Default Reducing caffeine (pre-soaking)

Hi

Trying to reduce caffeine intake (I drink 4-5 cups of tea, green and
black combined) but want to preserve both flavor and flavonoids. Have
heard that since caffeine is water soluble, soaking it in 30 secs will
reduce caffeine a lot.

My question is

Does soaking it in hot water or lukewarm water make any difference in
terms of caffeine content or flavor/flavonoids.

Thanks

Shriram
