How bad is this?

I put TWO green tea bags in hot water with sugar.  Is it bad that I double the tea bags?  I just want some extra "oomph" in my drink.

It isn't any worse than if you were to drink two mugs of tea.  Obviously you're getting double the caffeine, but I don't think that's a problem.  If you order a Venti green tea at SBUX, you get two tea bags.

Not bad at all.  A moderate amount of caffeine isn't necessarily bad for you - not that it's good for you either, but as long as you don't have any health problems related to caffeine - you're fine.  Drink up and enjoy. :-)

I think it would be much worse to drink a monster sized energy drink.

In the realm of things, I don't consider that very bad at all.

Depends how much sugar

Two tea bags is NBD.

Probably better than my 2 travel mugs of coffee every morning

And now I want green tea!

Probably still has less caffeine than a cup of coffee.

That's what I was thinking.  Just felt kind of bad how I'm making it more "potent" for some reason..  And just one bag of splenda (which I know probably isn't good either)..

DH loves splenda too.  I eat enough imitation things since I can't digest milk, so I stick to real sugar

Are you avoiding caffeine for a reason or just preference?
