Used like a tea cosy to draw tea. Part of tea-equipage.
Tea-pot
Tea-pot must be hot before use. Put some tea into the tea-pot, then add boiling water from the samovar (only half full of tea-pot). Draw tea under the tea-doll for 3-5 minutes. Add water from the samovar into tea-pot.
Samovar (tea-kettle)
Used like a tea-kettle at the traditional Russian tea-party. Modern samovars may be electric. Antique samovars boil water by burn chips of wood or pine-cones in a samovar-stove.
Tea cups
Pour some tea from the tea-pot, then add hot water from the samovar. Add sugar to taste. Put one piece of sliced lemon if you wish.
