Cleaning My Tea / Coffee Maker Organically

written by Rebecca E. Parsons

You know that I love my tea. I enjoy probably three cups every day. I start each day with a hot, steamy cup of Bigelow Plantation Mint. I brew it in my handy-dandy Hamilton BeachThe Scoop®. I love this Single-Serve Coffee Maker…however, I use it to brew my tea.

    I swear baking soda has some sort of magical properties. It cleans pretty much anything, and has hundreds of other uses</a?
