You've probably heard that a hot cup of Chai or Earl Gray is good for your body and soothes your soul, but did you know that it's helpful around the house, too? Instead of tossing your tea bags, use them to tenderize meat or fertilize flowers! Here are four ways to reuse tea: https://brightnest.com/posts/2x4-four-ways-to-reuse-tea
Freshen Carpets. Between pets, diapered children and wintery weather, your carpets are probably seeing a lot of action these days. Even if you don't have small ones rolling around on your carpet, you want it to smell good!
Tenderize Meat. Impress your dinner party guests with a perfectly tenderized ribeye steak! Tea makes for a great meat tenderizer and can be substituted for more expensive alternatives like red wine.
Make Cake. If you want to take your cakes to the next level, some tea leaves may be just what the doctor ordered. Not sure where to start? A few leftover Chai tea leaves work extremely well in this apple cake.
Fertilize Plants. To make your plants lush and your flowers beautiful, transfer tea's nutrients to your soil by adding a few tea bags to the mix. This one is simple – just stick a few tea bags in your fertilizer. Done!
