yerba mate lemonade

Yerba mate is a type of tea traditionally consumed in South America. The drink is brewed from the fresh or dried leaves of the mate plant and can be served hot or cold. It is prepared in a calabash and consumed using a bombilla, a metal straw consisting of a mouthpiece, a tube, and a small sieve at the bottom. The filter prevents the loose tea leaves from being sucked in and clogging the straw. Mate has a ceremonial character and is often enjoyed with others. The tea has many health benefits and, thanks to its caffeine content, is a real pick-me-up.

The Sakiškių alus brewery uses this South American classic as the basis for its lemonade: Yerba Mate Lemonade is a refreshing combination of mate tea, brown cane sugar, and citric acid. The drink is inspired by Paraguayan tereré. In this preparation method, the mate leaves are steeped in cold water. The brew is then refined with ice cubes, herbs, and citrus fruits and enjoyed on hot days.

Sakiškių alus Yerba Mate Lemonade is a wonderful refreshment for dry summer days, quenches your thirst and awakens your body and mind with the unmistakable taste of Yerba Mate and a little citrus kick.
