Believe it or not, old black tea can help tenderize tougher cuts of meat. Simply soak the meat in brewed tea (made from a few used teabags) for a few hours before cooking. The natural acids help break down muscle fibers for a more tender result.
5. Freshen Up Your Fridge or Shoes
Dry out your used teabags completely, then place them in a small bowl or sachet in your fridge, closet, or shoes to absorb odors. Green and black teas work best for neutralizing bad smells naturally.
6. Keep Pests Away
The strong scent of used peppermint or chamomile teabags can repel ants, mice, and other pests. Tuck dried teabags into cupboards, pantry corners, or near trash bins.
7. DIY Skin Treatment
Green tea is packed with antioxidants that are great for your skin. Reuse cooled teabags as a gentle exfoliating scrub—just open the bag, mix the tea leaves with a little honey or yogurt, and massage onto your face. Rinse off for refreshed, glowing skin.
