That's how I make tea. Steep it for a few hours. Then throw it out and try again.

    If you don't mind peppermint it is a great tea to do this with.

    Tastes good hot or cold with ice and you can steep it for a long time without it getting bitter.

    If you forget it just put it in the fridge when you encounter it later.

    I can't second this, fresh my peppermint tea tastes like peppermint, when I let it steep too long it tastes, let's say, leafy and more like spearmint, and leaves a feeling in my mouth like I've chewed on rubber. The freshness is gone, I guess the menthol evaporates. I take two bags, and let it steep for no more than 5 minutes.

    I hope my descriptions make sense, taste is hard to describe!
