Herbal teas are made from forest, field herbs and fruits, varied in taste, color and aroma. Herbal teas are actually a food product, because they contain a lot of biologically active substances: vitamins, enzymes, microelements, organic acids, etc. This bouquet of biologically active substances has a beneficial effect on the human body, protects, prevents and treats many diseases, therefore, it is recommended to drink herbal teas for everyone, regardless of age and health.

The value of herbal tea also lies in the fact that it does not contain caffeine and other excitatory substances, which are not so harmless to the human body, especially for people with disorders of the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

Currently, many regularly consume vitamin teas. And the best vitamin tea is tea made from hand-picked herbs. Therefore, it’s good to know the rules for collecting, processing and storing herbs.

When collecting leaves (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, bones, etc.), only a few leaves are cut from a branch; if the flowering part is collected, then some plants with flowers are left to ripen the seeds (St. John's wort, oregano, mint, thyme, etc.).

Flowers of plants such as dogrose, linden, jasmine, etc., are harvested only when they are fully bloomed.

Leaves of black currant, blackberry, raspberry, cloudberry, bone fruit, fireweed (ivan tea), etc. are collected only when they are fully deployed.

Fruits and berries should be picked only ripened.

It is necessary to harvest grass in dry weather, as soon as the dew has descended.

The best time for collecting is the beginning of flowering or full flowering of the plant.

Dry grass under a canopy, in the attic or in a well-ventilated area, preventing its decay. Blackened grass should not be consumed.

Rosehips, barberries, blackcurrants and mountain ash, which contain a lot of vitamin C, are dried in a dryer at a temperature of 80 ° C.

Dried leaves and fruits should be stored in paper or cloth bags, each type of plant separately (can be stored in glass or ceramic jars with tight lids). The bag or jar should have a label indicating the name of the grass and the time of collection.

The shelf life of flowers, leaves and grass should not exceed 1-2 years, the shelf life of fruits and berries - 3-4 years, roots, rhizomes and bark - 2-3 years.

The flowers are brewed in a large porcelain teapot with boiling water. Fresh berries before brewing must be mashed, dry - crushed. Leaves are placed in hot water and boiled for 3-5 minutes or poured with boiling water.

The roots, stems and coarse parts of plants are finely cut. Then put in cold water, bring to a boil over low heat and boil for 10 minutes. After brewing, teas from flowers, leaves and berries are infused in a porcelain teapot for 5-10 minutes, and teas from roots and stems are infused in an enameled bowl for 10-15 minutes.

Properly brewed vitamin tea has a unique taste, aroma and color, all biologically active substances are stored in it.

The fees (composition) of herbal teas can be very diverse and depend on the taste and well-being of a person. It is advisable to always include one fragrant grass (oregano, mint, lemon balm, thyme, etc.) in the mixture.

It is not recommended to use two or three aromatic herbs in the mixture: aromas can destroy each other or mix into an unpleasant odor. As a rule, the collection should be one fragrant grass and several neutral herbs.

In the evening, it is better to drink soothing herbal teas (St. John's wort, Ivan-tea, raspberry leaves, peppermint, chamomile, lemon balm, primrose, cherry leaf, etc.).

In winter and early spring it is advisable to drink multivitamin herbal teas (raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, nettle, carrot, rosehip, mountain ash, barberry, sea buckthorn, blackcurrant, etc.).

In summer, herbal teas are made only from fresh herbs, this period of the year should be used with maximum benefit for the body.

If in the future you plan to independently collect raw materials for vitamin tea, then you need to learn how to properly collect it ...

How to collect raw materials for vitamin tea

Every little plant, leaf, flower - they are all alive! No need to become a barbarian and ruin the beauty. The best time to collect leaves of strawberries, Ivan-tea, blackberry is June-July. Leaflets should be fully deployed, and they do it when they gain full strength!

If you collect leaves from a tree branch, then do not destroy it entirely! To prepare useful tea decoctions, a few leaves will be enough for you, so do not disturb the life of the plant itself.

When you collect flowers, a few petals from the flower will be enough for you. Leave the bulk of the color to ripen the seeds for a future life!

If fruits and berries are needed for collection, they must be ripe. Unripe raw materials are completely unsuitable for a healthy vitamin drink. It can rot and it has not yet accumulated a sufficient amount of nutrients.

How to Dry and Store Vitamin Tea Fees

The raw materials for medicinal teas are very different, many herbs contain essential oils, so the temperature of their drying should not be too high (so the herbs will retain useful substances). At a temperature of 30-35 degrees, you can dry thyme, oregano, thyme.

But herbs containing glucosides can be dried at higher temperatures - 50-60 degrees. These herbs include mint, coltsfoot, St. John's wort.

The berries of mountain ash, rose hip, barberry, hawthorn can withstand and need the highest temperature conditions - up to 80 degrees.

It is better to store raw materials for vitamin teas in bags made of natural dense fabric. A glass container with a tight lid is also suitable for storage. Moisture during storage of this kind of product does not benefit him - the collection of herbs can rot.

Berries and fruits can be stored for quite some time - up to four years. But the shelf life of herbs and inflorescences is quite limited - only a year (in rare cases, two).

I am sure that any herbal drink is pleasant and healthy equally for everyone! I don’t think I made many discoveries by talking about simple recipes for making vitamin tea. And how after a good bathhouse not to try to drink a delicious drink ?! It's time for a tasty and healthy tea party!

As you know, everything new is well forgotten old. This expression is the best suited to the topic of today's article. The popularity of tea from the collection of herbs, fruits and flowers is growing more and more, and it's not just about fashion. Very often, those who seriously care about their health refuse traditional tea and coffee and switch to herbal teas. The motivation is simple: in "ordinary" tea, the content of caffeine and tannin is high - substances that stimulate the nervous system. In addition, few people follow the instructions of tea masters and brew tea leaves correctly - alas, tea leaves, which have stood for 2-3 days, are not uncommon in our kitchens, and there is no way to call such tea tasty and healthy. And children can be given tea only after 2-3 years.

Good old herbal teas are another thing. It was them that our ancestors drank some 500 years ago before real tea appeared in our country. Strictly speaking, tea infusion or a decoction of herbs, roots or flowers should not be called, because it is not made from leaves of tea bush. But we will not be too picky.

Herbal teas are very different: vitamin, medicinal, cooling or, conversely, warming, aromatic and not very, but in any case they are all useful. And most importantly - you yourself can collect and make your own unique tea, you just need to know some important rules. Going for the right weed, remember that nature is very vulnerable - do not tear everything out, leave part of the grass at the gathering place to resume it. When collecting leaves (strawberries, raspberries, bones, blackberries), cut only a few leaves from a branch, and you need to collect them fully unfolded. When collecting flowering plants such as mint, St. John's wort, thyme, oregano, always leave some plants with flowers to ripen the seeds. The flowers of jasmine, rose hip, linden should be collected only fully blossomed. Berries and fruits pick fully ripened. The best time for collecting raw materials is the beginning of flowering or full flowering of the plant. You need to collect grass in dry weather, immediately after the dew has descended.

Drying herbs is also a science. The collected herbs are dried in a shaded room (under a canopy, in the attic or in a well-ventilated room), until completely dry. Never allow grass to rot. Blackened grass must not be consumed!

. Herbs containing essential oils (oregano, calamus, thyme, etc.) should be dried slowly, at a temperature of 30-35ºС. This is necessary so that the essential oil does not evaporate.
  . Herbs containing glucosides (tansy, mint, adonis, St. John's wort, coltsfoot) are dried in a dryer at a temperature of 50-60ºС.
  . Fruits (wild rose, blackcurrant, barberry, mountain ash), containing a lot of vitamin C, are dried in a dryer at a temperature of 80-90ºС.

It is necessary to store finished raw materials in paper or linen bags, away from strongly smelling products, preferably each type is separate. Odorous herbs can be stored in glass or ceramic jars with tight-fitting lids. On each bag or jar, you must always attach a label with the name of the grass and the time of collection. Shelf life of leaves, flowers and herbs - 1-2 years, fruits and berries - 3-4 years, bark and rhizomes - 2-3 years.

Another important skill in making herbal teas is picking up a bunch of herbs. You can, of course, make tea from one weed, but who will refuse the opportunity to conjure over a teapot? If you use aromatic herbs (mint, lemon balm, oregano, thyme, etc.), then it is advisable to include only one of them in the mixture. Otherwise, aromas can destroy each other or, even worse, merge into an unpleasant odor. Therefore, the best option may be to mix several neutral herbs with one aromatic.

You must be able to make herbal tea. If you are making tea from flowers, you need to brew them in a large porcelain teapot with water boiling with a “white key” and let it brew for 5-10 minutes. Leaves can also be boiled with boiling water, or you can boil for 3-5 minutes, but many useful substances will disappear. Dry berries before brewing must be crushed, pour boiling water and let it brew for 5-10 minutes. The roots, bark and coarse parts of the plants are finely cut, put in cold water, brought to a boil and boiled for 10 minutes, then allowed to infuse for 10-15 minutes. Properly brewed herbal tea has a wonderful aroma, rich taste and bright color, and is also just a storehouse of nutrients. You can even say that herbal teas can be considered a food product, because they have in their composition a huge amount of biologically active substances: enzymes, vitamins, organic acids, micro and macro elements, etc.

All herbal teas can be divided into vitamin and medicinal. As the name implies, vitamin herbal teas can be safely drunk all year round anytime and whenever you like, but with medicinal teas you need to be careful. Such teas are prescribed by doctors, and you can drink them for a limited time. Herbs that are part of medicinal tea may have contraindications for some diseases.

In the morning you can drink a tonic vitamin tea, consisting of leaves of wild strawberry, angelica, lemongrass, lavender, leaves and flowers of clover, lovage, etc.
  . In the evening, on the contrary, you need to drink soothing herbal teas - St. John's wort, raspberry leaves, peppermint, lemon balm, chamomile, ivan tea, cherry leaves, primrose, etc.
  . In winter and early spring, it is good to prepare multivitamin herbal teas from raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, nettle, carrot, barberry, rose hip, sea buckthorn, and mountain ash leaves.
  . But in the summer it is best to drink tea from fresh herbs and leaves - this is the best time for “live” vitamins.
