RE-USE jar for preserving tea


It so simple to have a nice tea in labor day. This time I brew herbal tea: Piccolo (Rooibos tea scented with honey, apricot and sweet berries) from LUPICIA, without caffeine: 



Buying loose tea is much cheaper than tea bags. With 50gram tea, I can brew it for at least 20 times (compared with 10 tea bags for the same price $7.5), each time for 2 cups.

1. Put one tea spoon in a small glass bottle 
2. Use hot water (French press level)
3. Add 2 tea spoons sugar (prefer brown/can sugar) or one spoon honey when it becomes cooler (don't add honey to hot water)
3. When the bottle gets cool, put it to refrigerator for an hour, or out ice to tea for a faster solution



 The tea bottle I use to brew tea is a recycled one. It was used for juice before I use it. I also use a jar (for brown sugar), after cleaning and drying, for tea. Just cut the tea bag and stick outside the jar, you will have a nice tea jar~~~~
