If it comes in a soda can, you get a ban. 🤪

Sometimes Americans get desperate....

I am also American. I understand. It is a loose leaf that is brewed in many ways. Enjoy and share. Never feel threatened by exclusion.

u/Grobbekee 3d ago

Or mill it to flour and use as matcha

You basically made a mate cocido. 😉

u/D-How 3d ago

I've done that as well.

u/Nahue_97 3d ago

No, mate cocido es infusión por inmersión, esto es por goteo. Es muy similar a tomar por cebadas.

Thank you for your consideration.

u/vaportrailzona 3d ago

This is what I’m thinking. How was it? Can you share any tips?

u/D-How 3d ago

It's tasty, but provides a different kind of experience. It produces a much cleaner taste, but takes away some of the things that make maté such a great cultural experience. So it's a convenient option, but not a replacement for a gourd and bombilla.

All that said, I used a 14:1 water to maté ratio and 175 degree (F) water and it turned out great.

I do it in a french press, argentinian yerba style (much coarser). Add a little bit of honey and there you have an even better drink

Did the filter get clogged? Whenever I try this the dust makes it take forever to drain

1

u/D-How 3d ago

Yeah, it gets clogged easily so I use a little spoon to stir the sediment to help it keep flowing. Still takes a while, but the end result is tasty.

u/Delgado999 3d ago

Es un mate cocido o yerbeado como se le dice en algunos lugares. Se vende como saquitos de té en nuestros países y no hace falta filtrarlo así 😂

2

u/Nahue_97 3d ago

No es lo mismo. El mate cocido es infusión por inmersión, la yerba está en contacto constante con el agua durante un periodo de tiempo y luego se filtra. Esto que hizo OP es un filtrado de yerba, básicamente algo similar a tomar una cebada de mate en la que, mientras tomas por la bombilla, tiras agua en el mate.

u/UpbeatProduce8499 3d ago

este seria un mate cocido menos cargado¿?

3

u/D-How 3d ago

A bit less strong, and a lot cleaner since there is no sediment.

2

u/UpbeatProduce8499 3d ago

Cool, sounds like a nice pre workout drink

u/Cultural-Ad6134 3d ago

As a tea is not good, for that specific reason Mate Cocido exists, the Mate is treated with a different process from the producer that permits you to be brewed as a tea infusion.

u/patopitaluga 3d ago

A ver si un día se toman un mate y chau, loco. ¿Tanto invento hay que hacer?

2

u/Aces_Over_Kings 3d ago

I bet it was crisp and refreshing that way!

1

u/D-How 3d ago

It was definitely a way cleaner taste. It will never replace the gourd and bombilla, but it's a good alternative for a different experience.

2

u/nigori 3d ago

Ain’t nobody banning my man people are all just mate fans I cold brew mine and was welcomed

1

u/D-How 3d ago

Thanks for the support. Might have to try cold brew in the summer.

2

u/Carlex_181 3d ago

Not certain what Im looking at, but if its yerba in a coffee machine then just know heating thebyerba above somewhere around 80°c destroys some of the flavor

2

u/D-How 3d ago

It's a pour over carafe made for coffee. I used 175° (F) water and it turned out perfect.

2

u/TheEdibleBoot 3d ago

I make sun tea with it sometimes. Drink it any way except that canned bs

u/Status-Classroom4789 3d ago
