Good Morning Mate

First things first,

You must obtain a Pava(Teapot), Mate Gourd and a Bombilla (Mate straw)

Ingredients:

Yerba Mate

Sugar

Coffee (I use Folgers)

Water

To start, pour water in the Teapot and heat stove on Medium-High.

While water is heating up, grab the Yerba and a spoon, fill in Gourd halfway or enough to cover the ring of your straw.

Add some sugar

Shake it so the Sugar brushes the Yerba down, this will make the Yerba's powder/dust gets brushed down so the flavor wont be too strong.

Then add about a Teaspoon of Coffee. I don't put in so much because if i do then the coffee will overpower the Mate flavor.

Add some more sugar to serve your first Mate.

Fill in the Mate with warm water, not hot. ( We don't want to burn the Yerba)

Let it stand for a minute, while the water keeps heating in the Teapot, so the Yerba can soak well.

When the water is hot enough (not boiling), remove it from the stove and pour a little in the Mate.

Take the first sip and empty the Mate. This might sound gross, but you may spit water in the sink, since the first serve wont be so enjoyable. 

Add sugar to taste.

Pour in hot water.

And drink up!

Every time you finish, pour in some more and share with friends and family. You may heat up the water more if you'd like or add cold water if its too hot!

I hope you enjoy it!
