They are drying out on a sheet pan and I will put them in the soil of my plants on the deck. They work well as a fertilizer. -- Member me&my2girls Homemade Iced Tea I filled a jug 3/4 full of water, poured the water into a pot, set it to boil, added 4 teabags, boiled it for 4 min, added a cup of sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice, let it cool, poured it back into the container, topped it up with ice.
