Tea "fireweed" (or "Ivan-tea")

I have a very useful recipe))), it is difficult to overestimate the beneficial properties of this herb. This tea was drunk by our grandmothers !!!

Ingredients

• black tea
• 2000 g

Directions

1. I must say right away that there is no black tea in the composition !!! I have not found a suitable ingredient in the composition !!!!!! Composition-100% fireweed leaves !!!!!!
2. The process is very lengthy, but very interesting. It is necessary to pick leaves of fireweed, only clean, good leaves !!!! Weather permitting (June-July), in the middle of the day, when the sun is shining and there is no rain! With nice mood!!!!
3. Bring the leaves home and leave in a bag for 2-3 hours.
4. After 2 hours, the leaves must be beaten off or crushed (like cabbage).
5. Take a handful and twist it between your palms.
6. Store tightly in a jar.
7. Cover with a plate and set aside for two days in a dark place (for fermentation).
8. Two days later, you can see such a picture.
9. Take out each twist and chop.
10. Put on a drying surface (I have a dryer) and send to dry.
11. I dried for 8 hours at 48 *.
12. Transfer to storage bags.
13. And enjoy healthy tea at any time!
