• You can vary your Iced-Mate according to your tastes and desires! For example, when infusing the mate cocido, add other infusions to add other flavour.

• Another example is to replace the garnish with another ingredient.

• For those who prefer a sweeter drink, add 2cl of liquid cane sugar (or honey, stevia,...) to your Iced-Mate.
