Are you a mate drinker?
Well, if you do, it could be nice to listen to your personal recipes
or style. Particularly, after some time of drinking mate, I had it today
with milk for the first time, since a friend from Uruguay recommended
it and... wow! not bad! 😀

Are you kidding? Mämmi was one of the 1st things I tried. You name
it, I've done it (here I mean)... I liked it, funnily, but my favorite one
remains a weird concoction not even many locals like: kaalipirakkas
covered with lingonberry bitter sauce 😵
Edit. Some "friends" did it thinking they were going to have a good
laugh with me, and it ended being a delicious experience for me, lol

tasted mild and... well... 'watery', but I felt there was something there,
so I threw the used yerba, washed the calabaza (pot?) very well,
and poured in fresh yerba, then some fresh milk, and then the
boiling water... and my goodness... delicious.
The problem was that the second infusion was not as rich... so I
presume you should really try to make it very strong, so it
compensates the 'cut'.
The pal from Uruguay also recommended me to try it out with some rum 😀
