How to prepare Yerba Mate like a real Argentino!

[@lalogemmic]

im argentinian and i´d like to add a few tips. First, you block the bombilla opening on the top while sticking it into the yerba so the yerba won´t get inside the bombilla. Second, you always pour the hot water (80 degrees not 70) on the bombilla side, trying to leave the other half as dry as possible. NEVER EVER EVER EVER! move the bombilla.

[@ricardoaraoz717]

Two reasons for the "proper traditional preparation". If you share with other people then you create a proper atmosphere, people start talking among themselves while you slowly prepare the infusion. If you drink by yourself it's like smoking a pipe, look at pipe smokers, they have a ritual when they prepare their pipe, just like mate. Then they go on puffing just as you go on adding water. Finally they throw the used tobacco out of the pipe and prepare another pipe, exactly as you do with mate.

[@MarcoAntonio-tb4gx]

Dude! this video is great! Im not argentinian, and I have a friend from Argentina, and he says that its ok not to drink mate in this "traditional way" that they call "cebar mate" but you even mention the fact that the bombilla has not to be moved, and that if you do that, the people around you will get mad! hahahahahhahaha you are the best english spoken youtuber explaining how to "cebar mate" correctly, you are the best! People looking for this information and not having the knowledge of spanish language should be seing your video, because I just saw a video from another guy that do this in the wrong way, as I said I have a friend from Argentina and he says that "cebar mate" is more like a "social ritual" but you explained the thing in the right way! "this will create what we call the montañita" I really loved this!

Usually with a load of yerba, you can drink around 750 cm³ of water, with the taste intensity solowly diminishing.

[@jaydiweb1]

do we leave the yerba matte in room temperature or can we put it in a chiller before drinking the next sip? I am just asking wanting to know how to drink it properly

[@DeathTrapProductions]

A few things I can't ever seem to get right. How do you pour the hot water onto the little mountain without breaking it apart and causing sediment? Is there a particular technique to getting it from shaken to 45 degrees before adding the room temp water? For repeat servings how do you add the water without breaking it up? How do you get the bombilla to stay in place with a traditional gouard or cup? So many issues with sediment. When I get realtly frustrated I just use a french press but I know thats blasphemy. Please help.

[@mateinayerbamate]

Hi there, the trick here is to progressively add a little amount of water only at the bottom of your little slope of Yerba. If you add too much water at once, it will certainly break your montañita. It's also important to remember that at one point after many infusions it will be all flat and all the leaves will be soaked, and this is normal.

[@alexshaw7359]

What brand is your thermos?

[@fredx94]

I always do it exactly like this, but I still sometimes get little particles, which I do find a little annoying. Do you have an idea what could be the mistake, or is it normal?

[@germans90]

Hi there Frederic. It seems you have a bombilla with big holes in the bottom (unless youare talking about powder, then you need to shake the mate more before pouring the water. You could also find a sieve, which filters the small particles and the powder

[@jorydany]

Hi Frederic, if you are still struggling with this, it could be a few things: 1) maybe the yerba it's more finely milled. For example, Uruguayan and brazilian yerbas are more powdery than argentinean yerbas. So you could try with an argentinean yerba "with palo" like Playadito or Union, or try more mixed ones like Amanda o Taragui. 2) like ger (previous comment) said, you could solve this also with a sieve. You can find on amazon little bags like tea bags that you attach at the end of you bombilla to prevent this. Or find a bombilla with smaller holes. 3) Even if you have a more powdery or finely milled yerba, you can solve this by passing through a sieve first and then put that in your mate; or you could shake a bit more upside down to make sure more powder gets to your hand so you can then discard. 4) Once you shake an discard the powder on top (in your hand), then after you pour room temperature water like he explains in the video and you let it sit (which makes the yerba expands), then you can put your bombilla there in the hole side and slowly try to push, kind of clumping the yerba to one side. This will create a bit more of a barrier that will not only protect the yerba to stay dry on top and last longer, but also will help you with the yerba getting in the bombilla. You can watch how uruaguayans do this all the time with their mate. Hope this helps. From an argentinean that loves mate!😊

[@lalogemmic]

put your thumb to block the hole in the bombilla while you are sticking it into the yerba, then pour the water only next to the bombilla leaving half of the yerba as dry as possible, that should solve the issue.

[@abgc87]

@@jorydany he could, but doesn't taste the same... Uruguayn and Brazilian yerba highly recommended. It's a matter of personal taste, so u should try them all and see wich one is best for u. But what happens to Frederic is very common, so no biggie.

[@sicnarf2000]

Can I ask how much water you should add for the first infusion?

[@mateinayerbamate]

You should fill any container/gourd a little bit more than 3/4. Making sure you pour the water at the sane exact spot, leaving some leaves dry through the first few pours! 🧉

[@jimmyhybrid]

Thank you for the video which is super helpful but I got a question: Why you don’t want mess with bombilla? (Sorry if mispronounced)

[@taiswolf]

When you stir the mate, a lot of small particles of the leaf and sticks can get into the filter of the straw (bombilla), so it makes it uncomfortable to drink. Also, when you stir the mate you may be accidentally soaking the leaves at the top when you usually want them to stay dry as much as possible so you can keep adding water without losing the flavor (sorry for any grammar mistakes)

[@jimmyhybrid]

@@taiswolf wow thank you for reply! Only time I tasted mate was like 14 years ago or something! And I remember how much I did enjoy it!

[@lalogemmic]

@@taiswolf you could even block the bombilla with the yerba if you move the bombilla and if that happens you´ll have to discard that batch and start a new preparation.

[@SuperMarcoPolo7]

How do you switch the bombilla once the Yerba becomes “lavado” or tasteless?

[@CosmicBarrilet]

you never switch the Bombilla...if it is well prepared probably get full of mate or prepare a new one...but doesnt switch

[@SuperMarcoPolo7]

@@CosmicBarrilet well it’s going to get lavado at one point from drinking it too long? How do you switch the straw to drink from the other side of the Yerba that is dry? Every time I do it still tastes lavado

[@jez1107]

@@SuperMarcoPolo7 when you see the sticks floating in the water and it tastes lavado you can just take the bombilla out, move the yerba a little bit to the other side and put the bombilla in again where the yerba is dry, the thing is that when you are putting the hot water you have to integrate little by little the dry or fresh yerba so it takes more time to lose the flavor. when it tastes lavado I personally just change the yerba and start the process again or I also change the upper half part of the yerba

[@lalogemmic]

@@SuperMarcoPolo7 you dont, you start by puoring water only on the bombilla´s side, then , when you start so see it getting lavado you start pouring the water on the hole yerba. once it all gets lavado you simply throw the yerba and prepare a new mate. also water temperature is important, the hotter the water is, the faster the yerba gets lavada

[@tuananhpham3019]

[@lucasandrade6]

Well, mate is highly consumed in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay n Paraguay... in the south of Brazil mostly hot, in the rest of brazil n also Paraguay infused with cold water.

[@lalogemmic]

actually in paraguay is consumed both hot and cold depending on the season. the cold one is not called mate but tereré and it could also be infused whith fruit juice. Also in northern argentina we drink tereré during the summer

[@robinforkids]

[@danielasuarez9401]

When the sticks of the yerba starts to floating is when you need to change a part of the yerba or changing at all.

[@gwho]

What kind of filter is the straw? Can you prepare it like coffee with a filter, as long as the temperature and time are correct? You're not ingesting the particles, right?

[@Saito57G]

The straw is called a "bombilla", depending on the bombilla it might sometimes look like a straw or a spoon - it simply has perforations at the bottom to separate stems, leaves etc. or some use a filtration technique based on a spring coil (some even with double or triple filtration e.g. coil, then a small cylinder with perforations). From what I am aware - you can prepare mate like coffee using a drip coffee maker or some people even use French press for that. As for the particles - if you use a drip coffee maker then it shouldn't be a problem, cause with a gourd it is the technique the guy shows, you flip the matero so the light particles rise to the top of the "mound"

[@lalogemmic]

@@Saito57G you can prepare it with a cofee filter but it doesen´t taste quite the same, thats called "mate cocido" or cooked mate, Here in argentina you can buy it in bags like tea bags and infuse it on a cup just like a tea

You can use lower temperature water to have it less bitter.

[@islandbee]

@@Juan-ig1bh - No wonder why I've never really liked it. I think the way I've tried it has always been bitter.

[@danielasuarez9401]

Of course you can put sugar inside the yerba before shake it. And you can add honey for example inside the water...inside the yerba you can use fresh mint or ginger, what ever you like!

[@lalogemmic]

no restrictions, bitternes depends on the yerba´s brand, some are stronger others more smooth, traditionally we drink it bitter but you could add any sweetener if you feel it to be too bitter for your taste. it usually just takes some time to adjust to the bitternes and you´ll end up prefering it bitter. another option is to ad some sugar to the first 3 or four infussions and take the rest without adding sugar, that will make it go bitter at a slow rate so you can get used to it. (you could also add milk to the mate, not my taste, but some people do)

[@simonpantera]

How am I supposed to know that the temperature of the water is 70 degrees? Buy a thermometer?

[@XYpsilonLP]

There are several possibilities. You can buy a kettle with a thermostat. You can start boiling the water and remove it when small bubbles appear. You can boil it and let it cool - maybe use a thermometer the first few times until you know how long it takes to cool down. Then just let it sit 10 or 15 minutes after boiling. Or you can boil water and mix it with cold water. How much you need to add depends on your water temperature.
