Yerba mate
This South American plant is most often consumed as an herbal infusion. Rich in caffeine, it works to burn fat and excess sugar in the body. It shares its name with the container that the infusion is typically drank out of, called a gourd. To make the infusion, the Yerba mate leaves are steeped in cold water, then simmered (but not boiled).
