Tom Could try Hops bags used in homebrewing. A chunk of Panty Hose... If you are adding a tbsp or less, Maybe you can remember your younger days when they had a teaspoon. It was a spoon, with a hinged cover, a snap latch and holes in the spoon and the cover. It was orginaly made for using bulk tea. Bet your mom had one.. Lord Byron Bags Hi guys, I need a source for small (cotton?) bags. Like the bags used for tobacco in old-fashioned "roll-your-own" cigarettes. I need something like this for chiles to drop into my soups, stews, whisky, etc., to infuse the flavor of chiles. Ideas please. Thanky, Tom in Paris, TX
