Yerba Mate's earthy qualities are livened up with the addition of two essential oils: Clementine and Orange. Enjoy with a touch of sweetener, if that pleases you. A wonderful combination that stays pleasantly on the tongue after the last bit has been drunk. Contains more caffeine than Black Tea!

A cooled concentrate seems to work best, as regular-strength brew becomes watered down as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
