Did you perhaps make a mistake by buying the wrong kind of tea? Perhaps you have some old, leftover tea bags left in the pantry that you forgot about. Rather than throwing them out, there are some intriguing uses for tea bags that may just be worth your while.

If you love eggs but are curious to try some new flavors, then consider soaking your eggs in tea. This recipe for Classic Chinese tea eggs will give your eggs an intriguing, tasty exterior along with the usual taste on the inside that you know and love.
Cold Brew Tea Leaves
Rather than spending an excessive amount of money on iced teas from cafes, you can use your old tea bags to make your own iced tea. Simply take a reusable water bottle and fill it with water before submerging the tea bag. Leave the bottle in the fridge overnight and enjoy in the morning.
Tea Bag Masks
In addition to tasting good, tea can also prove soothing on your eyes. Soak green or herbal tea bags in warm water and place over your eyelids. This can work as an effective anti-inflammatory, reducing puffiness around your eyes and refreshing your skin.
