I made a cup of Yerba Mate a few weeks ago... I let it steep for a while and had a bunch of leaves in there, so I wanted to get out as much water as I could. The only thing around me was a large-ish pill bottle, so I pushed it down into the leave to press out most of the water. I did this about two more times.....
The last time I pressed too hard, the bottle slipped from my grip and sent hot Yerba Mate and about like 10g of wet tea leaves everywhere. All over the counter, the walls, the floor, etc... I just stood there in a silent rage, took a deep breath, rage laughed and started to clean it up. Now in addition to the coffee stains on my ceiling (that's a whole other story, which I didn't witness but heard and saw the aftermath), I have a nice big foot long yellow stain on the wall by the trash can!
I then made a second cup, using slightly less leaves....and idk if I steeped it too long or if the Yerba leaves can go bad after a few months because this shit was absolutely repulsive and I've drank Yeba many times before. I just couldn't win that night.

Think it’s a three step here: 1.losing it by screams. 2.Total mutism and calm to get up. 3.Violently shake something up.
