Never thought I would quit coffee, ever since I started drinking Yerba mate 🧉 I have been feeling my best all day with sustained energy and better focus 🧘🏼♀️ I also drank it as a pre workout drink and I performed wayyyyy better than any other drink in comparison to pre work out powders.
I too quit coffee cold turkey. I went from drinking 1-2 cups DAILY for over 2 years to drinking 1-2 liters of Mate. I didn’t even realize I didn’t want coffee. I just craved the Mate over the coffee and bam!
Yeah, I quit coffee and beer for yerba mate. Don't miss either and I feel 100% better every day. My beer belly melted in a week, and I feel like I'm working at 100%
You can brew it overnight in the French press too, don't need a big jar and a strainer and a pot. Just leave the French press out overnight, rather than in the fridge. You can pour it over ice cubes after, or chill it in the fridge, but this way you only need the French press. Brewing it outside the fridge also takes much less time.
Love at 12:00 when he says you can drink it right away, or let it brew for 20 minutes-then immediately grabs glass lol. 100 degrees out, I would too :)
A juice bag / nut milk bag works well for cold brew as well - pretty much a giant reusable tea bag, works better for Argentina cuts cuz the more dusty ones falls through the strainer more easily
I wonder if that Japanese method works with this, putting the mate over some ice, and letting the ice slowly melt in the fridge overnight, and then straining/drinking it the next day - that's amazing with Japanese and Chinese teas, I bet this would be pretty good with mate
This is all i mess with so far. Other than chimmaro.Cant ask for much more out of a cold drink. Plan on drinking hot when it gets cold. Gonna try the sangria sample tomorrow.
Love your videos!! Thank you for the great content!! I’m going to start making cold brew during this hot summer 🌿😎🔥 this has helped me tremendously on how to properly prepare it.
I heard of yerba mate and its benefits and I have been on the search for the best way for me to brew it. Many of the videos involved using a gourd which doesn't work for me because I will be in the Uni library for the better part of my day. I was looking for a way to brew the yerba tea in a way I can transfer to a container and the press thing really works. Cold brew, on the other hand, seems like bit too much work given my time constraint. Anyway, thanks for this. One additional question. How many times can i re-use the leaves when I am using the press?
IMdrkil Dude, there's a thing people call MATE MÁGICO, which is a thermos + the gourd all in one container. Really handy if you're a student or if you work in an office.
The main draw of cold brewing is that it doesn't release the tannins so it doesn't get bitter. If you brew it with hot water at all, it releases the tannins and defeats the point.
Just make it hot then let it cool and add some ice. This way you will get all the benefits plus the cooling effect. It doesn't need a lot of intelligence. 🤦🏻♂️
Hot will make it bitter. You have no clue about brewing. As for the length of the video, you have the ability to skip. It’s a TH-cam feature since the beginning.
Thank for the reminder ! I forgot I could make this as a cold brew !🤘🏼💜
AsTheMoonAscends My pleasure. I hope you enjoy some cold Mate soon :)

Starts at 5:56 if you want to skip the unrelated materials and go straight to the brewing methods
Thanks!

Yes, as a terere my family will put fresh mint, squeezed lemon, and a bit of simple syrup or honey with ice for the mate.

The reflection at 12:10 XD

Amazing, I bought one for cold brew coffee and I was just about to ask if I could use it for this too.

"It doesn't really matter. Just throw everything in."
That's the spirit.
I like it!

12:09 Just chilling in your boxers. 😆
great vdieo! after the 24hr process i usually strain it using my french press.
Best way to have it is with cold coconut juice from an actual coconut and coconut pieces. Mmmm
I got some yerba mate and it looks and taste like green tea, does that sound right?
Nice videos.. I drink mate now 2months and leave coffee off.. This is ❤
Love your videos!! Thank you for the great content!! I’m going to start making cold brew during this hot summer 🌿😎🔥 this has helped me tremendously on how to properly prepare it.
So glad to hear! :)
Good stuff, Dave! Inspired me to make some now, all the best!
Always a pleasure!
Yum! Looks so good!
Out of interest, do you drink alcohol as well??
I want to replace my wine drinking but haven’t committed to Mate only yet! 😀🇦🇺👊
Doesnt it have bacteria or funghi? Those methods arent using boiled water to sterilize the herb right.. thx a lot for the videos
You never use boiling water anyways
Do you still get the nice caffeine rush with the cold brew method ?
For sure. Brew it hot first for an extra kick.

IMdrkil Thanks watching. You can re-use the leave at least 2 times, max 3.

Jurgen Solstheim thanks for the suggestion. I will look into it. Sometimes It's hard for the outsiders to know what's available .
What about brewing it in a little hot water, before adding ice and cold water? I would emagine it would get better extraction.
That’s what I thought too but ain’t an expert myself

I feel like I’m watching a crook from the looney tunes teach me how to make yerba mate. Just keep it simple
lol guy is in his underwear making video
Hahah...shh... don't tell anyone - it's my secret cape to unleash the inner mate god :)
...YES - HE LOOKS SO - #COMFORTABLE... - MAKING HIS TEA - AND - VIDEO
Awesome video Dave ..salud!
what about hot brew can I just cool it down
Jesus man, six minutes until you tell us about how to cold brew.
Dude. Fuck! If it's bigger than a normal teaspoon, then it's NOT A TEASPOON.
Jah! Rastafariiiiiiiii
Could you hot brew it then chill afterwards to extract more from the leaves???
Definitely
Use less water then when it's cold dilute with carbonated water. Yum.
Aquafina is just Atlanta tap water....
I just have a bag of yerba maté...
What's the name of the berries?
Conoces ya el gran himno al terere? @r-f4

How dare you unveil the secrets of mate!!! How dare youuuuuu!!!
And definitely doesn’t take a freaking 20 mins video ffs
