You can perform a 'tea transplant', which is a new procedure just trialled in the US!.

You make an incision along the seam of the bag and carefully remove the tea with tweezers!. The make an incision in another Tea bag, and again remove the Tea, a piece at a time, and place it directly into the old bag!.

The carefully stitch the seam back up with the new tea in it, and reuse!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes you can but the next cup of tea will not be a strong, of coarse it all depends on how dark or light you like your tea to be , I usually make a large tea pot with 2 bags

I've got a friend who reuses hers 3 or 4 times!. Don't forget, those tea bags are powerful enough make an entire pot of tea!. As others said, you'll probably have to steep it a bit longer the older it gets, but there's no real problem here!.

Good for you for being economical!. It's a small thing, but all the small things add up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, but the tea will be weaker unless you leave it in the water longer than before!. It will probably also be a little bitter and more acid, so add a bit of sugar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Are you really that cheap you can't use another new tea bag, come on, you really have that much time on your hands to ask such a stupid questions!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you save three used (once) teabags and use them together they still won't have the flavor or strength one originally un-used used tea bag will give you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can reuse it though it might need to steep a little longer to get the strength you want!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

my friends always double dip the tea bag - not as good as the first cup though !.!.!. never is !.!.!. most of the flavor is gone

make a thermos full and carry it with you !Www@FoodAQ@Com
