Brazilian Yerba Mate Kit

Popular with the Gauchos in South America, this drink became the national drink in almost every country of this continent over the years. This variety is rich in vitamins and minerals.  High in caffeine, the caffeine is bound to tannic substances and is set free in the body very mildly.  Hence, its stimulating effect lasts longer than that of coffee!

Ingredients:  Brazilian Mate

Pour just boiling water (203-212F) over one level teaspoon of tea per 6 oz. serving.  Steep 5-10 minutes to taste.
