1. Let them dry then use as fire-lighters

2. place a pieve of muslin on your face, then put a teabag in each eyesocket to reduce puffiness.
3. cut open, pour contents into a bowl. add 2 tsps flour and 1-2 tsps brown sauce. mix well until you can roll into a ball. form into loose torpedo shapes. use as either an april fool joke, or as a potty training aid by placing in potty while a teddy is sitting on it to show a toddler that even their favorite bear can poop like a grownup.

4. Make tea with it? (Should have been no one, I suppose! )
5. Put on compost

6. Dry them out, split them open and use as fake soil for a dolls house garden.

7. Add the contents into home made paper. Gives a great antiqued look. Herbal teas can give really pretty effects. I am seriously thinking of making my own wallpaper from used tea. I just wonder if it will look too much like woodchip.

possible 8. can you use it to start seeds off? then when seedling is large enough the whole thing can be planted out. - I am not sure if tea is nutritious enough though

9. Use a cold, wet one as a missile ... across the kitchen ... at an unexpecting child, husband, cat...hee, hee, hee... I've never done it, just a thought

10. Pop one in your bath for an eco fake tan.

then spend 3 hours cleaning the bath

11. chamomile teabags are good for sore boobyfeeding nipples aparently. didn't manage to get boobfeeding long enough to try that one.

Apparently, its what a certain group of people who ride motorbikes swear by to start seeds of recreational herbs. I was told this by one of said group.

Yes, it went mouldy when i tried it too...

13. Turn it into a rollup and smoke... No, I've not tried that (don't smoke), but I read about it in one of Christopher Brookmyre's books: a guy in prison stretched one dehydrated teabag into two rollups...

i wonder if its any good...

Friend of mine tried the roll-up thing, might have been good if he hadn't used selotape to hold it together
