10. 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".
11. After the required infusion time, remove the tea strainer from the teapot.
12. 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
flavour 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 concentrate 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 (7) (see the "Operation" chapter – "Filling the Water
Reservoir").
2. Fill the tea strainer (2) with tea leaves or tea bags.
Green tea generally has a lower concentration than black tea. Roughly 1 g is added to
100 ml of water or 1 heaped teaspoon is added to 200 ml of water.
3. Place the tea strainer in the teapot (3) and place the lid (1) on the teapot. It must engage
audibly.
4. Place the lid (4) on the water reservoir (see the "Operation" chapter – "Removing / Attaching
the Lid of the Water Reservoir").
5. Place the teapot on the lid. This will close off the water reservoir and preheat the teapot while
the water is boiling.
6. The cups are also preheated by being filled with warm water.
7. Turn the thermostat control (9) clockwise to the
start boiling the water. The heating control lamp
8. As soon as the water boils, turn the thermostat control anticlockwise so that the control lamp
goes out (see the "Preparation" chapter – "Interval Boiling").
9. Allow the water to cool down for approx. 5 – 6 minutes.
10. Take the teapot off the water reservoir.
