Uruguayan-style mate
- Fill the gourd (the "porongo") with PU-1 yerba mate almost to the rim, leaving a slanted mound.
- Moisten the low part with warm water and wait for it to absorb.
- Slide the bombilla into the damp spot and steady it carefully.
- Pour a little water at a time, between 70 and 75 °C, always in the same place.
- As the yerba mate beside the bombilla washes out, keep "pulling" dry yerba mate down from the mound to renew the flavor.
Water: 70 to 75 °C
