Leftover tea and tea bags?

You can use leftover tea to marinade meat before cooking and even add used tea leaves to compost to help grow your plants. Tea can also effectively remove grease and grime on mirrors and floors so use an old bag to make a cold brew, then use it as a cleaning solution.  

Then remember to recycle your used tea bags either at home in the compost bin or in your council food waste collection. Never put them in the rubbish bin. But before you recycle it try using a tea bag on closed eyes to soothe and make your skin fresh and smooth!

Keep your broccoli cool

Broccoli stored in the fridge in a loosely tied plastic bag retains its freshness and quality for longer than broccoli stored loose in a vegetable rack at room temperature.
