How to Cure Your Naked Calabash Mate Gourd

Since this is a natural product, it must be cured before its first use to seal the pores and prevent bitterness. Follow these simple steps for the best results:

• Step 1: Fill the gourd two-thirds full with used yerba mate.
• Step 2: Add warm water (not boiling) and let it sit for 24 hours.
• Step 3: Scrape the inner walls gently with a spoon to remove the soft woody tissue.
• Step 4: Repeat if necessary until the interior is smooth and clean.
• Step 5: Rinse and allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before your first brew.
