How to Reuse Coffee and Coffee Grounds

As a daily drinker, I have a lot coffee grounds. In the spirit of the 3 green R's Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, I've managed to find few ways to reuse those old coffee grounds.
As a body scrub. Mix a bit of oil or cleanser into a handful of coffee grounds and exfoliate those dead those dead skin cells away! However, you should not use coffee grounds as a facial scrub because they are too sharp and rough to use on delicate facial skin.
For shiny hair and to prevent dandruff. After shampooing, rub a handful of coffee grounds through your hair to increase the shine and scalp to help prevent dandruff. Rinse the grounds out of your hair (this took awhile for me because my hair is long and it made a big mess in my shower afterwards!) Coffee may add dark highlights to dark colored hair. Blondes may want to stay away from this tip.
Make fertilizer.Place those coffee grounds in a traditional or worm compost bin. How To Reuse Coffee Grounds: The Top 10 Alternate Uses: Don't Throw Those Coffee Grounds Away ¿¿" Use Them in Daily Life!. This is a great alternative for anyone who doesn't have room for a traditional or worm compost bin.
As a plant booster. Pour coffee grounds directly on the soil around the base of roses, acid loving plants like azaleas, and unbelievably, carrots and radishes.
Make iced coffee. Freeze leftover coffee into ice cube trays. Then use those coffee cubes to cool down a warm cup of coffee..
As a deodorizer. Dry used coffee grounds on a cookie sheet. Put them into a porous container such as a paper bag (paper wine bags work well for this), a leg of pantyhose, or an empty butter tub with holes poked into the lid. I sometimes use an old room deodorizer container. Place the container in a room, refrigerator/freezer, or even in a musty smelling piece of furniture. As long as the coffee has access to air, it will trap odors and musty smells. For a short-term quick fix, I do the same thing with a freshly empty coffee can or bag in a closed closet.
To repeal garden pests. Spread coffee grounds around anthills to deter ants or mix with orange peels and spread it in a flowerbed to deter cats from using it as a litter box. However, be aware that some pets like to eat coffee grounds and that can cause coffee toxicity. The symptoms in both cats and dogs range from mild hyperexcitablity to the severe such as causing arrhythmias and seizures.
As a pot scrubber. Add a handful of coffee grounds an extra abrasive when cleaning clean stuck on food gunk from the bottom of a cast iron or metal pot or pan. However, this method may stain light color items such as porcelain sinks, pots and pans, or storage containers.
There you have it... few useful tips for reusing old coffee and coffee grounds that may not only save you money but may also help you save the planet. How do you reuse coffee grounds?

MEDAN Characteristic


EGG MILK TEA (TST)

am already showing at 8:00 tonight. However, in Castle Street, one of the places in Medan District Area, a new life began to squirm. Hundreds of bikes lined irregularly on either side of the road no more than four meters it.

Hundreds of people both young and old, men and women have the same goal. Enjoying a glass of milk tea eggs.

Long time ago I did not come to this place. But the atmosphere is not much different from my last visit here. Still busy, full of laughter and of course ngangenin.

That night we wanted to taste again the warmth of a glass of the famous TST. After entering one of the cafe, we ordered two glasses of TST.

On the other RUNGAN corner, there are two albino men had been enjoying coffee milk, the coffee with sugar and sweetened condensed milk. Unfortunately, they did not try to try milk tea eggs, drink typical of the famous field.

While in the back of the wagon, the owner was preparing our order. After pouring the milk and put an egg (only yellow of course) into a glass, he then added two spoons of sugar, and meraciknya quickly.

With a little hard work, he changed the eggs and sugar into a thick froth of pale yellow color that can be the envy of all the cake makers.

In a separate cup, he boiled the tea leaves are poured from a thermos, and then filter them into a glass-covered cream eggs. He then mixes the tea with eggs and make a foam-like café latte.

As he followed fellow tea penyeruput another egg, we poured half a cup of tea eggs into the plate - to cool it down and create pleasure without a trace of foam eggs and sugar on the lips.

I tried to take in the warmth of TST that have been presented in front of us. Flavor kelatnya sweet tea mixed with milk to create a warm sensation as a pale yellow water touched his throat and then flows slowly into the stomach. Really sedaaaap. Not one little bit fishy smell in there. I do not know why. All I know, the longing for the warmth of a glass of Chateau TST was gone already.

Well, at the Castle Street area is almost in every inch up the cafes with a uniform menu, TST. Difference only lies in the creativity of the owner of the cafe to place trades is always crowded.

There are cafes equipped facility complete with a broadcast television cable television show broadcast live English League. There is also a full cafe music. All seemed normal. All depends on you, want to choose which one.

To remember, when entering this area will smell fishy eggs directly felt in the sense of smell you. But here also the unique, too. The cure is only one, just enough milk glass of the eggs. How, you want to try it?
