11. Brew the tea in the teapot with warm water from the water reservoir (see the "Operation"
chapter – "Operating the Discharge Tap").
12. 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".
13. After the required infusion time, remove the tea strainer from the teapot.
14. 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.
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 blends require an infusion time of approx. 5 – 10 minutes.
In rare cases, herbal tea blends 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").
