1. Soothe Sunburns
Rinse a used black tea bag with cold water and apply it to sunburned skin. The tannic acid helps reduce irritation and promotes healing.
2. Relieve Minor Burns
For kitchen burns, press a damp black tea bag against the affected area. The tannins in the tea help reduce pain and inflammation.

Used green tea bags may help shrink warts. Place a cooled bag over the wart for 15 minutes, then replace it. Repeat daily until the wart disappears.
4. Reduce Puffy Eyes
Chilled black tea bags can reduce under-eye puffiness. Store them in the fridge and apply them to your eyes when needed.
5. Remove Grease Stains
Soak greasy dishes in water with used tea bags to help break down grease, making it easier to clean.
6. Natural Weed Killer
Mix steeped black tea with vinegar or citrus peels to create a natural weed killer, or pour it directly onto weeds.

Bury used tea bags around plants or compost them to enrich the soil and promote healthy growth.
