Brew it hot and let it chill or cold steep it leaving the buds in the pitcher over night. I once cold steeped the buds over night and put a lilac flower in the water as well. The flavor was beautiful. Any way you prepare it, the brew is refreshing, energizing, and a beautiful deep green.
Preparing it hot is probably the easiest way to enjoy yerba mate buds. The liquor is deep green, the aroma is strong and yet subtle, and the taste speaks for itself.
The big flavors and hefty mouthfeel of yerba mate buds allows for limitless flavor combinations. Above are chamomile flowers, dried rose buds, a chai mixture (with cinnamon, cardamom pods, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice), and dried hibiscus flowers. The strong taste of the buds allows for mixing with smooth, cooling, spicy, floral, and sweet flavors. Try your own and let us know how it went!
