🌱☕️ Don't Toss Those Grounds! ☕️🌱
As coffee lovers, we often find ourselves brewing cup after cup of our favorite morning elixir. But what happens to those used coffee grounds? Instead of tossing them in the trash, why not give them a second life? Coffee grounds have a multitude of uses that can benefit your garden, your home, your beauty routine, and even your cooking.
How to Dry Coffee Grounds
Drying used coffee grounds is easy and ensures they're ready for reuse in recipes and DIY projects. Here's a quick guide:
- Spread Out the Grounds: After brewing, spread the used coffee grounds on a baking sheet in a thin, even layer.
- Air Dry: Leave the grounds to air dry for several hours or overnight. Stir occasionally to speed up the process.
- Oven Dry (Optional): For quicker results, place the baking sheet in a low-temperature oven (120°C) for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Store: Once completely dry, store the coffee grounds in an airtight container until you're ready to use them.
These dried grounds are perfect for gardening, deodorizing, beauty treatments, and adding a unique flavor to your cooking!
