda, thanks for the clarification. Today we will taste our mini portion. But in this way at least I understood the process itself.

Gulya, to your health! Good luck with your tea!

[RECOMMEND]

Lyudmilochka, good afternoon! And I liked the leaf more than the meat grinder). And you RECOMMEND still run after the meadows)

He's the most rustic. But we don't have a linden tree and I replaced it with a blackberry

Galya, it's good that there is no linden! I wrote that I made 2 batches of linden (with different fermentation times) and both times - a bathhouse! Even after 4 hours. And in the recipe I wrote that I hadn't put enough lindens in "Village". How I felt ...

Lyudmila, the meadowsweet tea turned out to be very dark, although my fermentation was rather weak. I'd like you to do it and express your opinion. By the way, I read today about the properties of meadowsweet, so it turns out to be a sooooo useful herb, although no one knows what happens to it after fermentation.

And I liked the leaf more than the meat grinder).

Good afternoon, Checkmark! I make tea in such batches (2 kg at a time) that in this case my garden will either be covered with a jungle of weeds or wither without watering. so only granular for now! I want to make a sheet, but there is no temporary opportunity yet.

I RECOMMEND all the same to run after meadows)

You should know where to look for it! And until I can handle the carrot, I can't run anywhere. Even, I'm hanging on this bed. And the currants are crumbling. I'm afraid that while I deal with the currant carrots, the meadowsweet will fade. This is if there is one. I asked the villagers - they don't know.

I asked the villagers - they don't know.

in different areas herbs are called differently, of course you have it !! Walk in wet areas (I recommend wearing boots)

I'd like you to do it and express your opinion.

Checkmark, I'll try ...

You will definitely have to come to weeding ...

I was afraid that the nuclear smell of meadowsweet would remain, but no! He completely disappeared, that's good! I compared it yesterday with Ivan-tea, these are 2 completely different teas !! But I realized that it was necessary to ferment this meadowsweet longer.

Walk in wet areas (I recommend wearing boots)

There are such ... River Vyazma, well, and all sorts of spring streams in the forest. Only there are wild boars and moose ... And rubber boots (after felt boots) are now my favorite footwear!

Only there are wild boars and moose ...

Lyudmila, here are the wild boars and elk sitting under the bushes and waiting for you. They are no more stupid than us and they themselves want to live, you have to be afraid of people in the forest, unfortunately ... Don't be afraid of anyone !!! How far I am, otherwise they would quickly run after this unfortunate meadow))) Yes, you don't have to go to the forest, it grows everywhere in humid places, along all the ditches.

You will definitely have to come to weeding ...

So I'm not a field. I'm pulling on ... It's my own fault, I had to do this before, while the carrot was small. And I am a young, inexperienced gardener, so I started the process. Now I'm toiling .. No, Checkmark, I will not abuse your kindness yet. In the fall, the potato field will need to be weeded. I hang there for a long time! So you are welcome!

On Saturday-Sunday, relatives will come to pick up wild raspberries. We must go with them. I am brave with them ...

I'm afraid that while I deal with the currant carrots, the meadowsweet will fade. This is if there is one. I asked the villagers - they don't know.

Maybe they know her as a meadowsweet?

Maybe they know her as a meadowsweet?

In villages, many herbs do not know at all or they call it their own way, in Vologda it is generally mead)))

[Galina Iv.]

Galina Iv., oh no, exactly my meadowsweet - under this code name it was sold, I have three of them - all the same beige flowers. And all the winged creatures hang out on them, I'll take a picture and show you, the photo takes a long time at the dacha. By the way, I still dug a similar plant in the field, but the leaves are different, like needle-like, so it froze out or whoever cut it ... Flowers are a copy of meadowsweet-meadowsweet, that's what I was wondering what was? I will come and look in the thickets of the International Federation of Journalists which tail is preserved
It got cold again ...

In the fields, meadowsweet is now actively blooming, irregular beige panicles. Look around - they are!

[Natalia]

Natalia, I told them this name too. Nothing, I'll try to walk in wet places ...

[Oksana]

By the way, I still dug a similar plant in the field, but the leaves are different, like needle-like, so it froze out or whoever cut it ... Flowers are a copy of meadowsweet-meadowsweet, that's what I was wondering what was?

Oksana, I showed such a plant in the photo. Galina said that it basilist... I have this growing nearby. It also smells fragrant. Here is:

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, well, how are your experiments with badan progressing?

As I expected, the badan turned out to be a difficult nut to crack!
I just put green fresh leaves on 100 gr. It's good that I beat it off with a rolling pin and cut out the veins. Then I rolled it into rolls and stood in a bowl under a saucer for 5 hours, I did not notice any movement. Then I remembered how Lyudochka had mentioned the glass. I found a ceramic cup with straight walls, cut the rolls in half and stuffed the cup tightly, oppression on top and under a hundred towels! Stood for 8 hours, did not heat up, but darkened! Tomorrow I'll try to brew it, let's see the color!
The leaves, which were semi-wilted, yellow, did not ferment at all in the rolls, maybe I could not crush them! There was some barely perceptible rotten smell, although there was air access, so I cut them, rubbed them in my hands until the juice was released and put them on a couple of more chvso directly on the drying. The top of the dryer heats up a little, after two hours I will start drying in the oven. I'll unsubscribe in the evening!
I'm going to pick quince and gooseberries!;)

[lappl1]

lappl1, oh, and I probably missed it, yes, I had such an identity, but suddenly I could not bear the conditions or the soil. And now I have the correct meadowsweet - I will come to the dacha fotnu.

Girls, don't you think that you need to remove the berries first and then the leaves!

And then Ostap suffered !!!!



Luda, thank you for your new hobby !! Now that's all I do. what I go and look out for - what and where can I strip.

Ksyusha, good health! This is the case, it is impossible to stop. Today I didn’t manage to pick leaves, so I feel like a truant!

And then Ostap suffered !!!!

Wow, I typed in different ways! And I even found a fireweed somewhere! Well done!

Girls, don't you think that you need to remove the berries first and then the leaves!

Oksan, you can combine! Just do not peel off the bushes too much!

Ostap No. 2 does not stand aside:
these are my today's rolls of 6 different leaves.
Immediately there was a smell "I'm out of my mind"

[Rada-dms]

I'm going to pick quince and gooseberries!;)

Rada-dms, most of all I wonder how the gooseberry was torn? Well, of course, everything else too, especially about an almost affair with a badan. But, in my opinion, picking gooseberry leaves is a feat!

how the gooseberry was torn

nooo ... this is not a feat, but a super feat !!!

these are my today's rolls of 6 different leaves.

Galina, familiar rolls! The same shaggy ones like mine! And I need to do this - with a black chokeberry. Better than a linden tree.

yes, I also remembered you today when I played them))
And this is my yesterday tea with meadowsweet
and tea itself

Girls, our light went out! Strong wind - probably because of this. So the laptop will turn off soon too (weak battery). Good night everybody ! Till tomorrow!

And this is my yesterday tea with meadowsweet

Galya, well, handsome tea! What taste? Well, I'll find out tomorrow, since the computer will turn off soon.

And I even found a fireweed somewhere!

It turned out that he was growing on my site in a distant dacha.

shl. we also have a strong hurricane .. all my beds opened up. (

And we still have a weak, but. I have already brewed tea in a thermos, suddenly the light will turn off '

And here is my today's tea from red currants, black currants and raspberries

🔗

Summer in the village, filming on the phone

My cherry granulated dried something very quickly ... I put up 100 * with the convention, opened the door ... After 30 minutes. the tea was dry. I left it for another 20 at 50 * just in case, and then hung it in a cloth bag and hung it on the loggia. Smells great! Today I brewed 50x50 with green tea. Delicious!

[real bedstraw]

By the way, I still dug a similar plant in the field, but the leaves are different, like needle-like, so it froze out or whoever cut it ... Flowers are a copy of meadowsweet-meadowsweet, that's what I was wondering what was?

It seems to me that this real bedstraw, picture from here - 🔗¬rykh-yavlyayutsya-krovoostanav¬livayushhimi-i-krovrsvertyva-yushhimi-sredstvami / podmarennik-nastoyashhijj.html

Is this such a Tavolga? : mail1: a little crazy I didn’t go while on the phone the link was exhibited.
This bush color is not blooming yet: girl_cleanglasses: because of the shadows. I also had a truancy yesterday, today I will catch up.

What taste?

Lyudmila, the taste of meadowsweet tea is very tart, without sourness with a barely noticeable pleasant twist).

This is a narrow-leaved basil, and Lyudmila really has other leaves. But I was confused by the flowers, in the bedstraw they are YELLOW at all.

and this is a bedstraw. Lyudmila, you have a task, take a picture of his flower, then everything will become clear.
I mean over the bedstraw and see that it is NOT a bedstraw at Lyudmila)))) Flowers seem to me different). And if you look very closely, then these are definitely basil leaves.

Is this such a Tavolga?

she, dear)

Girls, good afternoon! Thanks to everyone who helped me in botanical education. My husband and I went to the river and found a meadowsweet. Narwala leaves separately, flowers separately. I put the leaves to dry, as there is no way to put something in the freezer. I will do granular. I haven’t understood yet whether this smell is poisoning me or not. I will do it further, and there I will decide.
Here is a photo of what I thought was meadowsweet:

That's right !!! But I would advise you to remove the central vein, it is very hard ...

[Tashenka]

I got cherry granular dried something very quickly ...

Tashenka, and what kind of tea did you make? Granular or sheet? My foliage dries faster than granular. And, of course, convection plays a role. With it, naturally, tea will dry faster. And cherries, pears, apples, too, will disappear faster than fireweed.

Smells great! Today I brewed 50x50 with green tea. Delicious!

Glad you liked it ! And by autumn the tea will be even better!

That's right !!! But I would advise you to remove the central vein, it is very hard ...

Thank you Checkmark! So I'm on the right track! Okay, I'll take my vein. I tried to vomit without her, but it didn't work!
