Strain
A few years ago, my friend Michelle gave me this gorgeous tea strainer which I break out when preparing a cup of double bergamot Earl Grey (of the loose tea variety).
If you’re not familiar with this method of preparing tea, the top portion with the “wings” rests on the rim of your teacup and you put loose tea in the basket portion.
Pour hot water over it, let it steep for a bit, and then remove the strainer and rest it in the accompanying base until you want to perhaps pour yourself another cuppa.
It’s beautiful and elegant and stylish and I love it.
(I also love the digital macro feature on my sister’s camera, borrowed for this purpose. It’s not bad at all and makes me wonder whether I would even need a digital SLR to get some good macro action. This was taken with a Canon Powershot SD600 and then photoshopped to produce that ethereal glow.)
