Anchor Tea Bags With a Clothespin
While making tea, the "end papers" kept getting to close to the burner. So I used a clothespin to anchor them in place. Afterward, I opened the tea bags and put them in with the coffee grounds to put on the roses and in the garden.

Source: I got tired of burnt fingers. ;-)

Huh? Why don't you just pour boiling water into the cup with the tea bag? Trust me, we Brits love our tea and know these things!

What a great idea GG Vi and glad to know you recycle, too! :-)

And, blackbess, not everyone owns a teapot (including myself), whether cannot afford and/or not have room for, so why not use a pan?

Also, this batch of tea looks like it wouldn't fit in a tea cup, daisychain ;-) LOL :-)

Why not just use a teapot? Or am I missing something here?

I just pull the tags off the bags and drop the strings in the pot. Then use a spoon/fork to hold the bags as I pour the tea into the pitcher. As a child, we used to argue over who was going to pull the tags off the tea bags! lol
