What do you do with tea?

Besides the health benefits, there are tons of things tea can be used for. Over the next month or so I'll be sharing some of the ways I use tea.

Tea Tan: a healthy alternative to sun and tanning beds
Tan your skin with tea by brewing 2 cups of strong black tea, let it cool, pour into plastic spray bottle. Make sure your skin is clean and dry. Then spray the tea directly on your skin and let it air dry. Repeat as desired for a healthy looking glowing tan.

So, what do you do with tea?

To dream a little dream of tea

While doing some research I came across, What's In A Dream, by Gustavus Hindman Miller, Copyright 1901, and thought it might interest some of my tea drinking visitors.


Tea
To see your friends drinking tea, and you with them, denotes that social pleasures will pall on you, and you will seek to change your feelings by serving others in their sorrows.

To see dregs in your tea, warns you of trouble in love, and affairs of a social nature.

To spill tea, is a sign of domestic confusion and grief.

To find your tea chest empty, unfolds much disagreeable gossip and news.

To dream that you are thirsty for tea, denotes that you will be surprised with uninvited guests.


Teacups
To dream of teacups, foretells that affairs of enjoyment will be attended by you. For a woman to break or see them broken, omens her pleasure and good fortune will be marred by a sudden trouble. To drink wine from one, foretells fortune and pleasure will be combined in the near future.


Teakettle
To dream you see a teakettle, implies sudden news which will be likely to distress you. For a woman to pour sparkling, cold water from a teakettle, she will have unexpected favor shown her.
