This yerba mate latte recipe uses whole milk and sugar for a rich texture and full flavor. Variations include vegan yerba mate lattes and honey yerba mate lattes.

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces simmering water

  • 3 tablespoons whole milk

  • 1 tablespoon loose-leaf yerba mate

  • Sugar, or vanilla sugar, to taste

Steps to Make It

  1. Combine the simmering water and the whole milk.

  2. Place the yerba mate into an in-cup infuser. Place the infuser into a mug and slowly pour the liquid over it, allowing the liquid to seep in as you would when using a manual ​drip coffee filter.

  3. Brew for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on desired strength.

  4. Add sugar to taste.

  5. Stir with a spoon, or froth with a frother for a more latte-like texture.
