Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Stir in the sugar and continue simmering 10 to 15 minutes or until reduced to 3 cups. Strain. Homemade condensed milk can be refrigerated up to a week.
Meanwhile, prepare the mate: Heat a teapot, rinsing it out with boiling water. Add 1 tablespoon mate for every cup of tea desired. Pour boiling water over tea leaves and let steep 5 minutes. Strain and serve with condensed milk. (To drink cold, use twice as many tea leaves and pour tea over ice cubes.
Serve plain or with sugar and lemon.
