How to prepare mate like an Argentinian
Is there a correct way to drink & prepare Argentine & Uruguayan mate? Although each person has their own method to prepare and enjoy this organic infusion, there are indeed some key steps to follow if you wish for your mate to taste good for a decent amount of time.
Here’s the step-by-step to make this traditional South American drink:
- Fill 3/4 of the mate with the yerba mate of your choice.
- Cover the mate with the palm of your hand, place it upside down and shake it. This will help the herb’s components distribute properly.
- When you turn the mate over again, make sure that the yerba is at 45°C.
- Moisten the lower part of the yerba with a drop of warm water.
- Place the straw (known as ‘bombilla’ in Spanish) against the inner wall of the container. (Remember not to move it anymore after this step!)
- Brew your mate progressively.
