Fermented tea at home
Description
The drink is prepared quickly and easily. To make this tea, you should gather raw materials from a clean area, preferably before the plant starts flowering. The leaves should be free from damage, clean, and dry. They must be passed through a meat grinder to break the leaf structure, which is necessary for fermentation. Make sure the material remains moist during this process; otherwise, the tea will lose some of its aroma. The container used must not be metallic. Fermentation is complete when the mass turns dark green. After that, proceed to dry it in a single layer. Store in tightly sealed glass jars. Good luck! It's ready to serve.
