There are different opinions on that respect, you get more or less 'palo' (little sticks) according to your particular tastes, same brand may have a couple of choices about the amount of 'palo'. > > A quick question, I'm gathering from what you wrote that the gourds > you're using are much larger then what I'm using (it holds about a > cup.) How much do they hold? That would be a medium to big gourd (depends on the cup). For my individual mates I use a gourd with capacity of about a small coffee cup (not the smaller porcelain ones but small)..... just checked it, a liter will fill nine and a half empty mates, so it must have a tad over 100cc capacity. There are many sizes of gourd and none is THE one, you pick the one you are more comfortable with over the years. > >> You usually share your mate, that means you drink one, then >> you fill the gourd and pass it on in a circle (no, you don't get >> individual bombillas or gourds, that's for gringos), > Eeeeeew! Sorry, I'm just not that much of a "Family of Man" person. :-) Humph... gringos! Can't explain how funny it is to us to see a handful of gringos squatting around a traditional fire each with his own individual mate. :-P > >> PLEASE do not add lemon to it, or you'll be sorry). >> > Since you did not tell us WHY to not add lemon, obviously I must make a > cup right now, and add lemon.
