Next we have the favourite drink of famous Argentine, Che Guevara. Yerba mate tea. He's drinking it in the picture below from a traditional gourd shaped infuser.
Sadly we don't have gourd shaped anything in our house so we'll have to drink it from mugs like savages.
Ingredients:
Boiling water
Yerba mate teabags
Whole milk
Honey
This tea is made from a variety of holly tree found in the rainforest and has naturally occuring caffeine in it. Also a plethora of vitamins and antioxidants. Good stuff!
Make the tea as you usually would by pouring boiling water over the tea bags. Cover the mugs and let steep for 4-8 minutes depending on how strong you'd like it.
Squeeze then remove the teabags. Add milk and honey to your taste. I didn't get a picture but the tea was a lovely light green colour before I added milk.
Yerba Mate tea is a very delicate taste. Too mild for me but JD enjoyed it. Maybe next time I'll steep it for longer. It's nice to know while you're drinking it how good it is for you and that maybe it's infusing your body with a Che-like revolutionary spirit.
