Is it possible to reuse tea leaves or tea bags?

Sometimes, for economy and convenience, tea needs to be reused. Is it possible to do this?

Many people pour hot water over both loose leaf tea and tea bags to get a second serving. Theoretically, there are no risks associated with a second use. The main thing is not to leave the tea bag in the cup. Tea bags can release small plastic particles into the environment.

In this regard, loose leaf tea is more suitable for re-brewing. The substances from the leaves are released into the water at different rates. Sometimes they require more time to brew.

Techinsider experts also reminded us of other rules for brewing tea. It is better not to drink very strong tea - it causes headaches, insomnia, and interferes with iron absorption.
