What can you make with Green Tea Bags?

I still use Twinings green tea but have changed from the Jasmine to the Earl Grey, they are really nice, because I only just show them to the hot water I get lots of use out of one teabag, OH and I make one bag last for 6 mugs (keeping it in the fridge between outings), that's about one mornings worth!

cold green tea makes a great marinade for duck too, and is good served with a noodle salad with lots of fresh chilli

I use green tea for making a face toner:

200ml / 1 cup mineral water
4 tsp green tea leaves
1 tsp mint leaves

Boil the mineral water and add the leaves, let mixture stand for 10 mins, strain and let it cool. Pour into a sterilized bottle. I keep mine in the fridge and it makes a nice cooling face freshener, good for dry sensitive skin as its gentle. I'm sure you could make it with tea bags as well.

thanks ..that sounds lovely..I have been looking for a 'recipe' for a homemade cooling spray to take into hospital for labour and the aftermath.
I will give it a try.
