A device is disclosed for mixing with water the ingredients for yerba mate, tea, or similar beverages. The device has two connected compartments, a first sealed compartment connected to a second compartment. The first compartment is also connected to a duct on the bottom which can draw water from a common disposable bottle. The second compartment is also connected to a suction nozzle that protrudes from the top. The device is designed so that when the suction nozzle supplies suction water is drawn from the bottle through the first compartment and into the second. The beverage ingredient, such as yerba mate, is placed in the first compartment and is kept there by an input filter placed at the entrance to the first compartment and an output filter placed at the connection between the first compartment to the second compartment.
