Yerba Mate

I just read an old post regarding Yerba Mate and the wonderful benefits it has given to Acne sufferers. I'm interested in giving it a try so I checked out a site for it and was about to order when I read the preparation method...sounded a bit odd and slightly tedious for when I'm rushing out the door for work in the morning. :) My question - if you've tried this tea, how do YOU prepare yours? I was planning to just put the recommended amt. into a mug, pour hot water over it and let it steep for a couple of minutes. Would this be good enough to get the same benefits?

Thanks in advance!
