This stainless-steel pincer spoon in a heart shape makes it quick and easy to steep a fresh cup of tea with the same ease and convenience as using store-bought tea bags. Simply squeeze the handle to open the mesh infuser. Fill it halfway (about 2-teaspoons) with loose tea to allow the tea leaves room to fully expand. Place in the cup, Infuser side down, and pour in hot water. Steep 3-5 minutes to release the full flavor. Once desired brew strength is achieved, remove the Infuser from the cup and discard the used tea leaves. Not suitable for fine herbs like Rooibos.
