    At the end of the day, what you need to do is either drink a lot more of it, or concentrate it somehow.

    Just guessing wildly (no idea if these ideas would work), but the best options I see are to cold brew it (put in water in fridge and let steep overnight). Cold brew coffee tends to be higher in caffeine than normal brew, so it might work the saw for tea. Might also make the tea insanely bitter, idk. Second would be to essentially distill your tea. After it’s done steeping, take the tea out and boil it more, until most of the water is gone. Repeat a few times until you have a lot of boiled down tea and then drink it. This might get disgusting quick, but would be effectively the same to drinking multiple cups, just with less overall liquid.

    Or, I suppose, buy a kilogram of pure caffeine powder and add a few mgs to your tea for an extra boost (maybe that’s more acceptable than energy drinks?).

    Hope these ideas help! Just some off-the-cuff suggestions I’ve never tried

      Also get a milligram scale if you’re doing this. It’s hard for most people to overdose on caffeine in a medically significant way with tea or coffee; it’s easy with powder.

        Of course! If you do to the caffeine powder route, please do what the other commenter also recommended: get an mg scale and dose carefully. Coffee normally runs in the ~60 - 300mg range, depending on number of shots, etc. Going too far above can be dangerous, depending on your individual tolerance, height, weight, etc.

        Basically, do some research, figure out what a safe amount for your individual situation is, and go slow. Don’t dump spoonfuls of powdered caffeine into your tea because of some idiot’s recommendation online.
