Cheesecloth Bags for Straining,Reusable Cold Brew Coffee Cheese Cloths Strainer,Large Nut Milk Tea Juice Bag,100% Natural Cotton Fine Mesh Filter Bags (Large, 8 Pack)

Some people have complained about the construction and maybe it varies between each product, but I love mine. It's perfect for throwing in some coffee grounds, pulling the string on the top, throwing that in water to steep like a tea and, there you have it, 12 hours later and perfectly brewed cold coffee just like at the hipster shops without the finance-bro prices.

I buy tea that is very fine and got tired of so many particles going through various metal tea strainers when making iced tea. I just put in the amount I need to make a gallon, pull the bag closed and clip the strings to the edge of my pitcher with a binder clip. I pour about a quart of boiling water in, let it steep to a desired doneness, remove and add water and ice to fill. Once cooled I turn it inside out, shake out the tea grounds and rinse thoroughly with cool water. Blot between layers of a cloth or paper towel then let dry. I’ve used them repeatedly (in a rotation of 2, so far) and they work perfectly. No unwanted tea particles in the iced tea. I only gave 4 stars for sturdiness because - depending on the use - the strings are very thin and might not last long. For what I’m using these for, no strings have broken or frayed. I did tie them together at the very ends before the first use. If one does break I see no reason why you can’t just thread a new piece of string in.

I use these cheesecloths to strain my cold brew.- 8 tablespoons ground coffee in a 32 oz Mason jar- fill with water, shake- refrigerate 16-24 hours, any longer than 24 hours will be bitter- strain with cheeseclothSuper simple! So delicious and caffeinated. I throw away the coffee grounds and rinse the cheesecloth in the sink, then let dry to use again.

Mom’s Greatest Secret! This is how you get flavor into foods without your kids rebelling at onions (or whatever). Pop the objectionable ingredients in cheesecloth bags for cooking, then remove the bags for serving. I pour the bag contents onto my plate, LOL, because I love the “yucky stuff.”

These bags are NOT ORGANIC Cotton. The package only says 100% Natural Cotton from China. There is nothing that indicates ORGANIC anywhere on the package. All kinds of Natural Cotton is grown with pesticides all over the world. The Amazon customer services rep directed me to Etsy where I found organic tea bags from Australia. Unbleached Blend of 45% organic cotton and 55% organic Hemp cotton from TularuAU in Perth Australia for $2 each small 4cm x 4cm bag plus $2.91 shipping to central California.

These work great for making coffee for a crowd while camping. Just measure the appropriate amount of ground coffee into the bag, tie the drawstring, and drop into boiling water. It works just like an oversized tea bag. After use, turn inside out and rinse off the coffee grounds. Throw it into the washing machine (probably separate from other clothes) when you get home for a more thorough cleaning.

I’m using them for holding 16 oz toasted oak chips and 24 oz chopped dark raisins in my wine making primary fermentation bucket. I boiled them for 10 minutes before use to sterilize and again when they were filled to clean the oak chips and raisins. So far they held up and I’ll see after a week or more in the fermentation bucket.Update: They held up so far, 1 week in the fermentation bucket. I rinsed with water, dried and put away for next wine batch.

I have to admit I never tried to clean them, just threw them away like a teabag, but they work great for what I need! For soups and stews, I stuff them with half an onion, a halved carrot, short stalks of celery, maybe a radish, a bunch or two of herbs... they simmer with the meat, or peas, or whatever needs long slow simmering, and after a couple hours they rest of the dish is ready for some fresher veggies. The veggies that slow simmer in the bag get mushy, but they release all their flavor and make a wonderful broth. I need to start making the effort to clean and save them, because they're really great, and sturdy too.
