You are definitely using tea bags incorrectly! We found out why they actually have a thread

Almost all everyday things can perform functions that we simply do not realize. For example, we are all used to the fact that tea bags have a string attached to them. Most people are sure that it exists only to make it easy to get the bag out of the cup of tea. However, even such a thing has a hidden function.

A blogger with the nickname sky_nolan15 showed on TikTok how to use tea bags with a thread. She showed how to make sure that neither the bag nor the thread weighs down when you drink tea.

The blogger showed a simple trick to keep the tea bag in place even when there is no tea left in the paper cup. Most people use a string to remove the teabag from the cup, which is easy to do with a regular spoon. In addition, tea bags are intuitively designed to float in boiling water, which means they are very easy to remove.

To make the tea stronger and the bag does not interfere with its consumption, the piece of paper at the end of the thread should be divided into two parts. Then you just need to attach it to the bottom of the paper cup and bend it. This way, the sachet will stay firmly in the cup.
