3 Ways To Make Tea Bags

Use a disposable, paper coffee filter. It should be about 3 inches (7. 6 cm) across before flattening.

Adjust the amount of tea leaves you use to your own tastes. This can take some trial and error.

If the bag looks too long at this point, cut off about 3⁄4 inch (1. 9 cm) from the open edges.

You can buy baker’s twine in most grocery stores. You can staple a decorated piece of paper to the other end of the twine to create a personalized design.

You can usually buy cheesecloth in both grocery stores and fabric stores.

Baker’s twine can usually be found at grocery stores and supermarkets. If you can’t find any, unflavored dental floss is a safe alternative.

Be careful not to sew over the string.

You can tie something heavy, like a bead, to the end of the string to add some weight, or you can staple a small square of paper to the end to make it look like a store-bought tea bag.
