Is Coffee Mate Halal?

It is made from yerba mate
Yerba Mate (pronounced “yah-bah mah-tay”) is an evergreen shrub native to South America that contains caffeine and other stimulants; unlike coffee, however, yerba mate contains two compounds called theobromine and theophylline which alter its effects, making yerba mate much gentler on your system and less likely to cause crashes or jitters than other caffeinated beverages can do.
Mate is more nutritious than many tea-based beverages, boasting high antioxidant and digestive health benefits as well as vitamin and mineral sources. Furthermore, its polyphenol content may provide cancer prevention while its cholesterol- and blood-sugar-lowering qualities have also been demonstrated to boost energy and mental performance. But as with all things, drinking too much mate could cause heartburn, stomach ulcers, anxiety, restlessness and insomnia if consumed excessively.
A popular way of drinking mate is chimarrao or mate infusions, made by placing loose leaf yerba mate into a gourd and adding hot water, before inserting a bombilla straw through its hole to sip from and sip from. People worldwide appreciate yerba mate as a social beverage.
Not only can mate be enjoyed as an intoxicant, it is also used in recipes. Its creamy, luxurious taste adds depth and richness to desserts and other dishes; alternatively it can replace milk or creamer as part of a recipe mix-in; additionally it adds creamy textures to cold beverages such as smoothies or iced coffee!
Though there are multiple methods for creating yerba mate, the traditional method involves filling a hollow gourd with loose leaves and twigs before adding some near-boiling water and sipping from it through a straw. This ritual embodies Indigenous peoples’ close ties with forest environments and it’s thought that drinking yerba mate helps preserve this relationship for future generations; Guarani culture considers the plant sacred.
