Peach Mate – How To Make Iced Peach Mate

I love peach mate.  If you have never had yerba mate or iced peach mate – it’s amazingly refreshing, healthy and delightful to drink.  Easy too!  Here is how you do it.

1. Put on cup of loose green mate tea in a gallon jar.
2. Add one kettle of hot water (not quite boiling) – this fills the gallon jar about 1/2 full.
3. Let steep anywhere from 15 min to several hours
4. Strain out the water out, throw out the tea and return the brew to the gallon jar
5. add 1/2 cup of honey and one can of frozen ‘white grape peach’  juice (welchs)
6. Fill the rest of the jar with water and refrigerate.

Serve the peach mate in a tall glass with a couple ice cubes and a lime slice.

Sit back and enjoy!

notes:  if you have a hard time finding the frozen white grape peach juice, ask your grocer to order it

And if you don’t know where to find yerba mate, here is a great source for organic loose yerba mate.
