Answer by  jclick (1561)

Tea will stain paper. This technique is often used for school projects when students want to make their paper look old. You can also use coffee for a darker brown color. In order to do this, pour brewed tea into a shallow dish. Submerge the paper in the tea for 5 - 10 minutes, then dry the paper overnight.
