Is there a kitchen appliance that allows you to steep herbs into liquid?

Is there anything where you can put some herbs into a compartment, fill the rest of the container with water ( or another liquid) and the appliance steeps the herbs (has a filter)? What would be the best way to do this as I don't want the herbs to mix with the actual water.|||You could use any container and then just strain the liquid through a fine strainer or cheesecloth. I have a device sold to make tea. You put the tea leaves in the container, fill with hot water, and steep. When the tea is ready, you place the device over a cup and it releases the liquid from the container. I actually have two of these: one at home and one at work. I bought one through Teavana, the other from some other website. You could try a tea infuser ball, depending on the bulk of the herbs you're trying to steep. You might try looking at tea stores.|||you can wrap the herbs in cheese cloth tie it closed and put it into the water or
