• 1 pyramid tea bag of Teapigs Yerba Mate
• 250ml freshly drawn water cooled to 80C
• 1 250ml mug, warmed
• 1 saucer for covering during steep

Method

1. Warm your mug, boil the kettle, then let it stand for about a minute to drop to roughly 80C.
2. Drop in one pyramid bag and pour the cooled water over.
3. Cover and steep for four minutes.
4. Lift out the bag, draining it against the rim.
