Tea is one of the oldest daily rituals there is, and the kitchen-witch tradition treats the brewing itself as the working: chosen herbs, hot water, a pause, and a cup drunk with attention. A tea ball is the plain tool at the middle of that, honest mesh and steel with no powers of its own, and it needs none. What it offers is the practice: chamomile before sleep, mint for a clear morning, the blend you mix yourself with intention folded in at the spooning. Brew food-safe herbs only, and know each herb before it goes in the ball; not everything in an herb cabinet belongs in a cup.

1. Fill it halfway. Leaves expand; the mesh needs room to let water through.
2. Clasp and hook. Close it firmly and hang the chain over the cup's rim.
3. Steep with attention. The pause while it brews is the ritual part; use it.
4. Rinse and dry. A quick rinse keeps the mesh clear and the next cup true.

How much tea does it hold?

About a mug's worth: fill it halfway to give the leaves room to open.

Can I brew any herb in it?

Only food-safe herbs and teas. Know each herb before you steep it; plenty of ritual herbs are not for drinking.

How do I clean it?

Rinse after each use; hand wash or dishwasher for deeper cleaning, and dry it open.
