when I was a kid and spent long warm summers at my grandmother’s
house in a small Russian village. First, you fill the samovar -a very large
and elaborately decorated electric kettle (which originally was fueled by
wood coals and kindling) with water and let it boil. Second, you take a
small teapot painted with flowers or roosters or ballet dancers and put a
generous portion of loose black tea leaves in it and pour hot water from
the samovar to fill the pot to the brim. And then you place the pot on
top of the samovar, on a special little pedestal, just like a star on top of a
Christmas tree. Every time you want a fresh cup of tea, you add a bit of
“zavarka” to your cup, and then add some hot water from the samovar.
