It's SO the little things in life

I bought a new tea strainer for $2.19. It was a spur-of-the-moment purchase in the grocery store. Truly throwing caution to the wind.



I've been coping with my rusty, leaky tea ball for a good six years, and now I have a brand new utensil that scoops tea and holds it securely while it brews. :-) (Shown above with my all-time favourite tea from the Thayer St tealuxe.)

The best part is that it's tall enough to fit in my travel mugs and be removed without the aid of additional utensils! And, at this height, you can even use it to stir so that the tea brews faster! Oooh.



Pretty exciting for a saturday.
