We are having a SALE !! Yerba Mate for Your Energy Boost

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Detox For Life, LLCAre you looking for increased mental clarity,   more energy and overall optimal health?  Then I suggest adding Yerba Mate to your  daily nutritional intake.  The main ingredient for this drink is a tea which is made from the Yerba Mate tree which is  native to the subtropical Atlantic forests of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. This evergreen member of the holly family was introduced to modern civilizations by the indigenous Guarani of these countries.  When the leaves are dried and brewed into a drink it is a healthy alternative to coffee.  Yerba Mate is known as  “The Drink of the Gods” by many indigenous groups in South America.  Yerba mate has significant  health benefits that have been peaking the interests of many Americans.  Follow the recipe that I have included and drink yourself to health.

Yerba Mate Citrus Energy Drink (makes one gallon)

3 qts. water

8 tbs. yerba mate

1/2 lb. ginger (sliced and fresh)

Boil the ginger for 10 minutes, remove the ginger and add the mate leaves, steep leaves for 10 more minutes then strain out the leaves.

Add:

Juice from 12 lemons

Juice from 12 limes

12 mashed strawberries

(1)  8 ounce jar of honey (locally found if possible)
