Normal green teas need to infuse for ap-
proximately 1 - 3 minutes, whereas high-
quality green teas only need to infuse for
approximately 1 - 1½ minutes.
NOTE
If you use tea bags, add the number ►
as specified by the manufacturer.
The amount of green tea is always less
than black tea. Use roughly 1 g per 100 ml
or 1 level teaspoon for 200 ml water. You
can therefore specify the strength of the
concentration yourself.
To brew green tea, proceed as follows:
Boil the water in the water tank (see
‹
section
Heating water, page 22
).
Warm up the cups by filling them with
‹
a little hot water (the teapot was al-
ready warmed up by placing it on the
water tank during the boiling process).
Turn the rotary knob to the (8)
‹
WARM
position (according to the type of tea)
and allow the water to cool down
slightly (roughly 5 – 6 minutes).
Now pour hot water from the water
‹
tank over the tea.
Place the teapot onto the water tank
‹
as previously described so that the
tea remains hot and continue accord-
ing to the instructions for brewing
black tea (see section Black tea,
page 24 ).
Herbal tea
CAUTION
Germs in herbal tea mixtures can repre-
sent a health risk if the tea is not brewed
properly.
Always pour boiling water over ►
herbal, fruit, rooibos and spice teas
(loose and in tea bags) and allow
to infuse for at least 5 - 10 minutes!
This is the only method for ensuring
that the tea is safe to drink!
Do not allow freshly brewed herbal
►
tea to stand for several hours.
In rare cases, herbal tea mixtures may
contain germs such as salmonella that
are normally killed off when heated over a
prolonged period. If not properly brewed,
they can become a health risk, particularly
for children.
Do not allow freshly brewed herbal tea
to stand for several hours. Although the
germs are killed off by the boiling water,
the spores in the tea can survive. These
can germinate in the warm water. Herbal
teas are brewed in the same way as black
tea (see section Black tea, page 24 ).
Hot instant drinks
To prepare hot instant drinks such as in-
stant coffee, add the appropriate amount
to the cup. Subsequently pour hot water
from the Samovar into the cup.
