Digital Kitchen Scale
Most iced tea recipes call for tea by volume — a tablespoon of loose leaf, a certain number of bags — but measuring by weight is far more precise and repeatable. Tea leaves vary enormously in density depending on their type and cut: a tablespoon of tightly rolled oolong pellets contains much more tea than a tablespoon of fluffy white tea buds. Measuring by weight eliminates this variability completely, giving you consistent results every single time. This compact digital kitchen scale measures in both grams and ounces with precision to 0.1 grams, which is more than accurate enough for tea brewing. It's also invaluable for baking, cooking, and portioning ingredients for any recipe that benefits from precision. The slim, flat design takes up almost no counter space, and the easy-to-read display works in any lighting. Most models have a tare function that lets you zero out the weight of your container, so you're measuring only the tea itself. If you're serious about dialling in your iced tea recipes and getting the same great result every time, a kitchen scale is one of the most useful tools you can add to your setup. Affordable, accurate, and endlessly useful.
