Pour boiling water from the water tank
‹
over the tea.
NOTE
► The more tea leaves or tea bags and
the less water you fill into the teapot,
the stronger the tea concentrate will
be (professionals enjoy an infusion
with approx. 3 g for 200 ml of water).
It is preferable to use slightly more tea
so that a real concentrate is produced
in the teapot.
Place the teapot with the tea concen-
‹
trate on the water tank again. The
steam rising from the water tank keeps
the tea in the teapot at exactly the tem-
perature it needs to "steep".
After the desired steeping time, serve
‹
the tea from the teapot.
Pour the tea concentrate from the
‹
teapot into your glass and top up with
water from the water tank. This allows
you to adjust the strength and taste of
your tea.
You can leave the teapot standing on
‹
the water tank while the appliance is in
operation so that you can add hot tea
and hot water at any time.
Turn the rotary knob to intermittent boil-
‹
ing (see section Intermittent boiling,
page 21) so that the water remains hot
but does not continually boil. The indi-
cator light switches on and off in line
with the thermostat cycle.
Green tea
Green tea can also be brewed in the Samo-
var. It should not normally be infused with
boiling water since it may then taste slightly
bitter. Depending on the type, the ideal wa-
ter temperature is between
50 °C – 70 °C. Most green teas develop
their optimum taste at around 65°C. The
higher the quality of the green tea, the lower
the optimum water temperature. The high-
est quality teas are brewed with hot water at
a temperature of approx. 65°C.
Normal green teas need to steep for ap-
proximately 1 - 3 minutes, whereas high-
quality green teas only need to steep 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 specify the strength of the concentra-
tion yourself.
To brew green tea, proceed as follows:
Boil the water in the water tank (see
‹
section Heating water, page 21).
Warm up the cups by filling them with a
‹
little hot water (the teapot was already
warmed up by placing it on the water
tank during the boiling process).
Turn the rotary knob (6) down a little
‹
(according to the type of tea) and allow
the water to cool down slightly (roughly
5 – 6 minutes).
