Durable, safe material: made from high-quality 304 grade stainless steel for long-term use and reliable food contact safety. Convenient chain design: a long chain lets you attach the spice ball to a teacup or teapot for hands-free steeping and easy removal when brewing is finished. Versatile use: designed for loose-leaf tea and flavored tea, and also useful in the kitchen for filtering spices when making soups or broths. Simple to clean and maintain: rinse the soaked leaves or spices under running water, then dry thoroughly before storing. How this helps you Brew loose-leaf tea without mess: keep leaves contained while allowing full flavor extraction, then remove the infuser quickly with the attached chain. Save time in the kitchen: use the same tool to contain whole spices during simmering and remove them at the end of cooking, avoiding the need to fish out individual pieces. Built to last: 304 stainless steel resists rust and wear for repeated everyday use. Practical use scenarios Morning routine: steep your favorite loose-leaf black or green tea in a cup, clip the chain to the rim, and lift out the infuser when ready. Dinner prep: place whole peppercorns, bay leaves, or other aromatics inside and simmer in your soup pot, then lift out the spice ball before serving. Flavored beverages: infuse fruit or herbal blends in hot water to make flavored tea or tisanes without loose bits in the drink. Care tips Rinse thoroughly after each use to remove residue. Allow to dry completely before storing to maintain performance and appearance.
