The brewing instructions on the box for this dandelion root tea said steep 12 minutes.

But I think it should have said steep for 12 [i]seconds[/i] because after having the teabag in for less than half a minute, it was already so dark that it practically looked like grape juice.

Yeah, I guess you're right, it's for a big amount of water.

Probably need to steep it that long to extract the healthy chemicals in it.

Yeah, I think it was indicating for a whole pot of tea, not just one cup.

Be cold after 12 minutes!

The passion tea I drink turns the water blood red almost instantly. I always let it steep longer than the 5ish? minutes it suggests.

I have a few boxes of tea in my cabinet but I'm at my sister's house and she has an entire wooden chest full of weird and exotic different kinds of tea. I often take one at random and give it a try.
