From cooking to cleaning, leftover tea leaves can be repurposed and used in a number of surprising ways. Here are some amazing tips to use tea leaves even after they have been used before to make your tea.

Here’re 5 Best Ways To Use Leftover tea Leaves:
1. Season Your Salad
As strange as it may sound, tea leaves actually give a kick of pungency to salads. You can add wet leftover tea leaves directly your salad but make sure to use the same day they were brewed. And remember to use just a sprinkle of the tea leaves.
2. Use As Pickle
Tea leaves make for a great picking agent. Try it to believe it. Combine used tea leaves, oil, lemon juice and salt and add to a mason jar. Let it seep for a week and use as pickle as is or add to your sandwiches, salads and other foods.
