There\u2019s nothing like coffee to start the morning, but in the evenings, I always switch to tea. Boiling the kettle and dropping in my favorite tea bag has become a comforting ritual.<\/p>\n

Like most people, I used to toss out my tea bags after one use. But that changed after my grandmother showed me clever tricks for reusing them \u2014 and they\u2019re surprisingly handy!<\/p>\n

1. Soothe sunburns
\nBlack tea bags, when cooled and applied to sunburnt skin, offer relief thanks to their tannic acid content, which cools and promotes healing.<\/p>\n

2. Treat minor burns
\nFor small burns, apply a cold, used black tea bag to the area. The tannins help soothe pain and reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n

3. Remove warts
\nGreen tea is full of antioxidants. Placing a cooled used bag on a wart for 15 minutes twice daily may help it shrink and fall off within days.<\/p>\n

4. Reduce puffy eyes
\nRefrigerated tea bags work wonders for tired, puffy eyes. Just place one over each eye for a few minutes for a refreshing lift.<\/p>\n

5. Cut grease on dishes
\nThrow a few used tea bags into a sink full of greasy dishes. The natural compounds help break down grime, making cleanup easier.<\/p>\n

6. Natural weed killer
\nSteeped tea mixed with vinegar and citrus peels makes a gentle, effective spray for unwanted garden weeds.<\/p>\n

7. Boost plant growth
\nUsed tea bags or loose leaves can be composted or buried near plant roots as a natural fertilizer \u2014 especially loved by roses and ferns.<\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t toss those tea bags \u2014 reuse them!<\/p>\n
