Wasn't it you that likes maté? I was at the natural foods place this weekend and they had lemon ginger maté way on sale, so I got some. I think that's better for waking up than coffee is! I'll have to get some of the plain stuff, so I can add my own flavoring. Bet it'd be good with fresh mint.
Speaking of which, my mint is growing insanely. I used a bunch yesterday in tea and for tabouli salad, but I should probably pick a bunch more and dry it so the plants don't completely take over that area!
See, I told ya not to worry! I love it! My favorite mint is in Vermont! :-)
Yes, I love mate. I am drinking some now. :-)
When I get it plain, I get mine from a Mexican store here in a 2 pound bag. Mostly I get the Celestial Seasonings flavors though. I like their Morning Thunder but today I'm having Verde Mist. The stuff *really* does wake you up! 8-)
