Thai iced tea is made with a finely powdered material. Sometimes it's just
tea, but more often it has some star anise and poontalai added to it in order
to use cheaper tea with less of an anise flavour to it. But the stuff is
so fine that it would go right through a conventional tea basket.

I see - not to do a plug for my store, but I think I have a product
that might help. The IngenuiTEA has a filter at the bottom that is
extremely fine - similar to that of a permanent mesh coffee filter.
Also, I think paper filters would work as well. Wouldn't a french
press work too? If you'd like a coupon for my store, just email me.

A french press would leak a lot, and I suspect that the IngenuiTEA would
as well. Paper coffee filters are the usual solution these days... usually
folks will make a large quantity at a time and stick it in the fridge, so
you need a large filter that won't clog.
