RE: Knowing...Mate/'Tea Maniacs' DIARY 1
So glad I found this post. Bought myself some mate while on a trip, but I don't know much about it (I knew the name from books or movies, perhaps!). I only tried it once and it was pretty strong, especially after a big cup of coffee - not such a good idea! I'll try it with honey!
There you go! I am so glad someone is 'helped' in any way about this. Well...if you drink it from that 'tarditional' mug, you put a lot of it in, very very warm aaaalmost hot water and sip it very slowly through a traditional silver or silver coated straw, then you don't 'inhale' any of the tiny leave peaces and I guess your body 'takes' the tea better that way. I drink it 'raw' too, but from a huge mug and I wait for some of it to fall to the bottom..I HAVE to buy the straw thing...so much easier....
