Sugar Tongs

Traditionally, restaurants and diners would serve coffee or tea alongside a bowl of sugar cubes accompanied by a small set of silver tongs. Today, sugar tongs are more commonly found in fine British tea houses and other traditional establishments that celebrate the ritual details of after-dinner drinks. Sugar tongs add a touch of sophistication to preparing tea and coffee, and they still have a beloved place in restaurants, cafes, and home kitchens that enjoy the finer things and appreciate tradition. Sugar tongs are intended for exactly what their name implies: grabbing sugar cubes. Next time you throw a tea party or want to impress guests with after-dinner coffee, ditch the sugar shaker and get yourself a dainty bowl, sugar cubes, and a nice pair of sugar tongs.
