Are you looking for increased mental clarity, more energy and overall optimal health? Then I suggest adding Yerba Mate to your daily nutritional intake. The main ingredient for this drink is a tea which is made from the Yerba Mate tree which is native to the subtropical Atlantic forests of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. This evergreen member of the holly family was introduced to modern civilizations by the indigenous Guarani of these countries. When the leaves are dried and brewed into a drink it is a healthy alternative to coffee. Yerba Mate is known as “The Drink of the Gods” by many indigenous groups in South America. Yerba mate has significant health benefits that have been peaking the interests of many Americans. Follow the recipe that I have included and drink yourself to health.
