I'm middle eastern, we boil tea. I have large glass tea pots i boil on my gas stove woth cardamom pods with black orange pekoe for large batches. I also make loose jasmine green tea in cloth bags the same way. What is the Russian method?
Cool! Do you do it in a saucepan or in a specialized vessel?
The Russian method is brewing a very concentrated tea in a small teapot. Then, after you pour it, you add hot water to taste. It's great for big groups because then everyone gets to have tea in their desires strength
That is really interesting. I make my tea in pots like this on a gas stove: https://www.replacements.com/china-pyrex-flameware-4-cup-percolator-with-lid-basket-and-insert/p/73242761?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shopping_feed&rplSrc=GPLA&rplSubEvent=151823&productTargetID=1492235020717&dvc=m&rplsku=25&gclid=CjwKCAjwqZSlBhBwEiwAfoZUICiDPISpdq_Bg1r23OX34mf_ZJjYObf8cRYDEFffQtkPCI_ALp6R4hoCVoYQAvD_BwE
Interesting, I haven't heard of using a percolator for tea.
After looking into how it works a little, it looks like it makes a strong brew!
