How do I make Mate tea in a calabash?
Fill your calabash halfway with Mate leaves, use less if you prefer it milder, and more if you want stronger tea. Pour a little cold water over the leaves. Then add hot water (70 to max 90 degrees). Never use boiling water. Insert the bombilla and let it stand for a moment, then simply enjoy. When the water is finished, you can refill it, over and over again. The flavor decreases with each refill, but you can keep refilling many times as long as you find it tasty.
Never stir with the bombilla, just let it be, otherwise its filtering effect will be destroyed.
Material: The calabash is made of stainless steel that retains heat without burning your fingers. The special straw called bombilla has a filter and is made of stainless steel. Its spoon shape allows it to create a cavity in the hydrated herbs to draw up the infusion.
