The Clever Way To Reuse The Lids From Parmesan Cheese Bottles

Upcycling parmesan cheese lids to turn your Mason jars into sippy cups is one of those life hacks that will shape your world. Some people argue that Mason jars are not actually drinkware, but no one needs that sort of negativity in their lives. If you’re friends with one such person, find yourself a new friend; then, try out this fun hack to upgrade your Mason jar sipping experience the next time you’re craving pucker-worthy pink lemonade or an instant iced latte.

That green shaker top actually screws perfectly onto standard-sized Mason jars, and the different pour features make the lid very functional for drinking from. The open pour side of the lid is convenient for gulping, while the side with the holes is perfect for pretty sipping with a straw. The lids are durable and resealable, making it less likely for your drink to spill if the jar gets knocked over. This simple, eco-friendly hack not only saves you money, but it also helps reduce plastic waste in the process.

Parmesan containers are usually tossed or recycled after use, but reusing the lids on your Mason jar gives them new life. However, you definitely need to clean them first. The parmesan cheese lid should be washed in warm, soapy water and dried before drinking from it. You can also put a small rubber ring or gasket around the mouth of the jar to create a tighter seal for the new lid. If you prefer a warm beverage, you should remove the plastic parmesan lid before heating your jar in the microwave. 

Aside from transforming glass jars into DIY to-go cups, you can also use parmesan lids to create convenient shakers for items like nutritional yeast, cinnamon-sugar, hemp seeds, tea-like yerba mate, and more. There are so many resourceful ways to be both environmentally conscious and budget-minded, and upcycling parmesan cheese lids is a fun, simple, and convenient option.
