Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Lemongrass Hibiscus Mate Terere’ blend
- 2 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Sweetener of choice (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Tea Blend: Start by measuring 2 tablespoons of the Lemongrass Hibiscus Mate Tereré blend. This special blend from Foxy Teas combines the unique flavors of lemongrass, hibiscus, and mate, creating a vibrant and refreshing taste.
- Cold Brew the Tea: Place the tea blend in a pitcher and pour 2 cups of cold water over it. Cover the pitcher and let it steep in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for a stronger flavor.
- Strain the Tea: After steeping, strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer or a tea infuser to remove the tea leaves. This will leave you with a beautifully infused cold tea.
- Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add your desired sweetener. Honey, agave syrup, or simple syrup work well. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
- Serve Over Ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the cold-brewed Lemongrass Hibiscus Mate Tereré over the ice. The ice will keep the drink chilled and refreshing.
- Garnish and Enjoy: For an extra touch of freshness, garnish your iced tea with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon or lime. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a beautiful visual appeal.
