Guayaki Vanilla Nut Java Mate

I love my yerba mate and I decided to experiment with the Java Mate from Guayaki. I decided to use my hot tea infuser instead of the traditional gourd.

I added the same amount of yerba mate and water that I would have for a few gourds full and let the mate infuse with the boiling water. The nutty vanilla aroma was pleasantly noticeable. After each infusion of mate and water, I added the hot water into a pitcher and set it aside. 128 ounces of hot vanilla nut yerba mate sat patiently until it was ready to be refrigerated. After the hot mate semi cooled down, I placed it into the fridge and sampled it the next morning.

Perfectly blended cold yerba mate hit the spot and provided the much needed organic energy that my body craved. I do like my Guayaki Yerba Mate better hot, but cold is great as well!
