Nothing compares to coffee in the morning. I always have a cup to start the day. However, I typically go for tea in the evenings.
After adding a bag of your preferred brew, of course, you quickly have a hot cup ready after starting the kettle.
A few minutes later, you take out the bag, throw it in the garbage, and sip the tea.
However, I haven’t thrown out any tea bags since my grandmother showed me some creative ways to use them.
Take a look at these creative ways to reuse leftover tea bags by scrolling down. They’re quite useful, and you might even end up saving some cash down the road.
1. Treat sunburns
Rinse a tea bag containing black tea with cold water.
When you get sunburned in the summer or while traveling overseas, it will become your new best buddy. Tannic acid, which is found in black tea, promotes skin healing and provides a long-lasting cooling effect.
2. Treat small burns
The same tea bags used to treat sunburns can also be used in an emergency.
Apply a tea bag to the burned area if you inadvertently burn yourself. Minor burns are also relieved by the tannins in black tea.
3. Remove warts
Did you know that the antioxidants in green tea help stop warts from developing? Once it has cooled, take a used tea bag and lay it over the wart.
After fifteen minutes, take out the tea bag and put a fresh one in. Give the second one fifteen more minutes. After a few days, your wart will disappear.
4. Stop puffiness in your eyes
Additionally, black tea’s tannins can help reduce puffy bags under your eyes.
Save the teabag for the next time you have a cup of tea. Store it in the refrigerator for a day or two after putting it in a small container. Then, take a few tea bags out of your fridge when you feel like it’s time to take action regarding the bags under your eyes.
5. Get rid of oil stains
Do stains that are difficult to remove force you to let your dishes soak?
Simply put dirty dishes and water in your sink. After that, toss some tea bags into the water. It will be much simpler to get rid of the stains.
6. Weed killer
You can make a weed-killing mixture out of a bag of tea.
Make a tea recipe with tea, water, and citrus (grapefruit or orange) or try applying brewed black tea on weeds. According to Tip Hero, black tea brewed in an orange-rind vinegar jar can also be used as a spray.
7. The fertilizer
Both loose leaf teas and compostable tea bags can be buried around plants, in addition to being used as fertilizer in the compost bin.
Houseplants, garden plants like ferns, and roses all adore it.To use the tea bags for plant growth right around the root system, you can also dig the tea bags or loose leaves in around the plants.
