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.

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
