Used tea leaves can be used in a few surprising ways, from food to cleaning.
Add to salad
It may sound strange to you, but used tea leaves add flavor to salads. Just make sure that the tea leaves used are not old and just sprinkle a pinch on the salad.
Use as a pickle
Spent tea leaves are a great ingredient for pickles. Mix them with oil, lemon juice and salt in a jar and leave for a week. add
Clean kitchen surfaces
When cleaning kitchen slabs or cutting boards, remember the tea leaves, put wet used tea leaves on the slab or cutting board, then rub it with your hands, then clean it as usual.
It removes dirt, grease and odor. You can also use it to wash dishes.
Clean the fridge
If your fridge is constantly smelling of food, instead of throwing away the used tea leaves, put them in the fridge as they have the ability to absorb the smell. Dry the tea leaves and keep them wrapped in a muslin cloth.
Also you can use it to clean the microwave and oven, put the tea bag in the oven immediately after use while it is hot it will absorb all the smell.
