I've been looking for one of those tea ball things! I want to add it to my stay-in-place, long term stuff. What if I need to boil various leaves to make a substitute tea or coffee? Or just because it is a neat way to keep anything contained as you cook, clean, soak, and/or boil it. Probably lots of other good uses, I bet.

I found it at Target - (kitchen supplies of course)

Phooey! My Target and Walmart didn't have one. Williams and Sonoma want $$$ for a "Professional Grade" but I passed on that one! I will keep looking...

Look here: Infusers

The larger on can have multiple uses !

How about a "tactical" tea tea infuser ?

Unfortunately, they have been ?temporally out of stock? for several months <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />, as I have checked quite a few times over the summer. The price at $3.95 looks to be a bargain <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Thanks for all the replies...everything from cammo, Xtreme to girly-girl latte-sippin'. Now I know I am looking for an "infuser" not a tea ball thingy. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I would get the "tactical infuser" but I have never seem it not "out of stock" for about a year or so.

Been using one of these everyday for about 9 months now. Works great at home on the river bank. I claim to my family and friends that hot tea has kept me from any type of sickness in the last two years. That and garlic!!

Brangdon, the whole idea is: Slow Them Down, Calm Them Down. Rather than use instant coffee, how about a coffee bag? Of the sort used in a filter. Add suger to taste. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
