Fish it out! That's what your teaspoon is for. If you keep letting a
bag tea steep, it will get progressively more tannic. At some point it
will get very nasty.

I used to work with an Indian professor who would mix milk and water,
put it in a tea bag, and put it into the microwave. The end result was
kind of scary, actually.
