…The Tea Leaks Out of The Tiny Screen Holes of The Metal Tea Ball.

The only solution I can think of is using those metal, tiny screen holes that sit on top of the tea cup Place a piece of the our species (using the term normally used is sexist) food grade cheese cloth in the metal, tiny screen holes sitting on top of the tea cup
Cut out the tea from the tea bag & place it on top of the our species (using the term normally used is sexist) food grade cheese cloth in the metal, tiny screen holes,
Then pouring the boiling water over the tea & wait for dripping to stop, remove all from top of the tea cup
& Wait for the tea to slightly cool.

Do they make cheese cloth that is our species (using the term normally used is sexist) food grade?

What do you all think?
&
Any other solutions?

      Do you compost? That’s the first suggestion I’m finding, but I don’t garden so that wouldn’t be a useful suggestion for me.

      If the boxes have been opened, I don’t know what org will take them, but if you have sealed containers, local food pantries will grab them. If there’s a local buy nothing group, you might find takers even with open boxes. If you work in an office or group setting, you could give it away. If there’s a local group like a church that has meetings with tea or coffee, you could possibly be like “i have a million boxes of stuff I’m not using” but they might be like other orgs and not want to take open boxes.

      Some towns will have special recycling times for stuff like that. Biowaste, I think it’s called?
