Someone gave me a wonderful gift today, an old electric samovar. This
actually came from Russia, so it doesn't have the right kind of plug. I
assume I can purchase a converter to be able to use it.

I am not all that certain how to use the thing. I know the basics, it
holds water to use to dilute the tea concentrate from the top (there seems
to be something missing up there to hold the concentrate, but I am sure
that something can be used to replace it, probably just needs to be metal.

Any thoughts, any web site suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
