Again, it all depends on the strength that you're looking for.

TEMPERATURE

Yerba Mate can be infused with hot (65 to 80 ° C) or cold water. One important thing to remember is to never use boiling water.
Boiling water burns all the nutrients and makes bitter Yerba Mate.

Remember to always moisten your Yerba Mate with cool water before infusing with hot water. This will protect the flavour and the nutrients. Avoid Boiling Water! Boiling water burns all the nutrients and it makes bitter Yerba Mate. Simmering water (between 65 and 80 °C) is ideal. Avoid over-steeping Yerba Mate (5 minutes maximum). Also, make sure to never leave water in the Yerba Mate between infusions Avoid moving the Bombilla once inserted. Stirring will steep all the herb at once, and it may also clog the Bombilla.
