Not sure what I did wrong, but my tea balls turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much tea.

These tea balls are perfect for a quick and easy cup of tea. They're also a great way to try new flavors of tea.

I love how versatile these tea balls are. You can use them to make hot or cold tea, and you can adjust the strength of the tea by using more or less tea leaves.

These tea balls are a great way to use up leftover herbs. I had some mint and lemon balm that was about to go bad, so I threw them in a tea ball and steeped them in hot water. The result was a delicious and refreshing tea.

These were a bit of a disappointment. They didn't hold their shape well and they didn't infuse the water with much flavor.

These tea balls are so cute and festive! I made them for a tea party and they were a big hit. Everyone loved the unique flavor.

Not a fan. The tea balls were a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use a milder tea blend.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a blend of black and green tea, and added a bit of honey and lemon to the hot water. The tea balls infused the water with a lovely flavor.

Loved this recipe! The tea balls were so flavorful and aromatic. I used a variety of herbs from my garden, including mint, lemon balm, and lavender. The balls held their shape well and didn't fall apart in the hot water.
