"MATE" is called tea by mistake, because it is made of large, leathery, gear leaves of an evergreen high tree Yerba Mate. They are gathered three times a year by cutting off the young branches and tying them together in brooms, which are then dried on fire.
After drying leaves are grinded and roasted again on a small fire until they become gold yellow and get a special delicate aroma.
You can drink it at any time of a day. Its energizing effect can be best felt in the morning during breakfast, or when you take Mate with milk instead of breakfast. This recipe can completely replace breakfast as it contains all the necessary substances for a human organism. Indians believed, that Mate possesses a magic power.
