About this Brown Yerba Mate Gourd
Traditionally used to infuse Yerba Mate, this fruit grown on a Calabash tree must be cleaned properly to avoid bitterness in the first Mate infusions. To clean, fill it with boiling water and let it stand for 15 minutes. Then gently scrape the inner membranes with a spoon under running water (without removing the center root), rinse, and let dry.
Preparation
- Fill with 2/3 dry Yerba Mate leaves
- Insert the bombilla (straw)
- Pour cold water to the top of the leaves and wait for them to absorb the water
- Complete with hot water (70-80 °C)
- Do not stir
- Sweeten to taste
