20–24 parts cold water (20 = bolder, 24 = lighter)
96 oz Large Batch
Makes ~8 servings (12 oz each)
-
½ cup King Reys Yerba Mate blend
-
¼ cup cane sugar
-
¼ cup monk fruit sweetener
-
Cold water/ice to 96 oz total
48 oz Half Batch
Makes ~4 servings (12 oz each)
-
¼ cup King Reys Yerba Mate blend
-
2 Tbsp cane sugar
-
2 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener
-
Cold water/ice to 48 oz total
Steps (Large Batch)
1. Combine & cover: Add ½ cup yerba blend to a container with a tight fitting lid. Pour in just enough cold water to fully cover the blend. Add lid.
2. Shake: Give it a good shake.
3. Cold steep: Refrigerate 1–24 hours (overnight is perfect).
Optional: Sun-brew 1–2 hours instead.


4. Strain: Pour through a fine‑mesh strainer into a clean container.

5. Rinse to finish: With the leaves still in the strainer, rinse with more cold water directly into your container until the runoff is nearly clear, this helps pull out the last of the flavor and nutrients.
For a clearer brew with minimal particles, finish with a fine 400-mesh strainer.

6. Sweeten: Stir in ¼ cup cane sugar + ¼ cup monk fruit until dissolved.
7. Top up: Add cold water (or ice) to 96 oz total.

8. Chill & enjoy: Serve cold over ice. Drink and chill.
