6 incredible ways to re-use our compostable teabags.

1. De-puff Eye Bags

To relieve eyes irritated by allergies or late nights, keep a jar of slightly wet tea bags in the refrigerator. For five minutes, place two teabags on your closed eyelids. The chilly temperature helps with the elimination of water retention and feels calming.

Trust us, a life-saving trick when you have meetings!

2. Take the Burn Out Of A Sunburn

For minor burns, applying a cold tea bag can give relief. Black tea, contains tannic acid, which draws heat from burns to help make them less painful.

Here’s how to treat a MINOR burn with it:

- For minor cooking burns or sunburned noses, you can place a wet tea bag or two on the born.

- For larger areas, you can boil used teabags in milk for 1 minute, then cool and apply with a clean cloth or spray bottle.

3. Ditch The Onion Hands

Did you know that if you rub your hands down with used tea bags, they won’t smell of onions?

4. Deodorise Smelly Shoes

Teabags are also a great solution for a simple homemade shoe deodoriser without having to go wash the shoes. All you need to do is place a couple of dry teabags in each shoe and let them sit.

Teabags work well for fighting odour because they are absorbent. You’ll see the result!

The best part is that you can pick any teabag that you want to deodorise with… peppermint, lemongrass and ginger.

5. Flavour Oatmeal, Grains, and Pasta

Sounds crazy, we know! But apparently, adding an old tea bag when you’re boiling grains or pasta confers a surprising, deeper flavour.
