We designed our stainless-steel mulling ball with spice enthusiasts in mind. It's crafted with smaller perforations to support both large and small-sized spices, plus a swiveling lid with a locking mechanism to keep contents secure. Dropped in hot liquid, it infuses flavor quickly and without residue, making it an ideal tool for preparing hot mulled cider and teas, or adding flavor to homemade stocks and soups. Swivel top makes it easy to fill with mulling spice, herbs and tea. Made of stainless steel with small, evenly spaced perforations to ensure optimal infusion even with the smallest of spices. Lid locks to keep contents secure inside the ball. Large-capacity container holds up to 1/2 cup (8 Tbs.) of spices or herbs, enough to flavor up to 1 gallon of liquid. Dishwasher safe.
