Drinking tea is a wonderful thing, but we often can't finish it before it becomes too weak to drink, leading to waste. Sometimes, we might even have to pour it out because of unexpected errands. That’s such a pity! Today, we’ll teach you some clever tricks to make the most of leftover tea!

1. Make a tea pillow for refreshing sleep

Spread used tealeaves on a wooden board to dry. Once you've collected enough, use them as pillow filling. Tea has cooling properties, so a tea pillow can refresh your mind and enhance thinking abilities.

The tea fragrance purifies the air you exhale while sleeping.

Tea pillows are especially suitable for the elderly and children, but remember to air them regularly.

2. Eliminate foot odor

After work, boil leftover tea into a strong solution for a foot soak. The tannic acid in tea has strong antibacterial effects, especially against fungi that cause foot odor. Consistent use will yield great results.

3. Rinse your mouth with leftover tea for freshness

Using overnight tea (if it hasn’t spoiled) to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth can prevent gum bleeding, reduce inflammation, and eliminate bad breath.

4. Nourish your skin

Washing your face with diluted tea can benefit your skin, as the vitamins and tea polyphenols provide healthcare effects!

5. Enhance eyelash growth

Dip a cotton swab in tea and apply it to your eyelashes—it’s the most economical "eyelash serum"!

These are the smart uses of leftover tea—have you learned them all?
