EcoTeas Recipes
Brew Mate in a French Press
- Pour some EcoTeas Organic Yerba Mate Loose Tea into a French press (1-2 tablespoons per cup, depending on desired strength).
- Moisten the herb with cool water to protect the flavor and nutrients.
- Fill the French press with 150 F water (never boiling).
- Steep 5 minutes and plunge.
- 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).
