Re-using tea leaves?
I have some looseleaf tea that my Dad got in China. He told me each bag of leaves can be reused three times, and in his opinion, they are best the second time around. I am wondering, though... how long can the wet leaves sit out between uses? I enjoy my tea, but not enough to drink three mugs in a row (maybe two). I don't want to be wasteful, but don't want to get sick either. Right now I err on the side of prudence and toss them after a few hours.
