Drinking Accessories

Any good barista knows that decent accessories are needed to create good drinks—even at home. You probably already have a good-sized shaker at home. You may even have some fancy ice scoops, pourers and even swizzle sticks! One of my favorite new drink accessories is this sloth tea strainer.

Loose teas are so delicious, but they can be a mess—and it’s nice to have a reusable tea strainer. Many reusable strainers have the issue of leaking leaves, but this one is the perfect size for a cup without spilling leaves out into your mug. Whether you’re making hot toddies, a whiskey tea highball or simply a nice cuppa, it’s so important to choose a quality tea that you like.
