muslin bags

Woven cotton sacks

Muslin bags are small pouches made from loosely woven cotton fabric, used to hold items that need contact with liquid while staying contained.

Cooks steep spices in muslin bags when making stock or mulled wine.

They're also used for straining, brewing tea, or making sachets: She filled a muslin bag with lavender for the drawer.
