Hazelnut honey gives this yerba mate latte variation a new dimension of flavor. If you like this mate latte recipe, you might also enjoy the soy mate latte or classic yerba mate latte.

Prep Time: 3 minutes

Cook Time: 6 minutes

Total Time: 9 minutes

Yield: Makes one serving

Ingredients:

  • 5 ounces simmering water
  • 3 tbsp. milk
  • 1 tbsp. loose-leaf yerba mate, or two yerba mate teabags
  • Hazelnut honey or other bold honey (to taste)

Preparation:

  1. Combine the simmering water and the 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 drop coffee filter.
  3. Brew for four to six minutes, depending on desired strength.
  4. Add hazelnut honey to taste.
  5. Stir with a spoon, or froth with a frother for a more latte-like texture.
