In this method, caffeine is extracted from tea. The type of tea that is used isn't very important (as long as it is caffeinated). The amount of caffeine recovered is small, but this is for fun and not for large yields.

I adapted the procedure from here: http://employees.oneonta.edu/knauerbr/chem226/226expts/226_expt06_pro.pdf
