On sunny days it is sometimes more pleasant to drink a cool drink than a traditional mate. That's why, today, we explain how to prepare delicious and healthy iced-mate.
How to prepare the ICED-MATE?
To prepare the Iced-Mate you must first prepare its base, in other words, the mate cocido (see recipe mate cocido).
Ingredients:
- Cold Mate cocido
- Ice cubes
- Lemon
Materials:
- 1 Shaker
- 1 Jigger
- 1 Glass
Estimated time: 2 minutes
Follow the steps:
Follow carefully the different steps for the preparation of the mate cocido :
- Use 2-3 large ice cubes in your shaker
- Pour 20cl of mate cocido into it
- Squeeze 1/2 a lemon
- Shake it all up
- Add some garnish (optional)
Our tips:
- You can vary your Iced-Mate according to your tastes and desires! For example, when infusing the mate cocido, add other infusions to add other flavour.
- Another example is to replace the garnish with another ingredient.
- For those who prefer a sweeter drink, add 2cl of liquid cane sugar (or honey, stevia,...) to your Iced-Mate.
- last but not least, be creative and change the lemon with another fruit.
