What can I do with 60 mint teabags?!

[CraicMammy]

I was given loads whilst I was pregnant, I really don’t like mint tea. Can I use the mint for anything else?

Mint tea wine!

It's an acquired taste - persevere!

Hmm I like the mint tea wine idea! 🥂 thanks!!

Use the dried mint for making a minted lamb dish.

Used the dried mint for making mint sauce.

You can use them to add falvour to various savoury dishes, eg chuck in a teabag into the water when cooking rice (if you are serving it with something that will go with mint), or into a lamb casserole, or into the stock when making pea soup (take it out before eating, obviously!).

But if you don't like the flavour of mint tea, it may be easier just to give them to a friend who does - or to take them into work and leave at the tea station.

Give them to someone who likes mint tea 😀

Give them to the cat. It will be messy but entertaining.

You could use the mint tea to make ice cubes for cocktails (I don't like mint tea either...)

I have no idea if that will turn out okay, though...

Glad I'm not alone in my mint tea dislike. It gives me awful heart burn. I prefer nice gentle camomile but, of course, nearly every café I know of stopped serving camomile tea, last year. I can't even use my John Lewis free cake and cuppa vouchers any more.

Deodoriser for the bin ...

Food bank

send to my sister

Donate them to the food bank

Why don’t restaurants serve chamomile tea anymore?! I missed that.

If the teabags hadn’t been sat in a cupboard for at least a year, I would deffo foodbank.

Thanks for the ice cube idea, that’s a winner!

Put them in your bath or do a foot bath when you've been on your feet all day ?
Step them and use them as an eye mask?

Use them to clean the kitchen floor - add a couple of bags to a bucket of hot water with some white vinegar

Pop them in shoes to deodorise them. I got some free with a shopping delivery and that's what they're used for in our house now.

Add a bag of mint when boiling potatoes then take it out. It makes a huge difference.

Shoe fresheners?

Doh, not awake enough to RTFT and see exact same suggestion 2 posts ago

Far more succinct though sequence

Use the OLIO food sharing app and see if there is anyone in your area who would like them.

Use them for mojitos - make a sugar syrup by boiling up white sugar with a small amount of water. Add the mint teabag to this and you'll have minty sugar syrup. Take the teabag out then cool and bottle the syrup.

I tried this once when we couldn't get fresh mint for a cocktail party and it works a treat.
