Brilio.net - A number of people have a morning routine of drinking tea. Not without reason, the flavonoid compounds in tea can help reduce inflammation in the body. Not only that, the aroma of tea can also provide calm for some people.
How to make tea is also fairly easy. Just boil the tea until it boils then strain it into a glass or teapot. So that the tea doesn't spill and the dregs don't get in, you need a filter during this process. Out there, tea filters are sold in various sizes.
However, tea filters that are used for too long can become dirty. Especially if the tea strainer is rarely washed after use. As a result, the appearance is filled with black crust. If this is the case, it is not enough to wash the tea strainer using ordinary dish soap.
As a solution, you can rub the tea strainer with a citrus solution. After rubbing for a while, the stubborn stains on the tea strainer were gone. If this is the case, just wash the tea strainer using dish soap as usual.
But don't just use citrus, it turns out there are other cleaning agents that can be used. An Instagram user @priya_dwarke showed how in one of her video uploads. This netizen appears to have replaced citrus with other cleaning agents. Curious about how?

For maximum cleanliness, he also added one kitchen ingredient, namely 1 tablespoon of dishwashing soap to the boiled water. Stir then put the tea strainer into it. Make sure all parts of the tea strainer are completely submerged in the boiled water.
"Boil for 15 minutes (boil for 15 minutes)," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @priya_dwarke on Thursday (30/5).

After boiling for 15 minutes, turn off the stove heat. Pour in enough dish soap then scrub the tea strainer with an old toothbrush. Without expending extra effort, the black stains on the tea filter disappear instantly.
