Do these "tea" spoons match my Tea Strainer?
User

Thank you all for your help in identifying my tea strainer. I love afternoon tea and never gave it thought that my lovely silver piece COULD BE a strainer!
I bought these tea spoons (smaller than what comes with a set of cutlery -- called often 5 o'clock spoons or "tea" spoons)
I think they are a match for the tea strainer:
They, too, ARE Swedish. For the marks on the reverse indicates that they were made in Sweden:
Are they the same -- marks on the back of tea strainer do not have the assay mark nor the Stockholm mark nor the date mark.
Or is just a common pattern in Sweden and I just happen to have two examples?

My first stinkin' experience with alfalfa/compost tea
Comments (22)I decided to have a look at this forum because I have one little rose I haven't been able to help. Name is Gismo. It leafed out white this spring, I have tried several things, including the tea. Got BS and lost all white leaves, now is leafed out again and blooming with more white leaves. Anyway, here is my alfalfa tea story.I mixed up 4 cups of pellets and some epsom salts in a 5 gal container. Unknown to me the container had a small slit in it. All 5 gal of it leaked out onto 2 daylilies. They grew like mad, and are blooming for the 3rd time. Poor Gismo is still white, yes I made more of the magic brew and Gismo got some. I love that little rose, but hate white leaves. He has always had green ones before....See MoreHealthiest yellow Tea and Tea-Noisettes?
Comments (24)Get some real butter and sugar and cream it together. That is the color of Celine Forestier. (Sometimes a little lighter, sometimes a little darker, but that pretty much is the exact color.) Now take that butter and sugar and make some cookies and sit down with warm cookies and milk and comtemplate your roses. Isn't this the best response you've gotten today? ;-) The buds start out with a pink blush on the outside as they open--made me think I'd gotten the wrong rose at first--then open into perfectly wonderful blooms. If I was strictly looking for a foliage plant, it might not be my first choice, but it's good enough for my front porch railing. The leaves are a lighter green with a matte finish. I may end up planting a clematis to grow in amongst it just for fun, but it's a really nice plant. If you look closely you might find a leaf or 2 with some blackspot, or maybe a hint of powdery mildew, and I don't spray. Sounds like it either likes your conditions or it doesn't. Maybe it's just in a sweet spot in my yard, but I've had absolutely no winter dieback, and it has the potential to become a beast. Right now it's my only noisette, but it's so nice I might try to squeeze in another....See MoreHow do I set up a compost tea brewer?
Comments (13)The information below is taken from the Fine Gardening article by Dr. Ingham linked in the reply of Sep 26, 09 at 14:23. In addition, I believe that I have read that the brewing equipment should be well cleaned between batches with the use of some hydrogen peroxide. "Also, keep in mind that tea made using this bucket method needs to brew for two or three days and then be used immediately. If you work Monday through Friday, start the tea on Wednesday or Thursday, so it will be ready in time to apply it on the weekend." "After three days, turn off the pump and remove the equipment. If you leave the tea aerating longer than three days, you must add more molasses or the good organisms will start going to sleep because they don't have enough food to stay active. Let the brew sit until the compost is pretty much settled out, 10 to 20 minutes, then strain it into the other bucket or directly into your sprayer. You'll have about 2 1/2 gallons of tea. If you want, this is the time to add foliar micronutrients, like kelp or rock dust. Use the tea right away, within the hour if possible." "With any form of compost, solid or tea, bad smells mean bad business. Healthy, adequately oxygenated compost and compost tea should smell sweet and earthy. Never use a smelly compost tea on your plants. The true bugaboo is alcohol, a product of anaerobic decomposition that destroys cell walls. Roots tolerate only 1 part per million alcohol. That's a very small amount, and human noses aren't good at detecting it. Instead, we can detect all the other smelly compounds that go with anaerobic production of alcohol."

Comments (22)I have been making this ice tea for 14 years now. My family, husband, and friends LOVE IT. I have friends that will drive by my house just to come in for ice tea. It is just good. The funny thing is it is simple and easy. I got the recipe while visiting my aunt in Boston. We couldn't stop drinking it. Ok, here is the recipe: Get a medium size sauce pan and fill it will water. Boil the water, then remove it from the heat. Get 6 Lipton tea bags and tie the strings together as to put them in the hot water. Keep the tea bags in the water for 8 minutes. Then take the bags out and throw them away. Important: Do not sqeeze the tea bags after taking them out of the water. Then at 1/3 cup of sugar to the warm tea mixture in pan and mix until the suger dissolves. Fill a good size tea pitcher half way with water, then pour the tea mixture in. You can add more water to fill the pitcher if needed. Put it in the fridge or try it over ice. Oh so good! Enjoy!...See MoreUser
