2. Feed Your Plants
Tea is rich in nitrogen and other nutrients plants love. Bury used teabags in the soil of houseplants or gardens to enrich the soil, retain moisture, and deter pests. (Avoid synthetic mesh or plastic bags.)
3. Clean Glass and Mirrors
Tea’s natural tannins help break down grease and grime. Rewet a used teabag and wipe down mirrors, windows, or glass surfaces. Finish with a soft cloth for a streak-free shine.
4. Tenderize Meat
Old black tea can tenderize tough cuts of meat. Soak the meat in brewed tea (using a few used teabags) for a few hours before cooking. The natural acids soften the fibers, making the meat juicier.
