Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient (30) servant à préparer une boisson, comprenant un récipient extérieur (31) et un récipient intérieur (32). Ce dernier est adapté pour être placé dans une partie inférieure du récipient extérieur, définissant un compartiment servant de support à un ingrédient de boisson (33). Le récipient (30) comprend également un élément de fermeture (38) exploitable au moyen d'une tige (43), de préférence par rotation, entre une position ouverte dans laquelle le liquide du récipient extérieur peut circuler à travers le compartiment et l'élément de fermeture, lorsque celui-ci est placé dans le récipient extérieur, et une position fermée dans laquelle le liquide et l'ingrédient de boisson dans le compartiment ne peuvent pas passer à travers l'élément de fermeture. Plusieurs récipients de ce type peuvent être emboîtés pour former des fermetures hermétiques autour de l'ingrédient de boisson.
