No cheesecloth? No problem! Buy a tea infuser to keep on hand. Aside from making great tea, you can use the tea ball to hold fresh and dried herbs, bay leaves, garlic, peppercorns, or whatever else you use for flavoring. Submerge it in your soup or stock and then simply pull it out when your dish is done. Wash it when finished and use it again and again.
