FreeMate

Club Mate is an awesome beverage. Here’s how to do it yourself.

HOWTO FreeMate

DEPENDENCIES

  • Yerba Mate Tea
  • Sugar, preferrably dissolved in water
  • Lemon Juice
  • Carbonated Water

BUILDING

SuperStrong Mate Tea (1 liter):

  • Boil 1 liter water.
  • Add 5 tablespoons of Yerba Mate Tea.
  • Let it sit for at least 7 minutes.
  • Filter it through a coffee filter. This makes it less cloudy.
  • Let it cool down and finally put it in the fridge.

Dissolved sugar in water:

  • Boil a small amount of water (e.g. 2dl)
  • Add sugar until the solution becomes a little bit thicker than water.
  • Don’t add too much sugar, then it will not be easy to use later.

INSTALLING

  • For each serving of FreeMate:
    • 20% SuperStrong Mate Tea
    • Add as much sugar as required by your system, but don’t take too much
    • Add a few dashes of Lemon Juice
    • Mix it well
    • Add Carbonated Water
    • Mix carefully
    • Ready for consumption

TESTING

  • Every now and then, compare your FreeMate installation with a Club Mate. This will let you realize what a fantastic beverage you have created.
