So I bought this Russian tea off of Amazon and as you can see, it's a box, with a bag of leaves within. Sorry if I sound retarded, but what exactly am I supposed to do with a bag of tea leaves?
Ive just never handled such a product before.
I mean, I've used the coffee maker for it but I don't think I'm supposed to be using that for it.
What exactly do Europeans, specifically Russians, do with these tea leaves?

i think you gotta steam the tea leaves and drink the liquid that comes down idk how others do it tho so i might be wrong
>>73608119
Brew it
>>73608176
Am I supposed to use a samovar? Because I don't have that in my possession.
>>73608203
How do I brew it?
>>73608119
put in teapot
microwave water
put water in teapot
brew
drink
>>73608119
Traditional way, how we do it,
Dry the leaves in the sun making it in a crisp granules. And then boil it to make tea.
Or you can just boil the leaves in water.
>>73608220
Just do the same as if it is tea bags. However you have to either decant the tea afterwards or filter out the leaves
>>73608119
Ever heard of this thing?
Just make sure to put the right amount of leaves or else the tea will be bitter as fuck.
>>73608221
>water in microwave meme
>>73608208
damn, maybe you should try to grinding up the leaves into a powder with a coffee grinder and then putting it in the coffee maker
>>73608221

Fugg I don't have a teapot
/int/ coming through with the life hacks once again
>>73608260
Just use a regular cup, make sure the water is boiling hot
>>73608248
wha? how do you do it?
>>73608260
use a sieve or something, just need to filter the leaves before drinking
>>73608260
Use a saucepan, or any utensil. It'd work.
>>73608282
Just use a stove/boiling water. Putting water directly in the Microwave is not a very bright idea
>>73608288
Listen to the chai master
>>73608260
Well, technically you can put a bit of leaves in to a glacc/mug/whatever. Again, make sure that you put the right amount of leaves and be careful not to swallow the leaves once the cup is nearly empty.

Wait a second, you're supposed to brew tea leaves? I thought you chew on them them kinda like how there's chewing tobacco.
>>73608352
You can choose to chew the leaves in the tea too, but...
>>73608298
30% power, 3 minutes, leave the cup 25% empty. Microwave ovens are literally designed to heat water molecules. Though in the civilised world we have these things called electric kettles that are even better.
>>73608352
This has got to be a bait thread, nobody is actually this retarded and still able to make posts on the internet.

Thank you gentlemen, I am forever in your debt. If you ever need a favor, I am your man.
>>73608369
>tfw my electric kettle is only 1L
>>73608379
That isn't OP, I am
>>73608389
If you need more than 1 L of boiling water you heat 1 L batches in the electric kettle to fill a cooking pot and then boil it on a stove.
>>73608119
smoke it
that's all russian tea is good for anyway
>>73608496
this I like it in bongs personally
>>73608527
Enjoy your arsenic poisoning, you fucking filthy druggie
>>73608586
>not smoking your tobacco in a bong because the liberal traitors make you pay $60 a bag for it
>>73608119
Put in hot water, sugar and sweetened condensed milk then stir before adding ice cubes.

Cringe.
