TO CURE
YOUR MATE GOURD
To cure your mate
gourd Amargo style
(meaning "bitter", most common
method.)
--Rinse gourd with hot water (no soap) for 10 minutes and remove
any loose interior of the gourd with a spoon. Gourds are a natural product and
may contain dried pulp, the curing process will help clean the gourd and inhibit
mold growth.
--Do not remove the inner hard "stem" from the flower end of the
interior of the gourd--this can result in the gourd leaking.
--Fill
completely with new or spent yerba.
--Fill to the top with hot water
and let sit for an entire day.
--Clean out as described
above.
--Repeat these steps two more times, clean out the gourd, let
dry completely, and your gourd will be infused with flavor and ready to
use.
To cure your gourd Dulce style
(meaning
"sweet")
To cure a gourd for drinking mate dulce cure as
above, then wet the inside of the mate first with hot water. Pour in sugar so
that it sticks to the insides of the mate gourd. Place a burning ember of
charcoal and rapidly shake it around to carmalize the interior. The flavor will
endure for an entire mate drinking session. Recharge your mate in this manner as
often as you like.
