Dlouhý popis - Čaj Mate - Jak připravit - Load more
Classic preparation: Pour about 4 grams (2-3 teaspoons) of mate into a teapot and pour a small amount of cold water to create a "thin porridge". This is so that the high temperature does not destroy the taste and content. Then boil about 250 - 300 ml of water, let it stand at about 80 °C, and pour over the prepared mate and infuse to taste. Strain and you can drink.
Traditional preparation: To do this, you need a calabash (a gourd container) or another container and a bombilla (a straw with a strainer, usually metal). Fill the container about 2/3 full of mate. Then cover the container with your palm, turn it horizontally and shake it gently so that the fine parts of the mate reach the bottom. This increases the chance that the bombilla will not clog. Then put the container back in its original position so that the mate remains at an angle of about 45°. Then put the bombilla in the part where there is no mate. Then pour warm water (around 50°C) over the mate and let it soak completely into the mate. Pour water about 70-80°C warm into the place where the bombilla is, and you can sip through the bombilla. After drinking it all the way to the bottom, you can refill the Yerba with warm water, even several times. After adding water, do not stir the drink. The first infusion is very strong. Then you can just sit back, add water, and enjoy.
