Household Hints

• Raw coffee beans, soaked in water and spices, are chewed like candy in many parts of Africa.

• When shopping for perfume, take some coffee beans with you in your bag and have a good sniff in between smelling each perfume to refresh your nose!

• Sprinkle spent coffee grounds around the base of your garden plants and it will stop snails and slugs from munching them.

• A mixture of coffee grounds and sugar fed to a pot plant and watered regularly, will revive houseplants that have turned yellow in winter.
