Tea Bone posted:My Step Dad just got back from a trip through South America and brought me back some Yerba Mate plus a wooden cup and a straw to drink it through. How am I supposed to prepare/drink this stuff? I've just tried preparing it the way he said the locals seemed to do it, filled the cup 3/4 of the way with Mate, put the straw in, then topped it up with water at about 65c. First few sips seemed they would have been pleasant had I not got mouth fulls of leaves along with the drink, I figured this was down to me putting the straw in before the water. I rinsed the straw out and tried again to better results, but after a few minuets it got far to bitter to drink. Am I supposed to down it in one go, then top up? I recall reading a Patagonian travelogue that mentions Yerba Mate in some detail. Apparently it's supposed to be bitter as all hell, especially near the bottom. Also, you're not supposed to drink the leaves if you can help it.
