Can you use a tea bag twice? If you can't ; why not?

Question

It was just a question that came in my mind when I was making tea!! I said to myself ask Yahoo! before I make mistake and do something I wasn't supposed to do.

Answer 1

you can use it again, but each use it will make weaker & weaker tea.

Answer 2

If you take out the teabag after a few minutes, then you can use it to infude many times. But if you are like me, always put the teabag and never take out until I finish the drink, I think it can only be use once. The second times, somehow it has less taste ... I only taste the milk and sugar, and very little tea. maybe because I was using a triangular teabag, but I think it work the same for all teabags.

Answer 3

Good question.

If a person drinks weak tea I would think so. MMM tea smells good, yummy yummy lol!

Not to easy to make a mistake here :0)

Answer 4

Sometimes I can't, the second cup comes out too weak. However, if you let your tea only steep onlyl 1 minute, you should be able to use it 3 times.

Answer 5

Yeah, you can use it until it doesn't saturate the water enough (which you will be able to tell by taste). This is usually 2-4 times.

Answer 6

You can use a teabag twice, but the second brewing won't have as much flavor as the first.

Answer 7

Yes but the second brewing will be weaker and less flavorful.

Answer 8

Sure you can...I don't though because after using it once it's not strong enough for a second cup.

Answer 9

Yes,you can as long as you don`t want your tea stong.

Answer 10

You can but the tea will be "weaker"
