Yuri Gagarin is beloved the world over and always was considered a hero everywhere!

[@StPetersburgme]

That is so nice to know!!!

[@michaelreece458]

Indeed he was.

[@youtubeaccount3834]

Yes he was

[@phil20_20]

👋🏻👩🏼‍🚀👍What did our monkeys drink? 😁

[@humanbeing1675]

I never thought that I would enjoy watching a woman in St. Petersburg making coffee and tea.. 😉

[@a.s.7803]

Really enjoyed seeing how you make coffee and tea! It is such an elegant way to make and enjoy both, rather than my boring electric coffee brewer and tea bag plunked in a cup of hot water way! Your videos are very interesting and you speak English very well. Thanks for sharing!

[@StPetersburgme]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@notesbyluna]

Lovely video. Im not turkish but my husband is and his mother always makes so good traditional turkish coffee. It's pretty strong and sweet but have a nice smooth flavour. She boils water with coffee and sugar together. One little cup of water for 2 teaspoons of coffee and sugar to taste (usually 1-2 teaspoons) and stir it together before she adds it to the heat. Brings it up gently to temperature on medium heat and takes of the foam that forms on top and adds this to the cup you will drink from. After a while some white foam show just before it boils, then its time to remove from the heat. Done! It takes a little time to make, but its worth it! :)

[@StPetersburgme]

Thank you for the recipe! That must be really good!

[@s.hakanylmaz8376]

hello, I am your new follower, you asked about Turkish coffee in this video. Let me answer as a Turk, the upper part of our coffee pot is wider, but yours does the same. coffee, optionally sugar and cold water are put in the coffee pot. It is heated until hot without boiling. It is important not to scatter the foam that forms on it. It should not boil in it. Then it is placed in the small cup, and the foam is placed on top with a spoon. Bon Appetit.

[@StPetersburgme]

Oh, thank you so much for the tips!!

[@k.d.9960]

You are so sweet and speak English so well! I remember my mom and grandmother sending coffee to relatives in Romania (we live in the USA) in the 70’s because they could not get it. They would send it with friends traveling there because they could not mail it. The Turkish coffee maker is so beautiful! I actually have the same glass tea pot you do! I use it as a decorative plant holder though, lol. I like to use tea bags in a mug but it’s a lot more homey and romantic your way. I love your videos so keep on making them!

[@StPetersburgme]

You are very creative with the teapot ))

[@ellendurkee5444]

Yuri Gagarin visited Nova Scotia and he stayed on the estate of my son inlaws grandfather in a place called Deep Cove. I've seen pictures of his visit. He was considered a brave and intelligent man.

[@johnriggs7994]

That was very interesting on how you went through the process of making your coffee and tea. I'm going to try and make my coffee with turmeric in milk to see if I like it too. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@paulwalsh2344]

Yeah ... spicy coffee really intrigues me. Thanks for the idea !

[@meatwad1]

Since I live in a small apartment, I don't want to waste precious counter space on an electric coffee maker. I use a stainless steel coffee percolator to make coffee on my stovetop. It's the same kind of coffee percolators that were commonplace in American homes from the late 1800's to the 1970's, except mine is much smaller than a coffee percolator a family would use. Larger ones can make as many as 12 cups but mine makes 1 or 2 cups. This is ideal for me because I live by myself. The 3-cup model that I have can be bought online for about $28.00.

[@finbarrsaunders]

Hi Kseniya, Thank you for sharing your "evening magic" with us ;)

[@hilarykruger4652]

I love the way you make tea, decorate with fairy lights. Definitely a must in winter months. I love watching your videos.

[@fabianmmendoza5611]

Wow! That tea looks good and the lights are simulating a campfire I thought it was magical 👍

[@olehippy13]

I was a kid when Yuri made the news and History...ours was John Glenn.

[@veronikab6424]

I enjoy your light hearted videos! Thanks for walking through the tea and coffee process.

[@lindaetheridge-stroud1502]

The give-away is such a good idea. You are a kind person. Most people will sell things but not give anything. Best Wishes for a lot of subscriptions.

[@patsymalone3518]

That coffee looks good. I like the tea pot and how the candle is placed inside the plate to keep the tea warm. It's beautiful how you place the lights around it too. Warm and inspirational ambiance.

[@susandevine3907]

I really enjoy your sharing of your normal, everyday life activities. It’s so interesting to learn what’s “normal” in other countries. Your apartment video is especially good.

[@46metube]

Cook coffee in percolator. Have small pot with two tea spoon of thick cream. When coffee is cooked heat thick cream. Keep stirring until hot, don't burn. Add a little hot coffee to cream. Whisk until creamy/frothy. Pour into your cup. Top off with coffee. Drink. No sugar needed. Beautiful.

[@michaelsaparito]

You can mix some chicory with the coffee. That way you can lower the amount of coffee you drink. Just dilute the coffee and add some chicory. 🙂 I've never had chicory by itself but coffee manufactures sometimes blend the two together. Give it a try.

[@cyndel4263]

Very NICE, Love that LITTLE Pyrex Tea-KETTLE the way you keep your tea warmed and fancy lights... Seemed cozy while you're editing your vlog

[@marystratton9769]

I spent two summers in Moscow and "Leningrad" the 80's. Loved my time travelling through the former USSR. Best tea I ever had. I still drink Russian tea daily. Coffee--sorry to say -- wasn't very good there in the 80's. The ice cream, on the other hand, phenomenal! I now use a French-press for my coffee.

[@StPetersburgme]

Thank you for sharing! The Soviet ice-cream was really delicious!

[@greylock1959]

I love to watch you talk about your life and how you handle your life.

[@doncarlin9081]

I really enjoy videos like this, it's always fascinating to see how other countries do things compared to each other. And yep Yuri Gagarin is admired and respected everywhere, and it was tragic his life was cut short.

[@nsmith4588]

I like the showmanship of your drink making. In the UK, at home, we mostly put water in the electric kettle, a spoon of coffee in a mug, pour on the boiled kettle water. Add milk if desired. That's it. I'm going to try spices in coffee now!

[@heatherjones4034]

My parents went to Russia in the 70’s and brought back the best black tea ever. They would put an orange slice in. So good♥️

[@nimbleebimblee]

I love the way you make coffee, I will have to try it! It reminds me of chai tea which is my favorite!

[@loriu8073]

Love the ambiance with the teapot. It looks soothing and calming.I love watching your videos very much.🙋🏼‍♀️

[@mikepascoe4120]

Just started watching your channel a few weeks ago.It is very interesting,thank you for sharing.

[@trishmalibu6986]

I like your WARM personality. You must be fun to see in person

[@SgtRocko]

Awesome video! I lived in Jugoslavija, but when I went to live with my uncle in Birobidzhan for a while, he begged my family to send a good Djezva with me. And 10 kilos of Bosnian coffee LOL He was high in the Party, but even he had a hard time getting real coffee. We drink a lot of tea... but old style... black tea, and the water is from a 5-litre heirloom Samowar our Olga brought with her from Smolensk. My uncle in Birobidzhan sends slabs of pressed tea for us to use. Again, thank you! And... Gagarin was my idol growing up!

[@LilRofl]

I expect that мелисса is Melissa Officinalis which has the common name Lemon Balm in the US. It is part of the mint family, and is incredibly easy to grow. Thanks for the video :)

[@donnabaham9777]

I live n New Orleans, La. US n u r right chicory is not coffee its a root, but we love it mixed n ground coffee beans, we have many local coffee brands that sell a coffee & chicory blend. We also love tea n the south, but our climate is so hot n humid when we have tea its always iced & sweet.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter. If YOU like it, that's right enough.

[@shanemcdonald5022]

Your videos are enlightening. I had no idea you live kinda like us. Day to day.

[@anya3844]

In english we usually call Мелисса lemonbalm because it tastes a little like lemon :)

[@berylmadison2363]

I enjoyed your video ..The way you like your coffee is the way we could have coffee when we were children ..lots of milk and a little coffee😁 I make coffee in a Mr Coffee drip coffee maker and I put cinnamon and ginger..Your tea set with lights is really pretty...I like herb tea also..Many Blessings ..👩‍🦳🥰🇺🇸💖

[@lidiaadobato7822]

Lovely video. I was amazed to see that you use the same coffee maker I have at home (not the Turkish one) and drink it out of exactly the same glass jug! What a good idea to spice your coffee. Thanks for showing us how you do it. I love the traditional Turkish coffee. The aunt of a friend of mine, who was from Dubrovnik, made Turkish coffee and after you had drunk it, she turned the cup upside down and read your future in the traces the coffee left when falling. Thanks for a most interesting video.

[@katrienvandermaesen5368]

Love watching you and learn abortus your culture

[@denisecampbell6910]

I am a coffee drinker, 2 cups in the morning, 2 cups in the afternoon....usually around 3 in the afternoon. Love your tea idea and I usually have tea in the evening especially on Friday nights. My husband and I are really enjoying your channel. Thank you for sharing St. Petersburg, Russia and Soviet Union/Russian history.

[@Mandalorian_of_Christ]

Like this video...i've only ever had coffee out of a coffee maker, but I've just ordered a coffee boiler to make "Cowboy Coffee". Can't wait til it comes in

[@IS-xk3iq]

So enticing; I got to try your coffee and tea recipes. Thank you much!

[@erinmammeri1058]

I have noticed in many countries teapots are used for using teas, here in Arizona we don't use teapots. We usually make in a pitcher, and drink iced tea. And if we drink hot tea it's in a cup with a tea bag.

[@camillef4166]

I love all kinds of coffee! Turkish, instant, pods, boiled, moka pot, brewed, espresso, French press, pour-over... I drink mine with milk and sugar.

[@gabesimmonds8421]

I mixed the water with milk than added coffee to the jazwa . It's much lighter than the Italian espresso or the Cuban jetfuel which both cause migraine to me. This way I can still enjoy coffee. Срасйба

[@ja_sweet_tart4539]

The tea looks delicious. YUM!

[@mikinaakwe9473]

I loved your Tea pot. Your flower tea blend is almost like some our traditional Native American teas. You can also use rose hips ( Google if you don't know what they are) in your Tea blends. Enjoy

[@vikinglaw88]

Just glad to see you smiling ☕😀

[@lisaclark6977]

I really enjoy your videos. The Turkish pot is so beautiful, actually both pots are very pretty. I drink at least two big pots of coffee everyday, lol and the tea I enjoy as a ice tea. My youngest son likes hot tea though. I'm glad I ran into your YT channel a few days ago. I've been trying to catch up with the videos you already have up.

[@CdnMystery]

That kind of small candle is called a “tea light”. I wonder if this is how it got it’s name. This is very interesting. I love you videos!

[@MichelleGordonMystty]

Love your channel. My favorite tea is what my mom called "Russian tea". She made it with instant tea with lemon, orange Tang, cinnamon sticks, and cloves.

[@StPetersburgme]

Thank you! That sounds like Russian 👍

[@personincognito3989]

Yikes

[@agirly1503]

I love the tea light idea! 😍

[@shirleypoteet3336]

I enjoyed watching you make latte’ & spicy tea. It is interesting to watch your videos.

[@larrykassebaum1926]

Excellent video, your English is really good and, I love your smile. I wish that I can send you some good Colombian coffee. I've never been a tea drinker ever but, I like my coffee black with no sugar or cream.

[@franktoledo6342]

Looks very good 😊😊😊😊nice tea may be healthy.

[@monicapresson7136]

Thank you for sharing the tea and coffee how to's. I enjoyed your idea of evening majic :)

[@kenyor2087]

I like your jezve. We don't put milk in our Turkish coffee, but it looks like you made a good job. I would like to try it :)

[@CHUCKEECHOOCHEECOO38]

Oh! I LIKE the way you make and present this video! (simple but yet, INFORMATIVE! (I hope, you will make more videos like this in the future) I also hope, I will be one of the 'lucky' viewers in KZbin, to win a 'giveaway' prize from you! Thanks, Ksenia! and take care always, bye! 😇 😇 😇

[@bazzakeegan2243]

Ksenyia, the tea that you brewed looks delicious! I bet it tastes delicious also! Keep up the great videos....You have a wonderful way of explaining subjects in English, even though you are Russian! Peace and love from the Republic of Ireland.........ps.I prefer my coffee, black, instant with some brown sugar.........

[@katiep2144]

Just started watching your channel and I really love it. I was in Moscow once but would love to get to St. Petersburg one day😊

Great idea about the magic setup! I will see if I can reproduce it at home .

Aloha to you from the garden island 🏝 of Kauai, Hawaii. I am drinking the most Starbucks coffee ☕ my is favorite, sometimes drinking very different the most in the coffee shop. Many thanks for the beautiful video. Bravo 🌍⛵ 🌅 ❤️ you are good making of the coffee. Congratulations

[@ninapitzel3090]

I like your magic tea service.

[@VerucaPumpkin]

I've had cinnamon in coffee before and it's surprising how good it is. I might try your way I think I would like it. Hello from Canada.

[@michaelperales2227]

The world is hooked on caffeine. I like Chinese and Japanese loose leaf green teas. Loved your video presentation on coffee and tea.

[@dabeeguy]

Thank you for showing how you make coffee & tea. It was nice to show the coffee pots in the store with prices.

[@MsGoddess4]

great video. I don't drink cofee but I like the way you make tea. I'm going to try it.

[@CG-sx3no]

Wow...thats how my grandparents from Poland drank coffe... 1/10 coffee 9/10 milk and LOTS of sugar....

[@michelecooper1486]

You are so lovely. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@albin2232]

Watching your videos always makes me smile, because you are such a nice person and always choose interesting topics :)

[@shafur3]

I love your tea set beautiful!

[@ericnorthman9410]

Interesting video, love you are going minimalist - I'm in the process of doing that. So you're drinking what Americans call herbal tea

[@koololdster]

Very interesting! I drink a lot of tea and have a tea cozy to wrap around the teapot to keep it warm. A cozy is like a little blanket for the teapot. I got this idea from my British sister-in-law. I am happy that you are getting more subscribers. Keep up the wonderful and informative videos. Thanks to you, I am becoming fascinated with your country and hope to visit it some day.

[@melaniebrown4947]

Hi Miss St Petersburg. Even though I don't drink much tea and coffee (I do have friends and family who drink them regularly) I find your video interesting. I love all you videos! Keep doing what you do! Love From the US 🇺🇸 🇷🇺

[@samedwards6683]

You and your videos are always awesome to watch. Very informative, interesting and honest. Great job. Keep it up.

You always manage to put a smile on my face, spaciba!

[@tuktuk3142]

I like your glass tea pot and it's hotting technique is amazing.

[@Arman-jx7hu]

Awesome video!! I definitely have to get one if those tea pots. I'm sure Amazon would have them. I live the idea of spiced coffee. I am going to try that as well. I think I would really like it.

[@lindalavino1279]

Hi. I just want to give you helpful tip for video. Large print clothes with bright cheerful colors come across videos better. Small prints are hard to see because our video screens are so small. Thanks!❤

[@catspece4933]

Wow! I really enjoyed this. Didn’t grow up around tea drinkers so do not drink often. The way you prepared makes it much more interesting to me with fresher herbs and fruit. Sounds delicious! And I have never had Turkish coffee. I will have to try! Am fairly new to your videos. Am enjoying.

[@heybug1091]

I love your magic teapot set up with the lights! Very pretty. ❤ Thanks for sharing with us.

[@beverlyfowler5420]

Like ur teapot!

[@teresanoel4035]

Hi from Albuquerqe, NM. Thanks for doing a giveaway, very sweet of you. See you in you next video.

[@MadlyinLovewithJesus-1953]

In the U.S. all my life I have had coffee of every way of making it. I have had my own coffee machines and different devices. I like my coffee dark and strong, with cream, and surprisingly (even to me!), my favorite way to make coffee is with a pot to catch the coffee, a "nut bag" for fine straining of nut milks and other things layered in between two different small strainers. I just pour the boiling coffee that has been brewed in a thick glass jar for at least 3-5 minutes through the strainers (OR coffee that has been brewed in cold water for some hours is just as good or better) into the pot. By strainers I mean fine mess stainless steel, just about 3 inches to 4 inches in diameter. Delicious! I have tried almost everything including many expensive devices and this way is my favorite! Who guessed? The least expensive way to make it, in my opinion, is the lowest cost way, though I do pay extra for ORGANIC coffee and have my own grinder to grind it. (Please no present for me, thank you!)

[@youtubeaccount3834]

No suger? By the way, the Turkish coffee pot works best with gas stove. You need to keep moving the coffee holding the handles at low flame

[@swellinsausage]

Awesome tea pot! You like your lights and stuff like me! Also, I have a Cory vacuum coffee pot. They work good for tea too. It’s something I use when the power goes out. Hope to see you on again soon, from Southern California. Thanks!

[@bebobopbo]

Lovely video as always! Thank you 😊

[@blueroadsroll]

Thanks for another great video! The lighting brought out the blue in your eyes very nicely and I like that dress you're wearing as well. The Turkish coffee pot looks really cool, and your teapot setup, with the lights and the stand for the pot and the tea-light candle, gives a very soothing (and yes, magical!) atmosphere. I'd love to see how the latte and tea taste, it sounds like they would be really good from what you describe.

[@theovanstaden5766]

Nice video, i like tea , here in south africa we drink it english style with milk and sugar!

[@l.antoinetteanderson3736]

Lemonbalm - herb used often in teas in US. Your presentations are very interesting and enjoyable. Like to see how the Russian people do common life, etc. - really some things much like Americans! Greetings from south coast of Oregon USA!

[@tanyahouston5635]

Magic tea! I use a tea cosy which is insulated covering for the tea pot.

[@frankschipani7682]

You like your coffee the way I do, weak with lots of milk. I prefer tea. The tea warmer plate is such a clever idea. I enjoy your channel.

[@Carlie_flower]

Lol instant coffee is my favorite for camping or travelling. It's just so quick and easy. I use the little starbucks brand pouches because you can slip it in your pocket or backpack and it's ready whenever you have some hot water.

[@guymerritt4860]

Ahhh - Yuri Gagarin, as someone else has said, is a hero everywhere....even here, in the US. You are so sweet - I wish I could send you a coffee pot! They are cheap in the US.
