Tea balls turn out to be remarkably useful kitchen implements. Another thing that they turn out to be useful for is evenly and lightly dusting things with flour, since you can fill them with flour and sift it out over things by lightly shaking it. (The style I have is this one, which is a little smaller than most but has a handy handle, convenient for that.)
A basket, in this case, is one of the remarkably-standardized-in-the-U.S. quart baskets that strawberries, tiny tomatoes, mushrooms, and other loose squishable things tend to be sold in. It's labeled at 8 oz (227g), which should be a more portable measurement. In any case, I think the water was about one and half times enough to cover them, or perhaps a bit more.
