My first mother in law was an English war bride. Tea was an everyday beverage in their household. I didn’t take much from the estate but felt a connection to a couple of loose tea balls. I’m not a tea drinker and they just were in a kitchen drawer doing nothing. I repurposed them to hold small parts in the ultra sonic cleaner. Works well. Large one is for left side small parts and the small one takes right side small parts. Other small parts go into the large ball because they can’t be confused for left or right. She may not have been impressed with the new role but every time I do a Parker I can’t help but think of her. So I think the new role serves a double purpose. I’ll take a daily Scotch anytime over tea but I could take it in a tea cup if need be
