Brewing Your Yerba Mate

The tradition of drinking yerba mate is such an important part of the South American culture. This is specifically the case in Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. It is also enjoyed in other South American countries. Typically, it is drunk from a natural gourd (a hollowed out fruit) used as a cup. The drinker sips the infusion through a metal straw known as a bombilla The bombilla has a filtered end to separate the infusion from the yerba leaves.

In Paraguay it is more traditional to enjoy mate or tereré from a Guampa (mate cup made from horn) or a wooden cup, but of course, Paraguayan yerba is just as suited to drinking from a natural gourd, or any other type of mate cup, of course with a bombilla!

Instructions on how to brew hot yerba mate can be found here, and how to brew terere (cold mate) here.
