Traditional way of preparation of yerba mate requires special cup - gourd, or cup made from special type of wood - palo santo,also requires bombilla - straw for drinking mate (can be made from metal, bamboo).
- Fill the mate gourd to two-thirds full with yerba mate.
- Accomodate the yerba mate on one side of the mate gourd, leaving a hollow area on the other side.
-
Add a little cold water into the hollow area you have created. Add just
enough water so as to not moisten the very top of the yerba mate.
- Leave the mate gourd tilted for a few minutes until the yerba mate has absorbed the water.
-
Cover the mouth of the bombilla with your thumb, and insert the
filtered end to the bottom of themate gourd in the hollow area.
-
Add hot (150 degrees F) water to the hollow area until it reaches just
below the top of the yerba mate, and you have your first prepared drink!
- Sip all the tea from the mate gourd, and add more hot water. Add water, sip, repeat. Got it?
-
The first few drinks are strong; the flavor will weaken as more water
is added for each drink. Replace the yerba mate as needed.
