What are the magical uses of overnight tea leaves

Many people think that overnight tea is of no use, so they throw it away. In fact, this practice is a shameful waste. Overnight tea has many uses. For example, overnight tea can be used to beautify the skin, clean the wound, or clean clothes. Overnight tea has a good bactericidal effect. It contains acidic substances, which can prevent capillary bleeding to a certain extent.

If your eyes have red bloodshot or you have unexplained tears, washing them with overnight tea every day will have a very good effect; washing your hair with overnight tea can cure an itchy scalp; some people have bad breath, and gargling with overnight tea three times a day can eliminate the bad breath; using overnight tea to scrub basins, plates, bowls, painted furniture, etc. will have a significant effect.

Wet tea leaves can remove fishy and onion smells from containers; using leftover tea leaves to scrub greasy pots and bowls can make items more shiny; drying leftover tea leaves and placing them in a humid place can remove moisture. After the leftover tea leaves are dried, they can be used as pillow cores and put into pillowcases; soaking the leftover tea leaves and pouring them on the roots of plants can promote plant growth; drying the leftover tea leaves and burning them in the bathroom can eliminate bad odors and repel mosquitoes and flies.

Please note that overnight tea cannot be consumed. Overnight tea generally refers to tea that has been soaked for more than 12 hours, or left overnight. During this period, changes will occur. As the soaking time increases, substances such as polyphenols and vitamins will gradually disappear. At the same time, organic acids will precipitate in the tea soup, increasing the acidity and causing it to deteriorate.

A cup of clear green tea, especially if left for a long time in high temperatures, will lose its green color and become more yellow. This is the oxidation of tea polyphenols in tea to form yellow-red and reddish-brown oxidation products, mainly theaflavins, thearubigins, theabrownins, etc. These products are non-toxic and will not cause harm to the human body.

Overnight tea should not be drunk, but drinking overnight tea has nothing to do with cancer. Don't listen to rumors and think that drinking overnight tea will cause cancer, and then worry about it. Since tea contains vitamins and other nutrients, if it is stored for too long, bacteria can easily use these nutrients as food and multiply in large numbers. This is why the bacterial content in overnight tea is very high.
