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.
Tiny bit of lemon fixes that pretty well.
Will try next time I forget that my tea is still brewing ;)
