Nothing compares to coffee in the morning. I have a cup first thing every day. However, I typically have tea in the nights.
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.
Check out these creative uses for old 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 when 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 mild burns
The identical tea bags that are used for sunburns can be used for another critical circumstance.
Put a tea bag on the burned area if you unintentionally 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. Your wart will then come off after a few days.
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 refrigerator when you think it’s time to address the bags under your eyes.
5. Get rid of oil stains
Do persistent stains cause you to let your dishes soak?
Simply add water and soiled dishes to 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 using citrus (orange or grapefruit), tea, and water, or try applying brewed black tea on weeds. According to Tip Hero, black tea steeped in a jar of vinegar with orange peel can also be used as a spray.
7. 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.
