Perfect for everyday use or as a unique gift! Steps to Cure the Mate Initial Cleaning: Rinse the inside of the mate with warm water to remove any dust or wood residue. Avoid using soap or detergent, as they may leave unwanted flavors. Fill with Yerba Mate: Fill the mate to the brim with used yerba mate (new yerba mate works if you don’t have used). This helps the natural oils in the yerba seal the wood pores. Add Warm Water: Pour warm water (not boiling, as it can damage the wood) until all the yerba is covered. Let it sit for 24 hours. Scraping (Optional): After 24 hours, remove the yerba and gently scrape the inside of the mate with a spoon or a dull knife. This helps remove small wood splinters or residues that may affect the taste. Repeat the Process: Repeat the process of filling with yerba and warm water for at least 3 consecutive days, replacing the yerba every 24 hours. This step ensures optimal curing. Care After Curing Once cured, rinse the mate with water only after each use and dry it thoroughly. Avoid leaving it wet for extended periods, as the wood may become damaged or moldy. Never use soap or put it in the dishwasher. By following these steps, your Algarrobo wood mate will be ready to provide a traditional and flavorful experience. Enjoy your mate! ☕🌿
