7 common mistakes at barley (and how to avoid them)
Water boiling, bombilla moving, yerba washing right away... The most typical mistakes and their solution.
Even mothers throughout their lives fall into some. These are the most common:
- Use boiling water. It burns the yerba, the bitter and the lava right away. The ideal is between 70 and 80 ° C
- Don't get his powder out. The fine powder cover the bombilla. Before barley, cover the mate with his hand and turn and shake.
- Move the bombilla. Unarm the mountain and cover the filter. Once put, you don't play.
- Wet all yerba. He's always at the same place, next to the bombilla, so that the dry part holds up more.
- Filling them up. with few yerba the mate will be washed in three turns. Load up to two-thirds or three-quarters.
- No "awaken" yerba. A hot or cold water chorrit before we start hydrag and care about the heat.
- To leave the yerba used inside. It's the leading cause of mold and bad smell at mate.
Bonus
If the mate lost its taste, it's "washed": it will change the yerba or renew half of it, pushing it to one side.
