Ingredients
- 1 cup of Chá Mate - Brazilian Iced Tea
- 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar
- 8 cups of water
For the Lime Syrup
- 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice from 8-10 limes
- 2 cups of water
For the Passion Fruit Syrup
- 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of passion fruit pulp
- 1 cup of water
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and the water over medium high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Next, add in the chá mate and stir to combine. When the water begins to simmer — please don't actually let it boil because that could bring on bitterness from the tea leaves — turn off the heat and let it steep for at least 10 minutes.
- Strain and cool.
- Serve cold and over ice, if desired.
For the Lime Syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and the water and simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved to make a simple syrup.
- Let it cool, then add in the lime juice and the water.
- Add that to taste to your prepared chá mate, and serve over ice with lime garnish, if desired.
For the Passion Fruit Syrup
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and the water and simmer until the sugar is dissolved to make a simple syrup.
- Let it cool, then add in the passion fruit pulp and the water.
- Add that to taste to your prepared chá mate, and serve over ice, if desired.
