Long Teaspoons

Common Uses of Long Teaspoons:

1. Stirring Tall Beverages:

   • Ideal for mixing beverages in tall glasses, such as iced tea, iced coffee, milkshakes, or cocktails.
   • The extended length ensures you can reach the bottom of the glass easily without getting your fingers wet.

2. Serving Desserts:

   • Often used for desserts served in tall glasses or dishes, such as sundaes, parfaits, or trifles.
   • They provide better reach and control for scooping and serving without spilling.

3. Scooping from Deep Containers:

   • Perfect for scooping condiments like honey, yogurt, or jam from deep jars.
   • Their longer handles make them more convenient for reaching the contents of larger containers.

4. Mixing Cocktails:
