That's like complaining coffee's bad because you drunk Nescafe. Buy a bag of leaves and brew your own, then post again.

admittedly coffee is probably just as cancerogenic, especially if you smoke while drinking

Argentinean here, maybe you should try making the real thing. I could teach you

[Anonymous No.8817606]

What is yerba mate? A tea? Is it cancerous?

[Anonymous No.8817610]

only white girls drink that shit. its their market.

[Anonymous No.8817621]

does this stuff make you stoned?

[Anonymous No.8817624]

>>8817591
Fuck it, might as well post it, maybe someone here would like to know
First of all, this is the yerba I'm using

[Anonymous No.8817627]

>>8817624
Then you need to fill your mate with this much yerba, to much and you'll make a mess, too little and it'll be flavorless

[Anonymous No.8817629]

>>8817627
Then you cover the top of the Mate with the palm of your hand, tilt it sideways and shake, in order to make this slope, this is where the water will go

[Anonymous No.8817630]

>>8815208
If you think that's bad, try a bottle of German Club Mate. It tastes like someone boiled rotting raisins in water, bottled it and sold it to people.

[Anonymous No.8817634]

>>8817629
Then you add a bit of cold or warm water and let it rest for a few minutes

[Anonymous No.8817640]

>>8817634
Then you add some hot water, and stick the bombilla in there. And wa-la there is your mate. Remember to pour the water where the bombilla is, try to keep half the yerba dry for as long as you can, to extend the flavor

Thanks anon

so good! most of the time when i drink it it's usually with other people, like it brings people together, maybe just me

[Anonymous No.8817660]

>>8817650
Well, it's a social drink, wherever you go you'll see people sharing mate. But it's also a very comforting drink when alone, I think Cortazar called it Argentinean's third lung

This drink is only for flavor, yes? Its not drugs? Most of the times i see such specific instructions is for drugs.

[Anonymous No.8817749]

You've never heard of coffee or tea, then?

[Anonymous No.8817859]

>>8817733
It's a stimulant, in the same vein as coffee, that's as much of a drug as it gets

I generally prefer the lazy paraguayan way aka don't bother with slopes, just fill it up and stick the bombilla in there an apply hot water (not boiling though obviously)
any good bombilla will be able to filter without the slope thing anyway

[Anonymous No.8818517]

>>8817640
So you keep refilling with hot water after you drink until all the yerba is wet?

[Anonymous No.8818538]

>>8817627
How much do you use for a regular size mug for those of us who do not have the appropriate vessel to drink from?

[Anonymous No.8818542]

>>8818517
yep, refill untill you lose flavour (usually about 10 refills). if you did the slope thing you can also reform the slope on the other side, that should give you some bonus refills
if you're drinking alone it's better to pick a small cup since you'll be drinking at least several of them

[Anonymous No.8818543]

>>8818538
try 1/3 of the tea cup if you're just starting out, though most seasoned drinkers use 2/3 to 3/4
don't use a mug if you're drinking alone, they're too big

[Anonymous No.8818546]

>>8815208
buy it as loose leaf tea, you fag.

[Anonymous No.8818913]

>>8818500
You do the slope thing in order to keep half the yerba dry for as long as possible, as you refill you should gradually work towards the other end with the water. Doing it the lazy way is just, well, lazy, any picture you see on the internet where the entirety of the Yerba is wet is the wrong way to make mate, imo. See this pic >>8816091. I can already tell that mate will be flavorless in 2 or 3 fefills

[Anonymous No.8819460]

>>8818913
it does lose it's flavour faster but that's not necessarily a bad thing. when I'm having my morning yerba 10 refills is more than enough, 15 would take too much time and it's not like that's wasting the yerba, it's just slightly stronger and there's slightly less refills

[Anonymous No.8819674]

>>8819460
Well, you are right, I guess it's a preference thing, I just like my mate really strong
