Can anyone here give some advice/info on resteeping.

I just skimmed the thread and did a quick google search and the general advice was "experiment". The closest I got to actual quantified info was just add 30~ seconds to each additional steeping.

Anyone here familiar with Mate?

I read some posts on the previous page and somethings on internet and I don't like the imprecise directions on the "Traditional Method"( Fill gourd 3/4 full, pour hot, but not boiling water, add other stuff maybe, drink)Don't have a gourd, so I winged it and treated it like tea. 1 teaspoon(~2 grams) of the stuff/Cup of Water, water at ~150°F. 5 Minutes.
Tastes like green tea, I read that it was suppose be green tea-like but more earthy, etc. Probably not enough stuff and not long enough?

Most precise recipes comes from French Press ones, though there's still a bit of variance. 2 teaspoons to 5 tablespoons/Cup, 150-170°F Water, 3-15 Minutes. I'm willing to experiment but just wondering if I could save time and material with a exact recipe.

I asked a similar question in the coffee thread, what are some good iced tea recipes?
