Whenever I make tea I use two spoons, so that when I take the tea bag out I can squeeze the bag to get all the tasty, tasty liquid out, but this means I have to wash a lot more spoons, drag, so heres my idea. A small device, similar to a hypodermic needle, but with a body made of mesh screen, somthing
like a tea ball or straner, you place the tea in the device (screwed open I'ed assume), place it in the cup, pour in the water, allow to steepe, remove the device, push down the plunger (its a needle like device, remember) to squeeze out the liquid, and then empty out the container, viola, tea and clean spoons!

Yep your right, but thinking about it my tea piston would also work with loose tea, kind of like those French coffee presses, but smaller and leakier. |

How did the viola get there, and why does it need to be emptied? |

Unfortunately, for loose tea this is extremely baked and Very Widely Known to Exist (At least in civilised, tea drinking countries). |

I think that is an anglicization of "wolla". |

Tea has natural antibacterial properties and the hot water will kill things in any case. Just don't wash the spoons. |

I have a tea bag removal tool, they're simple tongs with a miniature sieve for each paw, which quite efficiently squeezes and removes the tea bag. |

So long as you don't get milk on it, it doesn't need washing. |
