You CAN leave it in for as long as you want. However, when the water becomes lukewarm the tea will not disperse into the water. The water MUST be hot if you want the water to become tea, otherwise you will only have some dirty water.

The shelf life of a tea bag stored in a pantry or on the shelf is 6-12 months. You can extend the use by date up to 1 year longer if you store it in a freezer.
