How to prepare an Argentine mate?
* First ....
What is mate?
Mate is a drink / infusion that many people take, in Argentina and nears countries. Sharing mates is an act of friendship which brings people closer together. In short: It is similar to a hot coffee or tea infusion, but in this case we use yerba mate, with the particularity that is taken with a "bombilla".
I am going to talk about what is here in Argentina.
THE MATE:
* Responsible for meetings of friends.
*Recreation
* Relaxation.
* Coworker.
* It gives you the push of the morning.
To prepare it !!!!!
1- We prepare the water at about 80 °. Be careful not to overdo it, because if that were the case, the grass would burn. It would have a very strong taste, we would burn and we would "wash" very quickly. (Washing is simply that the taste loses the yerba, practically drinking water with little taste of yerba).
2- Put the yerba in the mate. Approximately 3/4 of mate.
3- Put the palm of the hand on the "mouth" of the mate. Turn the mate and shake so that the powder is against our palm. This will prevent the bulb from being covered with dust. Before ending this practice we should leave the grass tilted to the side. (It should look like the picture)
4- Water slowly on the wall where the hole is without wetting all the grass.
5- Put the bulb in the same place where we put the water.
6- Follow these steps again and again.
* Suck for the bulb.
* Serve the mate again (put water again)
* Pass it to our partner of MATE.
* Re-prime.
* Etc.
Capitals sins:
1- Never wash the bulb, clean it with a cloth. It's an offense to the one I took before. Many see it as something strange that everyone sucks from the same place.
2- You should never "lavar" the mate. You must not lose your taste.
Variants:
Mates: Wood, pumpkin, ceramics, glass, metal, plastic, etc.
Mode: Bitter, sweet (with sugar). I like bitter.
