Small Silicon Tea Strainer - Leaf Shape with Base
Description
Small Silicon Tea Strainer with Base. Isn't it adorable? With a coloured top and bottom plate, the part with the tea is stainless steel. It can sit in the bottom of your teacup and infuse the water with your choice of tea.
We love this little one. It makes tea with ease and you can swirl the strainer around inside by holding the leaf.
Why we love this strainer? For ease of use and how it sits nicely in the tea cup. You can leave this in go get something to eat and come back your tea will be nicely finished and ready for drinking. The filters (little holes) are really small so the tea leaves stay inside secure. Hand wash is recommended.
The measurements are:
- Strainer fits 2-3 teaspoons of tea and will work fine with just one teaspoon
- Capacity/size of tea strainer is length 6cm x 3cm circumference
- Length of tea strainer *the coloured section) 12 cm
- Length of stainless steel strainer part 3cm
Suitable for:
- Tea for 1 YES
- Tea for 2 YES
- Tea for 3 YES
- Teapot YES
- Easy to clean? YES
This is the perfect addition to a bag of tea when you're buying a gift for a friend.
If you're making gin / alcohol and botanicals, a tea strainer is not necessary for steeping (you only need to steep the tea and alcohol together) but strain it at the end. In this case, please check out the larger tea strainer which will better suit your needs for gin and botanicals.

Easy Preparation
You will get the most flavour and value from brewing hot and allowing to cool to add to your drinks or meals.
Preparation for Iced Tea & Food
- Boil 180-250 ml filtered water.
- Measure ~1 teaspoon of tea into a jug or cup.
- Pour boiling water over tea, stir and allow to steep for 5-10 minutes.
- Strain, pour and enjoy.
- For green teas - brew only 2 minutes.
- For black teas - brew only 3-4 minutes.
Drinks can be prepared in advanced. Depending on your recipe, you may like to reduce the quantity of water and use the same amount of tea to make a concentrate, or substitute water in the recipe for tea.
Preparation for Cocktails
- Add 1 teaspoon of tea to 30mls of white spirits (gin or vodka), to glass jar with lid.
- Shake vigorously, leave lid on and allow to steep at least 10-15 minutes, preferably a few hours or overnight.
- Strain into glass over ice. Pour gin or soda water through strainer to extra remaining flavours.
