EcoTeas Recipes

Brew Mate in a French Press

  1. Pour some EcoTeas Organic Yerba Mate Loose Tea into a French press (1-2 tablespoons per cup, depending on desired strength).
  2. Moisten the herb with cool water to protect the flavor and nutrients.
  3. Fill the French press with 150 F water (never boiling).
  4. Steep 5 minutes and plunge.
  5. You can also use cold water and steep for ten minutes, if you are making iced tea.

To make stronger mate, use more yerba. Don't brew longer than 5 minutes, as mate becomes bitter with over-steeping. The French press method is ideal if you want to add other herbs for additional flavor and benefits (see below for suggestions).
