When making tea/instant coffee/hot chocolate etc. on Shabbat, it is supposed to be done in three vessels, so that the boiling water cools off and doesn't cook the powder. The urn is the first, then there's an intermediate cup for pouring, and then it gets poured into your cup (teabag goes in after). (See Shmirat Shabbat C'hilchatah 1:57)
If someone forgot to do the cli shlishi, instead adding the tea to the second cup after the water was put in it, can the tea or whatever still be drunk?
Answer
As we learnt here , there are opinions that one does not need a Kli-Shlishi for tea.
As a result, if you skipped that step, you can drink the tea.
Why?
Because once there is any valid opinion that what you did is not Chilul Shabbat, then the resultant product is permitted, even if you personally hold like the opposing view, and even if the Shulchan Aruch decided like the opposing opinion.

נח: כל דבר השנוי במחלוקת הפוסקים אם מותר לעשותו בשבת או אסור, אף אם ההלכה נפסקה בשלחן ערוך לאסור, בדיעבד שעבר ועשה כן אפילו במזיד, מותר ליהנות מדבר זה בשבת, ואין לאסור משום הנאה ממעשה שבת. [ילקו''י שבת כרך ג עמוד עו].
