Floating Tea Infuser
Floating Tea Infuser
Drop it in, watch it float, retrieve it without burning your fingers. A floating infuser takes the hassle out of steeping loose leaf tea or infusing herbs into stock. The mesh basket holds enough tea or spices for a proper cup or pot, and because it floats, there's no fishing around in hot liquid to pull it out.
The details
This small sphere, just 1.75 by 1.75 by 3 inches, fits comfortably in most teacups and mugs, and small enough that a standard mug's rim holds it in place. The body is finely woven stainless steel mesh—durable enough to withstand years of use and fine enough to keep sediment out of your cup while still allowing full water circulation for proper steeping. Fill it with loose leaf tea, dried herbs, or whole spices (a bouquet garni fits perfectly), close the lid, and drop it into hot water. It floats, so you simply lift the lid and retrieve it by the handle—no need to fish around or wait for it to cool. Works equally well in a mug of tea, a pot of mulled wine, a simmering stock, or a cup of infused hot water.
