You are faced with a dilemma: you want a cup of decaf tea, but all the tea you have is caffeinated. Good news! There is no need to run out and buy new tea because it just takes a few simple steps to make tea almost completely caffeine free.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Brew a cup of the caffeinated tea as normal. Let the tea bag sit in the water for 45 seconds to 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the tea bag and dump out the tea water.

  3. Step 3

    Pour more hot water over the same tea bag. Most of the caffeine will have depleted from the first brewing.

  4. Step 4

    Leave the tea bag in a few minutes longer then usual to make up for the fact that the tea bag was already used.

  5. Step 5

    Drink your decaf tea.

on 8/1/2008 This sounds awesome, but I must ask does this actually work? Where did you hear about this? I love drink tea at night, but I hate buying decaf tea.
