8. Brew the tea in the teapot with boiling water from the water reservoir (see the “Operation”
chapter – “Operating the Discharge Tap”).
9. Place the teapot back on 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”.
10. After the required infusion time, take the tea strainer out of the pot.
11. 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.
The teapot can also remain on the water reservoir after the infusion time while the device is
in operation. This keeps the tea hot.
Green Tea
Green tea can also be made using the samovar. However, it should not be brewed using boiling
water. Depending on the variety, the ideal temperature is 50 – 70°C. The higher quality the tea, the
lower the optimum water temperature. The infusion time also differs depending on the quality of
the tea. Most varieties need to infuse for roughly 1 – 3 minutes. High-quality green tea only needs
to infuse for around 1 – 1½ minutes.
In the case of tea bags, it is essential to note the manufacturer’s preparation instructions.
Proceed as follows to make green tea:
1. Pour water into the water reservoir (
5
) (see the “Operation” chapter – “Filling the Water
Reservoir”).
2. Fill the tea strainer (
1
) in the teapot (
2
) with tea leaves (approx. one teaspoon per cup) or tea
bags (approx. 1 tea bag for 1 – 2 cups).
Green tea generally has a lower concentration than black tea. Roughly 1 g is added to
100
b
ml of water or 1 heaped teaspoon is added to 200 ml of water.
3. Place on and close the lid (
15
).(see the “Operation” chapter – “Removing / Attaching the Lid”).
4. Place the teapot on the lid. This will preheat the teapot while the water is boiling.
5. The cups are also preheated by being
fi
lled with warm water.
6. Turn the control dial (
6
) to the highest temperature (
) to switch on the device and start
boiling the water. The heating control lamp
(
11
) lights up.
7. As soon as the water boils, turn the control dial down to
and allow the water to cool
down for approx. 5 – 6 minutes.
8. Take the teapot off the water reservoir.
9. Brew the tea in the teapot with warm water from the water reservoir (see the “Operation”
chapter – “Operating the Discharge Tap”).
