What are some alternatives to reusable tea bags?

I recently decided to try loose leaf tea. I really enjoy the tea, but I've only had one cup because I don't like cleaning out the tea bag afterwards. What are alternatives to muslin tea bags, and what are the pros/cons？
Thanks in advance.

@chirchri,

Use disposable empty tea bags.That is what I do.

There are devices made which can be used for a pot of tea, or an individual cup or mug of tea. This is a tea infuser which is used for a pot tea, it is often called a tea ball:

The Girl has one that she uses for a single mug, which is similar (but not identical) to the one in this image:

@chirchri,

Cleaning out the tea bag? I've never heard of that before, most people who use loose leaf use a tea strainer.

Although I really don't like the colour of that tea.

@chirchri,

I love this tea strainer for loose tea.
Tea Infuser Strainer + Spoon

Easy to rinse out and clean. Hasn't let any loose tea flotsam to ruin the brewed cup of tea.

Fits a single mug (for scale/size comparison).
