Things you can do with tea
Friends, this list is in no way exhaustive. Its just a quick compilation. Read on!
Pain Reliever
The tannic acid in tea is useful as a balm to soothe the pain of sunburn, mild scalding and razor cuts.
Make a paste of brewed tea (cleaned of any milk or sugar) and baking soda and use on the spot of pain
Dip a tea bag in a solution of baking soda in water, and use the tea bag as a pack
Eye Soother
Use used or fresh wet, refrigerated, or sufficiently cool tea bags take away eye puffiness.
To soften a sty, use a warm tea bag as an eye pack
Feet Cleanser
Washing feet in tea liquor removes foul odor and prevents foot infections. The tea plantation workers do this in a routine manner!
Shampoo!
Tea can be used for the final rise after shampooing, to leave an extra shine
Marinate
Tea can be used to marinate and tenderize meat.
On Wooden Furniture
Tea can be used to clean wooden furniture. For normal stains, just use a cloth made wet with tea.
For extreme cases, try the same with a cloth made damp with dipping in boiling tea
Natural dye
Tea can be used as a natural dye for both, cloth and leather
Compost fertilizer
Tea belongs to the "camellia" family. The tea you use is nothing but green leaves of the plant Camellia sinencis
It takes on different shapes due to processing
When brewed, it just unfurls, and becomes "fine leaves", waiting to decompose
Roses in particular love tea. Just make sure that there is no trace of milk or sugar left in the tea
