teas.co.uk · 6 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 pyramid tea bag of Teapigs Yerba Mate
• 250ml freshly drawn water cooled to 80C

Method

1. Warm your mug and boil the kettle, then give the water time to reach around 80C for the mate, checked by thermometer or a temperature kettle.
2. Drop in one pyramid bag and pour the cooled water over.
3. Cover and steep for four minutes.
4. Lift the mate bag out and drain it on the rim.
5. Drink it clean and unsweetened to taste it at its best.
6. Tip: boiling water is the usual mistake; too hot and mate turns bitter, so always let the kettle cool first.
