How to make tea in a samovar

[@Horizon3165]

تشکر. My grandmother left her Russian made samovar to me when she passed away 33 years ago. She loved it. I have never used it since then and few people who saw it were willing to buy it for a good price. I was thinking before selling or given it away, to use it for few times in order to celebrate my grandmother’s soul. Watching your video has given me the courage to get it out from the garage, clean it and use it. I hope, it is still a good quality and it would be safe to use it! Thanks again.

[@animalnutritionist]

You're welcome. May your grandmother's memory live on forever and bring you peace and comfort.

Just in case anyone is interested, in Season 5 of "The Repair Show" a samovar which was a family heirloom was repaired. I found it fascinating which is what ultimately led me to this video. Never stop learning!

[@animalnutritionist]

Thank you very much for sharing this. Good luck

[@AndreasDuessca]

You can also heat the samovar directly, with kindling. Traditionally, pine cones were also used as fuel.

Thank you very much for the comment.

I was preparing some Turkish black tea and I've heard that I can prepare it with a "samovar" also, not just a double kettle. I looked it up and I've found this video. Such a cool technique. Thank you for creating and sharing this.

Thank You for showing us all of the steps to using a traditional samovar so clearly & so well!

Thank you for the detailed information. I would love to buy and use a samovar now.

[@animalnutritionist]

You're most welcome. Glad that you liked the video. Enjoy tea brewed by your samovar. Have a great day.

[@SoloBattles]

Thanks for this video! I developed a great fondness for Russian literature many years ago. Of course, they're always getting tea from a samovar. I've always meant to to find out how to use a samovar. Now I know!😊

Thank you for demonstrating how to cook tea in a samovar. My whole life I have been wondering how to use a samovar! Ever since I played with the decoration samovar my parents had in the living room. My mother has just asked if I would like to get it but it is with lead so it is only for decoration purpose.

[@V6Tdieselpwr]

That's great, my family love's tea! Since we spend our time mainly outdoor on our field this would be a great way to serve all of us tea for the day! Thanks for uploading this video Sir

[@animalnutritionist]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching! Have a great day!

[@gailwartell5398]

thank you! My family carried their samovar across Russia and Eastern Europe, then to the US. It ended up at my aunt's. Recently, I started to wonder how they work.

[@animalnutritionist]

Thanks for sharing your samovar's story. I have a similar story about my samovar. I carried it with myself wherever I go😊

[@dianaarab7569]

When u try tea made by samovar u'll never try any tea made some other way ...i love this tea 😋😋

[@animalnutritionist]

Totally agree with you😊

[@seththomas514]

I love this video! What is a recommended method of cleaning a charcoal samovar?

[@animalnutritionist]

Thank you for your comment. To clean the surface of a charcoal samovar, you can use tomato paste and scrub for a few minutes. It'll clean the samavar's surface very well.

Nice video. How long does the water stay hot in a samovar?

[@animalnutritionist]

It depends on how long your charcoals burns off. Usually it stays warm up to 1.5 hours but if you add new charcoals and water you can use it for longer time

[@aw-ye4kn]

bro what is the track around 2:45?

[@animalnutritionist]

It's a chimney starter. Does it answer your question? Thanks for watching the video

[@EFTusa]

I inherited one from my mother. Tested it for lead and it came out positive. Is there a way to remove the lead coating and re-tin it or use some other coating? I would love to start using it.

[@animalnutritionist]

Nice to hear that you enjoy using Samovar to make tea. I don't know exactly how we can remove the lead coating... but that's a really good question. I'll search for that and let you know if I find anything. Have a great day.

[@EFTusa]

I am thinking of taking it apart with a soldering torch. Melt and sand the lead solder off. Replace the lead coating with 95/5 lead free solder. It should be an adventure being that it was made in 1889. Then it should be fine to make tea. It makes hot water very fast and I want to use it without giving my friends lead poisoning.

[@aalishahira7686]

I like very much. I need Samovar from Bangladesh.

[@animalnutritionist]

Thank you very much for your comment. Samovar makes awsome tea. Good luck.

[@suesturges6022]

Are the metals used to make the Samovar safe to use? They have no lead or mercury? I have loved these for many years. Can you tell me where to buy? Thank you. May 19, 2022

[@animalnutritionist]

I think it's safe to use. You can find it from Amazon website. Depending on your location, some stores might sell it too. Thank you for your interest

[@blackbikerboots123]

Hello there, how do you clean out the pipe of the samovar where you put the coal once you are finished using the samovar and its cooled down? do you empty and remaining water inside, then turn it over upside down to let anything remaining in the pipe so that its ready for its next use?

[@animalnutritionist]

Hi. Yes exactly. First, I would empty the water by opening the water tap of the samovar. Since it's the boiled water you can let it cool down and drink it later as drinking water. Then, I would turn the samovar over upside down to emty the pipe. Have a great weekend.

Once you practice it couple of times, it'll be easy to care the coal. It worth to have a soothing tea 😊

@@animalnutritionist this clip very good teaching how to operate the samovar☺

[@typower9]

I liked your friendly voice, the images and information but found the music was annoying and unneccesary. Just having the natural sounds and your voice would have been better. If you used music due to traffic noise or other sounds you didn't want on the video, you could use quieter slower music. Thank you for your video. Very interesting and good information.

[@animalnutritionist]

Thank you very much for your feedback. I really appreciate it. Good luck.

[@erbajbaj191]

This the only one right way to make tea, no paper bags with unknown smellish dust, only leaf tea in a special small teapot using boiled water from samovar powered by firewood and/or coal.

I searched electric samovars in Amazon and found everything expensive like $150😢

I understand..... I found a cheaper one in Amazon: mub.me/hdH

[@animalnutritionist]

By the way, based on my own experience the taste of the tea brewed on a charcoal Samovar is way better than the one brewed on other types. It's more natural and tastes really good😊

[@kingo_friver]

@@animalnutritionist Thank you for the info. Samovars look cute like a kinda vases in Buddhism or Hinduism temples. I'm gonna dig around shops.
