Yerba Maté Cold Steep Methods
Here are some cool yerba maté drink ideas:
Cold Steeped Yerba Maté Tea
Use 1 cup of loose yerba maté tea for every gallon of tea you want to make (can be adjusted based on how strong you want your maté tea to be). Let the grounds steep in cool water overnight (in or out of the fridge). Strain in the morning and refrigerate.
Enjoy cold steeped yerba maté tea plain or with your choice of sweetener.
OR: You can do any variety of things to your yerba maté base. You can add 1 to 1 1/2 cans (per gallon of mate) of frozen juice concentrate (raspberry, peach, grape, etc) or frozen lemonade. No extra sweetener is normally needed.
Experiment, there's so much you can do with Maté Factor yerba maté!
