6. Turn the thermostat control (
6
) clockwise until it resists to start the heating process
and to boil the water. The control lamp (
10
) lights up blue.
7. As soon as the water boils, turn the thermostat control down so that the control lamp
goes out (see the “Preparation” chapter | “Interval Boiling”).
8. Allow the water to cool down for approx. 5 - 6 minutes.
9. Take the teapot off the water reservoir.
10. Remove the lid from the teapot and pour boiling water from the water reservoir over
the tea (see the “Operation” chapter | “Operating the Discharge Tap”).
11. Place the teapot back on the lid of the water reservoir. The steam rising up in the water
reservoir keeps the tea concentrate in the teapot at the temperature that it requires for
“infusion”.
12. After the required infusion time, remove the tea strainer from the teapot.
13. Pour the concentrate that has been created in the teapot into a tea cup or a tea glass
and top it up with hot water from the water reservoir. This enables you to vary the
strength and the
fl
avour of the tea as you wish.
Herbal Tea
Herbal tea and other types of tea such as fruit, rooibos and spiced teas are made in the
same way as black tea (see the “Tips For Making Tea” chapter | “Black Tea”). Depending
on the variety, the different mixtures require an infusion time of approx. 5 – 10 minutes.
In rare cases, herbal tea mixtures may contain germs (such as salmonella) which are
killed off by being heated. Herbal tea must therefore always be infused using boiling
water. This is the only way to obtain a safe product to consume!
Herbal tea mixtures also contain spores which are not killed off by boiling water.
They can germinate in warm water. For this reason, infused herbal tea must not be
left standing for several hours.
Hot Instant Beverages
To make hot instant beverages such as instant coffee, pour the amount you want into
a cup and brew it using hot water from the samovar (see the “Operation” chapter |
“Operating the Discharge Tap”).
