Ingredients
| 1 litre | water |
| 4 tbsp or 4 bags | roasted mate tea |
| 3 tbsp | sugar |
| 2 | lemons (juice) |
| to taste | ice |
Method
- Boil the water, turn off the heat, add the roasted mate and cover for 5 minutes.
- Strain, sweeten while hot and let it cool.
- Serve over plenty of ice with the lemon juice added at the last minute.
Tip: Use roasted mate (bags or loose), not chimarrão yerba. Add the lemon at the end, because it turns bitter if it sits.
