Yerba Mate

[_Acid_Head_]

Prepraration all depends where you live in south america, different areas have different customs, and that's basically the only differences. I'm going to guess northern brazillians mix it with coca, since that's where it grows, the picture I attached shows an uruguayan drinking mate, since they use hollowed out bull horns (also wide mate fruit), and in argentina they use closed mate fruit or tea bags. Tea bags suck, only gives you one cup of weak tea. I personally prefer a wide mate fruit, it lasts the longest and provides you with the strongest tea. Also, I've never heard of a wooden straw, I've only seen/heard of the metal ones.

How do you drink yours brokend?
