Drinking it like tea? blech. For someone trying it for the first time I generally fill up a gourd all the way with yerba, and add some sugar to the top before pouring in hot water. If they like it, then I'll pour in just water (same batch of yerba in the gourd) and see what they think, but soaking yerba in water like tea just doesn't seem right.
