Ease the ache of a minor burn

-

Ouch! While making a casserole for the church potluck, you brushed up against a hot pan and got a minor burn. For fast relief, wet a black tea bag with cold water and place on the irritated skin. The cold soothes pain on contact and the tea’s tannic acid draws heat from the burn to reduce redness and inflammati­on.
