I found this thread about yerba mate intriguing, I will admit my ignorance by saying that I had never heard of it but with help of google I now know a lot more so much so we decided to try it. Following your directions we went to Supermercado Lindo in LT and sure enough there it was on the bottom shelf of the tea and coffee section. How to make it, even my Dominican wife found the directions on the side of the packet confusing. My feeling is that it would be best and convenient to make it in a teapot, we not having any of those special south american pots and then pour it out like tea through a sieve at two small teaspoons for two persons. Any observations on this method would be much appreciated.
