Decaf
In fact, most decaf beverages tastes the same as caffeinated counterparts.
Shorten Brew Time
Lessen the brew time when making tea so as to cut down the caffeine content in the pot.
Check your medications
Some over-the-counter pain killers have caffeine content as high as 130 mg per dose. Do take note and moderate on consuming caffeinated drinks through the rest of the day.
Take note on Sodas
