1. Rinse the wooden interior with warm water before first use.

2. Fill halfway with used yerba mate or a small amount of dry mate.

3. Add warm water (not boiling) and let it sit for 24 hours to allow the wood to absorb moisture and release natural bitterness.

4. Empty and rinse gently with warm water.

5. Repeat at least twice for optimal results.

6. After each use, rinse with warm water only, let it dry completely, and never use soap.
