I followed your method and made it for the 1st time. Smells like coconut. And the taste is very smooth no bitterness. A half a squirt of vanilla syrup and it was pure heaven. Thank you....👍👍👍
I can't wait to try this! Thank you! To help me plan when I'll do this, what's the longest time (in days) you've taken to go from the leaf harvest to the dry ferment stage?
Thank you! The minimum term is 2 days. Day 1 - all steps from harvesting leaves to placing on fermentation. 2nd day - completion of fermentation, drying in a dehydrator, packaging for storage. Don't miss the new whole leaf tea video - available today! Best regards, Figs in Israel
@@figsinisrael1043 thank you--I don't know why I thought it would take longer. I can have a couple batches dehydrated before the weekend! Now I'm even more excited to get started!
@@figsinisrael1043 so, today I tried to grind the leaves. I broke my mixer when the leaves wouldn't go through the largest grinding plate. my husband tried with his heavy-duty meat grinder with even larger holes, and it stopped up that machine too. What am I doing wrong?
@@ebee7707 Hello!. I'm sorry that your grinder is broken. I crushed my leaves on a Kenwood combine - everything worked out. It's hard for me to understand what is the reason for your failure. I collect leaves from the top of the shoots, where they are more tender. I cut the leaves without the petiole - it is too rough. I don't dry the leaves too much before chopping, so the remaining moisture makes it easier to grind. I try not to overheat the grinder while working, and don't put too many leaves in it at once. If grinding does not work out, try the second recipe for fig tea - large-leaved, from cigar-rolled leaves, details in the video "Part 2". Sincerely, Figs in Israel
I grow figs on a trellis in the form of a horizontal cordon. So pruning is specific to this case: ruclips.net/video/izijhcUf-nA/видео.html Sincerely, Figs in Israel
Hello! Probably the last step - drying - can be done without a dehydrator. Some people probably do it in the shade outside. But I only have the experience that I talk about in my video. Sincerely, Figs in Israel
Hello. I never thought about it, and here's why. Once you smell the leaf mass at the end of fermentation, and then during its drying, you will not want to skip this important step. Sincerely, Figs in Israel
Hello! The fermentation time in each case is established experimentally, as it depends on many factors in each specific case. If you choose it incorrectly, I think there will be no threat to health. But either the pleasant aroma will weaken, or extraneous, not very pleasant odors of souring of the mass will appear. Sincerely, Figs in Israel.

Do you have a video regarding the pruning if fig trees? I did not see that. Thank you

Just like to know you can cook tea with row leaves??
Because. We don't have the dryer

Curious, what would be different if you just dried the figs leaves straight off the tree? Skipping fermentation.
Hello. I never thought about it, and here's why. Once you smell the leaf mass at the end of fermentation, and then during its drying, you will not want to skip this important step.

Why ferment it for 18 hours and not more. Is there any risk of poisoning from fermentation? Thank You
