Which of us never brewed tea bags? Yes, probably all. But it is unlikely that everyone knows how you can still use the used sachets, instead of just throwing them away.
A bit of history
This useful invention for more than a century, the first brewing appeared in 1904.
The owner of the tea company T. Sullivan, before sending tea to his customers, packaged it in cans. Somehow, serving one young woman, his regular client, he decided to present her with an original gift and packed tea in a beautiful, silk bag.
She decided that it was such a new fashion and, being at home, did not pour the tea out of the bag into the teapot, but put it entirely. So the first tea bag appeared.
Here are some tips for using tea bags:
Feed the plants
Gut tea bags with used tea leaves and mix it with the earth, tea leaves will serve as a good organic fertilizer for your green pets. In addition, the welding will serve as a kind of "water storage". Absorbing water like a sponge, it retains moisture for domestic plants, and at the same time with abundant watering it absorbs excess water, preventing it from leaking into the pan.
Marinated meat
Fold several used bags in any container and cover with hot water, then let it cool, add this water to the meat marinade. Marinated in such an unusual way, the meat is more tender and juicy, especially noticeable when cooking beef. To enhance the savory taste, you can use fresh tea.
We clean the parquet
To clean the parquet we take 2 liters of water, boil, and drop 4-5 bags there. Let the liquid infuse for 20 minutes. After that, take out the bags and squeeze, but not dry, but so that they remain wet. We tear the paper and pour the brew on the surface, which we will clean, distributing it evenly.
Wet tea leaves absorb dust, greatly facilitating the process of cleaning. After 15 minutes, we sweep up the leaves, which have absorbed the dust. Now in the remaining solution we wet the cloth and, as it should, wipe the parquet. We make sure that there is no more dirt and grease, and, if necessary, wipe the floor with a dry cloth.
Save the nail
It so happens that the nail plate cracks in the middle, or cracks at the most inopportune moment. To help the injured nail, take a piece of the bag and put in place the fracture. Now gently cover the affected area with two layers of clear varnish, and letting it dry out, put a decorative layer.
This kind of "plaster" will help you wait until the nail grows to a suitable length, and it can be easily cut.
