Slaiman Fadel Holy shit i thought the pepole who clicked on this video was from Argentina or Uruguay arguing over who has the better Mate..honestly you caught me off guard
I am syrian and i want to thank all Argentines 🇦🇷 for this amazing drink. We drink so much in syria and lebanon every day 3 or 4 times it is so good taste 😍🧉✌
And Uruguay! Argentina and Uruguay both drink it a lot and in Uruguay, people go about their day with a thermos of hot water under their arms. Lately, they're picking up the habit of taking their thermos out to places in Argentina as well.
Been drinking a litres of coffee daily for a few years and a new friend gave me some of this stuff and I think I actually like it better, south america has some amazing plants

Hi, I love watching videos on a custom that is so popular in my country, Argentina (and in other countries too), but the video has errors and is incomplete. 1 - Is Mate, not Maté. 2 - Only containers made from gourd or wood should be cured. If the container is made of metal, porcelain or glass, is not necessary. 3 - The mate is accompanied with sweet things like cookies, cakes, etc.. Not salty things! (with the exception of some types of bizcochitos and croissant and other things made with lard) 4 - It is very common to put additives to the mate. Sugar is used to sweeten. But also other things are used for variety of flavors such as coffee, lemon or orange peel, mint, etc. 5 - Popularly hot water is used on the infusion but there are other alternatives that are used less frequently like hot milk. You can also use citric fruit juices or just cold water (this option is chosen during the summer mostly) and this cold version is called Tereré. 6 - The mate is mostly drink during breakfast in the morning or afternoon snack, but in reality, many people drink this infusion at any time of the day. During work, in college, in parks, etc.
@@henrykszeryng5900 After some time the herbs will "wash". You can tell that is going on because some little white sticks comes to the surface and the flavor will lessen. That is the signal to change the herbs.
Eso puede ser en argentina pero el mate de verdad no lleva cascaritas de ...nada..Mate es mate.yerba,sin azucar y punto pero siempre te podes hacer un video sobre mate argento en evez de venir a romper las p[elotas con sus clasicas pendejadas argentas...

My Argentine grandmother Yeya introduced me to the Mate. She added orange peel and a dash of sugar. We would have the most amazing conversations sharing our mate. My brother just bought me a rig off Amazon. Memories, and making new ones!
@@joaquinserrano9614 just a stereotype. Most Argentines and Uruguay know they they're a Latin American nation and proud of it. We will always be Latin first before European.

Jordan too. I'm Uruguayan and we had a game against Jordan back in 2013 and thus our main tv channel went there to visit to learn about the local culture and apparently many people drink mate there too.
En el norte de Argentina (Misiones) es un poco diferente, se usa yerba mate menos molida, el contenedor (denominado porongo) tiene la boca mas ancha (permitiendo el uso de mas yerba para evitar que se "lave" rapido), se comienza con agua tibia y luego agua a 80º. Un buen mate es espumoso y amargo. In the north of Argentina (Misiones) the "mate" its sightly different, we use less ground yerba mate, the gourd (porongo) has a bigger top (allows the use of more yerba to avoid faster "wash"), it starts with a little of warm water then you use 80ºC water. A good mate is foamy and bitter.
This was very well prepared. I am from Argentina, and I drink this every morning. Also, that song was made by an argentinian tango singer :) I'm glad you made this video, great job!
Nice video, although I have to say I don't shake it and don't fill it to the top either, you're supposed to leave a dry part so after the taste starts to get milder (mate lavado) you can put the bombilla in the newer yerba. We take our mate very seriously in Uruguay and everyone has an opinion on the "right" way to make it. Also nice to see the Uruguayan yerba...
I've actually tried this when I was in Brazil! (We used cold water though since it was hot.) But I loved how we all sat in a circle telling stories, laughing, and passing along the yummy drink. I even bought myself a kit before I came back to America!
Alot of Syrians drink this, including myself. You'll find that the Syrians on the coastal areas are most common matteh drinkers. It's kind of a ritual. We have separate glasses for each person and we add sugar or other herbs according to personal preference. We have matteh with argili/shisha/hookah and salty or sweet snacks. Slight modification to the original way it is consumed :)
I really miss the Thirsty For series. The production, and creativity of the videos and effort to keep things authentic were just as exciting to see, as learning about the actual drinks themselves! Why can't I find the playlist on the channel?? :(
As an Argentinian, i appreciate that other foreign countries are starting to try Mate, but unfortunately the way that you prepared it in the video is incorrect.
@@EA-bd7wp I think the proper way is fill it with 2/3 leaves, cover the top with your hand, and give it a shake on one side, then add water on the empty side, pack the wet mixture against the wall of leaves with the bottom of the straw, and add more water.
jaja soy uruguayo y el mate no es ni uruguayo ni paraguayo ni argentino ni brasileño! es una tradición ancestral de la región que fue pasando de generación en generación y conforme se creaban los países actuales se siguió tomando y se fueron adaptando a la región donde se practica.. la gente se confunde por que unos tomen mas que en otros países o por que tengan diferentes maneras de armarlo o por que este muy arraigado a la cultura social

i bought some at whole foods, just the loose yerba mate itself, they didnt have a gourd or straw. i just used a regular tea strainer. i liked it alot, much cheaper than green tea too. i also tried some "rooibos" the same way. they were both awesome.
no entiendo el enojo,esto es un dato objetivo, hasta lo dicen portales argentinos: www.fansdelmate.com/informacion-general/que-paises-son-productores-de-yerba-mate.html . En primer lugar el consumo de yerba mate es ancestral de la región, no es patrimonio de un país u otro, se toma mate en la región de Río Grande do Sul, Paraná y Santa Catalina (Brasil), Argentina, sur de Chile y Paraguay, hasta en Siria toman mate como acá. Cuánta patriotismo pelotudo hay que bancarse... en fin... ahora si, el candombe que musicaliza este video, si bien lo canta y versiona un argentino, el ritmo es 100 % uruguayo de Montevideo, barrio Sur y Palermo.
Mauricio Vázquez me importa una mierda los datos que vale aclarar que el art dice que cierto pais es UNO de los que mas consume .. y no se a que viene el comentario mencionando los demas paises cuando nadie los trajo al tema solo digo que en Argentina el mate mas que una tradicion es un rito no hay horario ni dia que no se tome. aparte de que aca se produce la yerma.
I've lived in Argentina over 10 years the Mate culture is absolutely unique people have it for breakfast nothing but Mate other people have it all day long, you will find it in government offices and the most humble of people living in the street to multi millionaires. Sports athletes such as Lucas Matthysse is seen drinking it before his fights, and you can't have a gathering of friends either 2 or 2 dozen with out having Mate and absolutely bonding drink that is absolutely espectacular. Blessing to the South American brothers and sisters hope they never loose this amazing tradition
I'm from Paraguay, and this is, like, the national drink there. The last time I drank it, I didn't like it. Of course, that was over 15 years ago, so maybe I should try it again XD
Algunas recomendaciones para su infusión, ya que en el video no se respeta... Primero, no dejes que hierva tanto el agua, eso hará que el mate se lave mas rapido y te quedara un mate con sabor a agua caliente sin sabor a la yerba... segundo, cuando agites el mate como los has hecho en el vídeo, hacelo con la boca del mate hacia abajo, tapando la boca por supuesto, asi los palos quedaran en el fondo y evitaras que se te tape la bombilla.. tercero, cuando cebes el mate, osea cuando introduzcas el agua en el mate, hacelo siempre despacio, y del lado de la bombilla, que caiga el agua despacio por ella y sin llegar a rebalsar el mate como se ve...Saludos!
Oh my, this is so funny! I'm Argentinian! And the drink is called just MATE. You can add other herbs like mint, or burro. It also goes well served with honey instead of sugar! Is a good drink to enjoy with friends in class or while studying, it keeps you awake!
As a messi fan no this is not his secret. his secret is the growth hormone they gave him (steroids) when he was little to help him grow because he was too short and small. But regardless messi is still the goat because of his football iq and reading of the game which steroids doesnt give you
I just recently met someone from Argentina who was drinking Mate out of the gourd. She told me all about it and how it's prepared. I'm going to buy one today.
I'm so happy you tackled Mate! Beyond this simple recipe there is so much cultural significance behind this drink in Argentina. Not to mention its delicious! :D
@Iubire Romaneasca just mate and water in my household. Sometime we brew it with rosemary to add a little touch. In some homes they add milk and sugar but the standard is just mate and water.
I'm from Argentina and here you drink mate everyday with anything that you imagine, I know a lot of people who love to drink mate and eat pizza, sandwich and other stuff (sweet or salty), for example right now I'm drinking mate and eating an apple. And in summer time we usually drink terere, made with cold water or cold fruit juice, it's very refreshing and people who never drink mate before like it better
My everyday drink hands down. BTW After you put cold and hot water in the yerba mate you do not put the bombilla yet as the yerba has to swollen with water. After that (5 minutes or so) you put the bombilla and start drinking.
I traveled to Cordoba, Argentina and went south to Patagonia for 11 days mainly to attend my cousin's wedding. I had my first gourd of Mate 3 hours after landing in Buenos Aires, it was strong and earthy. I didn't like it very much. But then I had another later in the day while chatting to family outside. I drank 6 or 7 mates in a about 4 hours. I was hooked. Now I drink Mate and Green tea Matcha here in the USA instead of Coffee now.
I jumped for joy on what you guys are making in the next video. I LOVE HORCHATA!!! I am from the east coat so I didnt get expose to the yummy goodness untill I met my husband and moved to El Paso with him. Ever since I had my fist horchata I was in love! There is a coffee shop over there who makes a slushie version and I just love it! I can't wait!
+Nana Syrian Oh I heard that in Syria you drink mate a lot but why?, do you have Yerba in your country or something like that? I mean... what's the story behind that?,
Maher Darwish Ohohoh and what brands do you have there? :P I'm addicted to "La Merced - Barbacua" it's like a smoked Yerba, is the best for bitter Mate.
Argentina is a vert interesting country. It's a combination of different cultures and countries. You can enjoy of a MATE while listening to a TANGO (typical music) or make a cake with dulce de leche (a delicious sweet thing). A very nice video, mate is a strange and special drink!
For those looking for the song played in the video its called "Candombeando" by Alberto Castillo! Like please so people can see this who are looking for it!
Here in southern Brazil we traditionally drink it too, but here it is called "chimarrão". I put the "bomba" or "bombilla" (in spanish) after putting water... Make things easier, i suppose. I normally add water, wait a little, so herb can absorb it, then i put the "bomba" or "bombilla", with the hole covered with my thumb (do it or the bombilla may clog, it will until you get some practice, i dont know why it happens).
Mennonites(it's a cultural/religious population), in Canada, also drink yerba mate, but they drink it from a horn instead of a gourd. They "discovered" it when they went to South America in their attempt to settle there and work the land - but many returned to North America when they couldn't acclimate their crops to the climate and ended up bringing this beverage with them. So you can find it in some of the larger cities with a large Mennonite population or in stores that they run.
Qué boludos que somos... En vez de darnos cuenta que el mate nos une como países y nos transforma en "casi" una nación distribuída en dos países distintos, nos peleamos por quién hace el mejor mate o quién toma más. El mate es símbolo de unión, no de conflicto entre hermanos. Difícilmente haya dos países que compartan tanta cultura. Obviamente que también cada uno tiene sus particularidades, como la Provincia de Jujuy tiene sus particularidades culturales con respecto a la Provincia de Tierra del Fuego. Pero eso no quita todo lo que compartimos. Uruguay, Argentina, y toda Sudamérica unida. Acuérdense de que cuando nos va bien, nos va bien a todos, y cuando nos va mal, andamos todos pa'l culo. Cuando el Norte metió mano nos llenó de dictaduras que colaboraban para perseguir, torturar y asesinar a nuestros pueblos. No seamos boludos.
Paraguayan, Uruguayan and Argentinian are the ones who drink mate the most. Hope one day you visit the most beautiful and strange country in the center of Latin America. 🇵🇾
Need to clarify about the temperature of the water - if you are to drink it @ 150° then DON'T heat the water to boiling (212°); you can heat the water to 180° but not much above that. Boiling water makes the esophagus vulnerable to damage, which could lead to cancer.
Also it ruins the flavour. Under no circumstance should the water be boiling. I dont know in fahrenheit, but in celsius its between 70° to 80°. Edit: also, its not necessary to pour a bit of cold water, some people do it, some others dont.
We used to put a couple teaspoons of sugar at the bottom, before adding the yerba mate. And if you're on a hot summer day, you can prepare some cold orange or citrus juice, and add this to the mate instead of hot water, and voilà, you have TERERÉ
1:22 -- I'm sorry, but this is scientifically inaccurate. Shaking anything will bring larger particles to the top. It's called Granular convection, look it up!
True, normally you would cover the gourd opening and tilt it upside down before shaking. Then after a few shakes to it's side to place the straw and so on and so forth. At least, this is how I have seen and have been preparing it.
We have something similar in Vietnam. We use condense milk and ice instead. No chocolate. If we don't have condense milk then vanilla Ice cream work just as well. It's so yummy
Era una bebida de los guaranies ellos no tenian nacion, estaban tanto en Paraguay como brasil o Argentina... Es como decir que los Turcos digan que los inventos de los bizantinos fueron hechos en turquia... o algo asi...
Great video. I must say a few things though. Mate is not written with an ortographic accent on the "e". To prepare Mate it is very important that water DOES NOT come out to a boil; instead, you want to remove the water from the heat just a minute before it'd start boiling. I know that's explained at the ending but in the beggining it says "bring a kettle to a boil" but once the water boiled, it is useless. Doesn't matter if it cools down afterwards. Love from Argentina and keep on drinking mate.
Theres a cold version which you just use cold water with it (Terere), and also a cooked version which you caramelise sugar and then cook the yerba mate with the sugar for a bit add water and bring to a boil and then turn the stove off, that's called Cocido
Eso es cualquier cosa, así no se prepara un mate. Se deja hinchar la yerba con agua tibia y recién después se pone la bombilla, pero va del otro lado!! Buen intento pero así es intomable.
philly till Agua tibia? jajaja Nada que ver, no conozco a nadie que use agua tibia. Lo que sí hacen algunas personas es echarle un chorrito de agua fría, para que la yerba no se "queme", y no pierda el gusto. Pero la realidad es que si calentaste el agua a la temperatura adecuada, o sea que no esté hirviendo ni super caliente, no precisás ponerle agua fría, con el agua caliente se hincha y no se "quema". La yerba se "quema" cuando se usa agua demasiado caliente, pero así también te quemás la mucosa y al tiempo te viene cáncer de esófago, así que mejor tomar el mate con agua no muy caliente. Además es más rico con agua normalita que con agua casi hirviendo.
great...but NEVER boil the water...you can use honey to sweeten it and best if at the beginning...when ypu shake upside down, wet ypur palm to get all the powder out (rinse your hand when it all sticks to it). Cold water always not to 'quemar'(burn) the yerba. If you are drinking and don't want to do it anymore, just say 'Gracias' to the person passing it on, they will understand you dont want any. Salud!
Vos sos argentina? Si vivieras acá sabrías que el mate lo hacemos medio para el orto, y que casi nadie respeta esas reglas. Y si no vivís acá, no vengas a hacerte la vendepatria alcahuete!
Champurrado, Ponche navideño and next week Horchata? Definitely in Mexico there's a lot of tradicional drinks :) Try de Torito, Cebadina, Café de olla, Atole, Pozol, Rompope or Tepache. Those are classics even we don't drink them often.
the reason why it has an apostrophe is cause thats how an english speaker would pronounce it (mate') if you put mate they will pronounce it diff. mate=dude ,guy etc.
Lerian Acosenossa 'cause the sound of the "e" in spanish is more like an "a" in english, but the original word is "mate", the pronunciation would be probably near to "mat-a".
Cuanto orgullo uruguayo, ya que te jactás tanto de tu rica yerba nos podrías mostrar alguna de sus plantacion--AAAHH no cierto que ustedes importan toda su yerba porque no tienen plantaciones siquiera
I'm always all kinds of excited to see these videos pop up in my feed. I adore the way you present each step and tool in the process, and it always makes me a little bit happier to learn something about preparing something delicious. So, thank you.

I'm from Paraguay, and this is, like, the national drink there. The last time I drank it, I didn't like it. Of course, that was over 15 years ago, so maybe I should try it again XD
Make sure you dont use boiling water. Maybe it was too bitter last time you tried it. If you stay 160-180 F it will give a warm almost caramel flavor.
ohMYGOD Y'all brought the thirsty for series again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to marathon!!
Algunas recomendaciones para su infusión, ya que en el video no se respeta... Primero, no dejes que hierva tanto el agua, eso hará que el mate se lave mas rapido y te quedara un mate con sabor a agua caliente sin sabor a la yerba... segundo, cuando agites el mate como los has hecho en el vídeo, hacelo con la boca del mate hacia abajo, tapando la boca por supuesto, asi los palos quedaran en el fondo y evitaras que se te tape la bombilla.. tercero, cuando cebes el mate, osea cuando introduzcas el agua en el mate, hacelo siempre despacio, y del lado de la bombilla, que caiga el agua despacio por ella y sin llegar a rebalsar el mate como se ve...Saludos!
Esteban Ariel 👏👏👏👏
naaah, qué experto cebador de mates. VAMO CAPO!
Literal dicen que tienes que echar agua caliente no hirviendo
Oh my, this is so funny! I'm Argentinian! And the drink is called just MATE. You can add other herbs like mint, or burro. It also goes well served with honey instead of sugar! Is a good drink to enjoy with friends in class or while studying, it keeps you awake!
So this is Messi's secret
😂
😂
As a messi fan no this is not his secret. his secret is the growth hormone they gave him (steroids) when he was little to help him grow because he was too short and small. But regardless messi is still the goat because of his football iq and reading of the game which steroids doesnt give you
@@gunshotNrun As an earth fan, nobody asked your opinion on this and nobody asked you who is the goat
@@gunshotNrun i Think being Athletically gifted and being smart at your sport are different.
I just recently met someone from Argentina who was drinking Mate out of the gourd. She told me all about it and how it's prepared. I'm going to buy one today.
I was given a Yerba Mate kit by a family friend and I love it - turns out I’ve been making it totally wrong though! Thanks for the great video!👏
haha😆😅
OMG You released these again! Thank you so much! This is my favorite series of everything you have ever done!!!!
I'm also super happy, just found out too!
I live in Lebanon and this drink can be found in almost every house here! I'm not a big fan of it (prefer green tea) but its good :D
I'm so happy you tackled Mate! Beyond this simple recipe there is so much cultural significance behind this drink in Argentina. Not to mention its delicious! :D
This is how we drink mate in Lebanon too!
Yep!
@Iubire Romaneasca just mate and water in my household. Sometime we brew it with rosemary to add a little touch. In some homes they add milk and sugar but the standard is just mate and water.
I'm from Argentina and here you drink mate everyday with anything that you imagine, I know a lot of people who love to drink mate and eat pizza, sandwich and other stuff (sweet or salty), for example right now I'm drinking mate and eating an apple. And in summer time we usually drink terere, made with cold water or cold fruit juice, it's very refreshing and people who never drink mate before like it better
not good to drink it in the afternoon though
I from Syria and I drink Mate ❤
lenguaje experto Only Syrian Arabs
@@555here4 and some Lebanese as well
lenguaje experto Syria is the largest importer of Maté. People in Lebanon drink it as well
صب متي لقلك
Lenguaje its very famous in Lebanon and Syria and to some degree in Palestine as well
My everyday drink hands down.
BTW After you put cold and hot water in the yerba mate you do not put the bombilla yet as the yerba has to swollen with water. After that (5 minutes or so) you put the bombilla and start drinking.
From syria. Mate the best drink
I traveled to Cordoba, Argentina and went south to Patagonia for 11 days mainly to attend my cousin's wedding. I had my first gourd of Mate 3 hours after landing in Buenos Aires, it was strong and earthy. I didn't like it very much. But then I had another later in the day while chatting to family outside. I drank 6 or 7 mates in a about 4 hours. I was hooked. Now I drink Mate and Green tea Matcha here in the USA instead of Coffee now.
Suarez and Messi brought me here🤣
Yess 😂
Ugh ive looking for these videos for sooo long the were my weekly comfort 9 years ago!!
It taste better when you add lime or lemon as well
I jumped for joy on what you guys are making in the next video. I LOVE HORCHATA!!! I am from the east coat so I didnt get expose to the yummy goodness untill I met my husband and moved to El Paso with him. Ever since I had my fist horchata I was in love! There is a coffee shop over there who makes a slushie version and I just love it! I can't wait!
yes thats right here in syria we drink mate alot with dates
+Nana Syrian Oh I heard that in Syria you drink mate a lot but why?, do you have Yerba in your country or something like that? I mean... what's the story behind that?,
+Agustin Repetto no, but we import from Argentina 😀
Maher Darwish
Ohohoh and what brands do you have there? :P I'm addicted to "La Merced - Barbacua" it's like a smoked Yerba, is the best for bitter Mate.
i dont know but the one that i use is (YERBA MATE ELABORADA) its from the paraguay i think but we have more like from argantina
the mate is very popular here in syria,palestine and lebanon :)
Argentina is a vert interesting country. It's a combination of different cultures and countries. You can enjoy of a MATE while listening to a TANGO (typical music) or make a cake with dulce de leche (a delicious sweet thing). A very nice video, mate is a strange and special drink!
feeling this music so much.
Do you know the name of the song? I really like it
i am syrian and in my country matte is so popular
I learned about matte from a Syrian friend in Lebanon. That was seven years ago. I still visit him and we'd drink matte and smoke hookah.
Matte is lack of shine. It's called mate.
بتقرقع متي
I'll probably never try these recipes because the ingredients are often hard to find but I really enjoy just watching for the editing and fab music
Scorpion love this video.
in Paraguay we drink it cold, with ice, and natural remedies, weeds or roots. Some crushed lemon placed in the jar with ice.
why other videos of "thirsty for" now are "private"?
For those looking for the song played in the video its called "Candombeando" by Alberto Castillo! Like please so people can see this who are looking for it!
I could seriously just put this play list on just for the music
drwierd lmao
What's the song name?? I also love the song
Here in southern Brazil we traditionally drink it too, but here it is called "chimarrão". I put the "bomba" or "bombilla" (in spanish) after putting water... Make things easier, i suppose. I normally add water, wait a little, so herb can absorb it, then i put the "bomba" or "bombilla", with the hole covered with my thumb (do it or the bombilla may clog, it will until you get some practice, i dont know why it happens).
bro benji krol was sipping this through the first minutes of his latest video, i didnt know wtf this was :/ interesting video!
Bro that’s literally exactly why I’m here 😭
@@kaniyahampton bruhhh 😭 we uncultured like that
Mennonites(it's a cultural/religious population), in Canada, also drink yerba mate, but they drink it from a horn instead of a gourd.
They "discovered" it when they went to South America in their attempt to settle there and work the land - but many returned to North America when they couldn't acclimate their crops to the climate and ended up bringing this beverage with them.
So you can find it in some of the larger cities with a large Mennonite population or in stores that they run.
Lucas Torreira ?
Indeed. That's what he drinks alright.
Luis Suárez
Messi
Paul Pogba
In Brazil, this is called "Chimarrão"!
Nice work guys!
Qué boludos que somos... En vez de darnos cuenta que el mate nos une como países y nos transforma en "casi" una nación distribuída en dos países distintos, nos peleamos por quién hace el mejor mate o quién toma más. El mate es símbolo de unión, no de conflicto entre hermanos. Difícilmente haya dos países que compartan tanta cultura. Obviamente que también cada uno tiene sus particularidades, como la Provincia de Jujuy tiene sus particularidades culturales con respecto a la Provincia de Tierra del Fuego. Pero eso no quita todo lo que compartimos. Uruguay, Argentina, y toda Sudamérica unida. Acuérdense de que cuando nos va bien, nos va bien a todos, y cuando nos va mal, andamos todos pa'l culo. Cuando el Norte metió mano nos llenó de dictaduras que colaboraban para perseguir, torturar y asesinar a nuestros pueblos. No seamos boludos.
El peluca sabeeeeee
de Paraguay tb es man
From here, ask for the best Argentinean type

Eric De Titta tenes razón!
Hermanos 💚
Paraguayan, Uruguayan and Argentinian are the ones who drink mate the most. Hope one day you visit the most beautiful and strange country in the center of Latin America. 🇵🇾
Todo muy lindo pero nadie se dio cuenta que al final toman mate con salame y queso? WTF? alta cagadera ajaja
Diego98 el mejor desayuno, mate con chorizo seco y soque
Jajajjjajajjajajja no solamente eso, le puso tanta agua q estaba haciendo sopa, no mateee
No sabes nada loco, tomate unos mates con unas tostaditas con un poco de aceite de oliva y jamón crudo arriba...
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA me mori bldo
Este es porteño seguro...
There is actually a type of soda here in Berlin (Germany) called Club Mate made from that plant - it is incredible!
Need to clarify about the temperature of the water - if you are to drink it @ 150° then DON'T heat the water to boiling (212°); you can heat the water to 180° but not much above that. Boiling water makes the esophagus vulnerable to damage, which could lead to cancer.
Also it ruins the flavour. Under no circumstance should the water be boiling. I dont know in fahrenheit, but in celsius its between 70° to 80°.
Edit: also, its not necessary to pour a bit of cold water, some people do it, some others dont.
El mate 100% Paraguayo, nos gusta que disfruten de nuestras costumbres. Un Saludo a todos los amantes del mate y el tereré.
Made in Argentina
Con yerba manufacturada en uruguay, que loco no?
Eshekiel9203 gardel es uruguayo y el dulce de leche también, no?
Con yerba de Misiones, Argentina.
Made in Argentina, and consumed heavily in Syria lol
Uruguay*
We used to put a couple teaspoons of sugar at the bottom, before adding the yerba mate. And if you're on a hot summer day, you can prepare some cold orange or citrus juice, and add this to the mate instead of hot water, and voilà, you have TERERÉ
1:22 -- I'm sorry, but this is scientifically inaccurate. Shaking anything will bring larger particles to the top. It's called Granular convection, look it up!
True, normally you would cover the gourd opening and tilt it upside down before shaking. Then after a few shakes to it's side to place the straw and so on and so forth. At least, this is how I have seen and have been preparing it.
It's not only scientifically inaccurate , it's common sense...
tell thast to Martin Fierro!
Anyway oi usually turn the gourd on a side gently covering whith one hand and dont shaking
Thats why you want to shake it upside down, then you flip it gently and remove the powder
mate with popcorn is one of the best combinations of all time!
El titulo debería ser "Cómo NO hacer un mate"
I feel so connected to world and earth when I drink it 🙂
where can I get a "Bombilla" ??? I live in Los Angeles, there's got to be a small argentinean community there. LOL
maybe in Miami hahaa
+Daniel Schaper look for it, u'll find one, i'm shure :p
Rincon Argentino in Glendale
Amazon for everything u don’t find locally!
catalinas market near LACC
If you're in the UK, you should try Native Leaf Original Yerba Mate. It is by far the best Yerba Mate I've had.
mate* yerba mate* not maté, and the name of the drink is mate, pronounced "máte".
We have something similar in Vietnam. We use condense milk and ice instead. No chocolate. If we don't have condense milk then vanilla Ice cream work just as well. It's so yummy
Anyone watching and thinking about Covid?
Omg!!! My neighbors are syrian and this is exactly how we drink mate. Infact we use the same straw. Its awesome you guys try it out
MADE IN PARAGUAY 🔴⚪🔵
Era una bebida de los guaranies ellos no tenian nacion, estaban tanto en Paraguay como brasil o Argentina... Es como decir que los Turcos digan que los inventos de los bizantinos fueron hechos en turquia... o algo asi...
Anyone else here from Mozart in the Jungle?
nope, the only one
Hahaha yeess
Great video. I must say a few things though. Mate is not written with an ortographic accent on the "e". To prepare Mate it is very important that water DOES NOT come out to a boil; instead, you want to remove the water from the heat just a minute before it'd start boiling. I know that's explained at the ending but in the beggining it says "bring a kettle to a boil" but once the water boiled, it is useless. Doesn't matter if it cools down afterwards. Love from Argentina and keep on drinking mate.
what? MatÉ ???? is MATE
never boil the water please. The water must be from158 to 176 fahrenheit (70-80 celsius)
Have a good drink (?
Theres a cold version which you just use cold water with it (Terere), and also a cooked version which you caramelise sugar and then cook the yerba mate with the sugar for a bit add water and bring to a boil and then turn the stove off, that's called Cocido
En el primer mate ya tira la montañita xD
Eso es cualquier cosa, así no se prepara un mate.
Se deja hinchar la yerba con agua tibia y recién después se pone la bombilla, pero va del otro lado!!
Buen intento pero así es intomable.
philly till Agua tibia? jajaja Nada que ver, no conozco a nadie que use agua tibia. Lo que sí hacen algunas personas es echarle un chorrito de agua fría, para que la yerba no se "queme", y no pierda el gusto. Pero la realidad es que si calentaste el agua a la temperatura adecuada, o sea que no esté hirviendo ni super caliente, no precisás ponerle agua fría, con el agua caliente se hincha y no se "quema". La yerba se "quema" cuando se usa agua demasiado caliente, pero así también te quemás la mucosa y al tiempo te viene cáncer de esófago, así que mejor tomar el mate con agua no muy caliente. Además es más rico con agua normalita que con agua casi hirviendo.
***** El agua tibia es para que hinche más rápido. Probá y me contás.
***** philly till Yo tambien uso el metodo de hinchar el mate con agua tibia, de ñiño me enseñaron asi
True. Although I always boil the water and just add some cold water to it on the thermos or kettle before using it.
It hurts my argentinean heart in so many ways to see this video because they did just about everything really really wrong
Can you link a video where it’s done properly?
great...but NEVER boil the water...you can use honey to sweeten it and best if at the beginning...when ypu shake upside down, wet ypur palm to get all the powder out (rinse your hand when it all sticks to it). Cold water always not to 'quemar'(burn) the yerba. If you are drinking and don't want to do it anymore, just say 'Gracias' to the person passing it on, they will understand you dont want any. Salud!
Powder doesn't make it stronger?
Some of this is inaccurate...
Justina Gentili 99% of this is not accurate...
Vos sos argentina? Si vivieras acá sabrías que el mate lo hacemos medio para el orto, y que casi nadie respeta esas reglas. Y si no vivís acá, no vengas a hacerte la vendepatria alcahuete!
Champurrado, Ponche navideño and next week Horchata? Definitely in Mexico there's a lot of tradicional drinks :) Try de Torito, Cebadina, Café de olla, Atole, Pozol, Rompope or Tepache. Those are classics even we don't drink them often.
Bájale la crema a tus tacos, aquí es una bebida sudamericana. El mexicano siempre presumiendo
It's not maté! it's mate! and the water has not to boil!
the reason why it has an apostrophe is cause thats how an english speaker would pronounce it (mate') if you put mate they will pronounce it diff. mate=dude ,guy etc.
kayley glaze well then it could be "máte" :)
i wonder why not "matea" instead, in spanish it confuses with the words to kill and opaque so...
Lerian Acosenossa 'cause the sound of the "e" in spanish is more like an "a" in english, but the original word is "mate", the pronunciation would be probably near to "mat-a".
TheHoneyMay No... It isn't pronounced mata. It's like Ma - Te. Think of the words 'Te amo'. The 'te' is how mate sounds at the end.
So Happy Thirsty For is back. I thought they'd quit....
messi !!
Great video, not only good information about how to drink yerba mate, but also nicely made :)
Lleno de uruguayos que creen saber tomar mate.
Preguntale a un Argentino.
Dale anda a tomar palos jajajaja
no saltes donde no hay charco, que cada uno lo haga como quiera
Cuanto orgullo uruguayo, ya que te jactás tanto de tu rica yerba nos podrías mostrar alguna de sus plantacion--AAAHH no cierto que ustedes importan toda su yerba porque no tienen plantaciones siquiera
Mirà , los urugayos se creeen que se la inventaron todaa ..
Son ellos que se separaron de Argentinaaa :')
jaajaja creo el unico que le chupa un huevo..Argentino o Uruguayo, pueden cerrar el ojete y tomemos unos mates jajajajaja
I was just drinking my mate when this appeared in my suscription box ♥
Too much water, bombilla touches border and it's backwards. 2/10 would not drink.
I'm always all kinds of excited to see these videos pop up in my feed. I adore the way you present each step and tool in the process, and it always makes me a little bit happier to learn something about preparing something delicious. So, thank you.
