Tea ceremony gourmets are skeptical about tea in bags, believing that such tea has little benefit.

Many people, in order to save money, brew the same tea bag several times without fear of harming their health.

However, not everyone knows how often you can brew tea in bags, or whether it is possible to reuse a tea bag.

How to brew tea in a bag correctly

Only one tea bag is used. Reusing it leads to the fact that fungi and bacteria can multiply in a humid environment.

After the initial cooking process, oxidation will begin and a toxic organic compound will appear.

What are the health risks of reusing tea bags?

Regular use of tea bags can have unpleasant consequences. Repeated use of tea bags will lead to liver problems and other unpleasant consequences.

How to store a tea bag

If you decide that reusing a tea bag will not cause harm to the body, then try storing tea bags in the refrigerator, but not more than 24 hours.

During this time, the tea bag can be used no more than twice.

In principle, there is nothing critical about using a tea bag for a second cup of tea on the same day.

You just need to understand that the taste of tea in each subsequent cup will be different from the rich taste that was in the first.
