With a 1/2-cup capacity, this 18/8 stainless-steel ball is useful all year long. FIll it with bouquet garni for infusing flavors into soups and stocks, top it up with spices to create hot mulled wine or cider; it even makes a great tea ball for a large pot of tea. The stainless drip caddy helps keep the mess under control. All parts are dishwasher safe.
