Surprisingly, decaf coffee contains a small amount of caffeine too — and so does decaf black tea (2 to 5 milligrams per cup). According to the FDA, there are 30 to 50 milligrams of this compound in each cup of green or black tea. Generally, one tea bag is about 0.07 ounces (2 grams) — that’s enough for a cup of tea.
Tools You’ll Need
- Simmer the Water Bring half of the water to a simmer. We don’t say “boil” here because temperature matters when it comes to tea.
- Steep Combine the hot water with the appropriate number of tea bags (or loose-leaf tea).
- Strain, Dilute and Chill
