- teapot which sits on top of the samovar, where it stays warm. Russians make tea by pouring the
- tea concentrate into a cup or glass and diluting it with boiling water. You'll often be asked:
- «<span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Вам покре́пче, или
