E. Read the text and mark the sentences T, F or NS. Russian Tea. In Russia no meal is complete without lingering over cups of strong tea and sweets. Even large meals are usually followed by a dessert course, which, much like the savory variety of zakuzki, consists of a wide range of cookies, candies, and cakes. Russian tarts are composed of sweet butter creams and nuts in between several cake layers. Candy is often just as rich, made of nuts, marzipan, dried fruit or wafers dipped in dark chocolate. A variety of candy and cakes can be found in most Russian food stores, but the tastiest desserts are homemade. “Vareniki” are dumplings filled with fruit or sweet cheese. Not only are they delicious, but they are easy to make at home. “Medovik” is a wonderful honey cake, and “Medianykу” are honey cookies, based on the same recipe. “Compote”, boiled fresh fruit, is the perfect summer dessert, but can also be made from dried fruit off-season. Cherries, apples, and other fruits are the best in this dish, and berries can be added to enhance the flavors. Compote can also be used as dressing for vanilla ice cream or sweet crepes. I can't think of a better way to end tea procedure. And just when you think you can't possibly eat one more bite, you will be talked into having one last cup of tea. 1.
