Russians have been using tea cozies for a long time now, because they work very well in keeping the hot water hot! The way to drink tea like a Russian is to make the tea in a pot, cover it with a cozy, and wait at least 15 minutes. Then, the tea is strong enough to drink! (If it is too strong, hot water is added from a samovar).
