Guest guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 I've been buying the bottled yerba mate drink from Guayaki and enjoy it. Yesterday I was an " ethnic " market and bought a bag of the leaves (or bark, or whatever it is) from South America. Anyone have a method for preparing it that doesn't involve those little metal straws and gourds? I just did it like regular loose leaf tea and its fine so far. I'm hoping for a nice buzz. News at 11.
