Tea fermented from blackcurrant leaves
Ingredients
Step-by-step preparation
STEP 1
Place the collected blackcurrant leaves in a bag and put them in the freezer for a day. This is necessary so that the leaves subsequently release more juice. The next day, pass the leaves through a meat grinder. These are the granules you get.
STEP 2
Cover the contents with a damp cloth and make sure that it does not dry out. This is where the fermentation process begins, this is a vivid example of a natural miracle! Thanks to it, seemingly simple leaves turn into real tea with a unique taste. Fermentation can last from eight to eighteen hours. And here is the most important thing!!! You need to catch the moment when a characteristic aroma begins to emanate from the granules, similar in smell to dried fruit. That’s it, fermentation is over!
STEP 3
Now lay it out to dry. You can dry it in the oven at a temperature of fifty degrees, stirring occasionally. You can do it outside in the shade, just spread it out in a very thin layer. Another option, you can dry it in a slow cooker in the “yogurt” mode. After drying, put the cooled tea in glass jars , with a tight-fitting lid. Our tea will still ripen for one or two months, then it will reveal its berry aroma in all its glory!
