If you are drinking tea for the caffeine content it's best to steep the bag for as long as possible, iirc it takes about 15 minutes for ~95% of the caffeine to extract. One teabag usually has 60-80mg of caffeine so equivalent to one cup of instant coffee.
It's also gonna be super bitter at this point.
That's why you load it with a half cup of sugar.
Or just slam it like you're doing a Jager Bomb
That's an energy drink for cheapskates then.
Add milk until the colour of He-man
You can always coldbrew it
Tiny bit of lemon fixes that pretty well.
Will try next time I forget that my tea is still brewing ;)
