Tereré is a refreshing summer treat. It is more popular than hot maté in tropical South America. You can prepare tereré just like hot maté, but use flavored iced water instead of hot. Generally, it is better to use a small glass or metal cup instead of a maté gourd, as the flavored water will seep into natural gourds.
- Fill a pitcher with water and ice.
- Add agave syrup, maple syrup, or unrefined cane sugar to taste.
- Squeeze a fresh lime or two into the pitcher. (Organic bottled lemonade or limeade can be used instead.)
- Fill a small glass or metal cup with Loose Yerba Mate.
- Insert a bombilla.
- Pour sips of ice-cold, sweet limey water right over the bombilla's head.
- Share, Sip, and Refresh!
For dramatic effect and culinary delight, try using a coconut, a hollowed-out grapefruit, or even a packed snowball!
