What is HolyMate?

HolyMate is a DIY version of Club-Mate (often called HackMate) made at Hackalot. It is currently sold at the bar. More details can be found at https://holymate.nl/

How its made

The drink is mate using a small list of ingredients:

- Playadito yerba mate (despalo is fine too)
- Citric acid
- Sugar
- E150A
- CO2
- Water

The ratio between the ingredients are as follows for 1 litre of HolyMate

- 10 grams of Playadito yerba mate
- 48 grams of white sugar
- 1.08 grams of citric acid
- 0.10 grams of E150A
- 500 ml of water (that has been boiled) at 70°C
- 500 ml of water (that has been boiled) at 0°C

These ingredients scale linearly for larger volumes. At Hackalot; we brew batches of 36 litre's at a time. Prepare as follows:

- Place the tea in a large tea bag, and let it steep in te hot water for 7 minutes while constantly agitating the mixture. 
  The tea should become fairly dark. 
  When the tea is done steeping, it should be removed from the mixture.
- Slowly dissolve the sugar
- Slowly dissolve the citric acid
- Slowly dissolve the E150A
- Filter the tea until all 'dust' is removed
  A coffee filter will work but needs to be replaced frequently. 
- Add the cold water to the tea
  and optionally place it in a cold environment such as a refrigerator.
- Flush out the air using carbon dioxide, and leave the container pressurised with carbon dioxide at 2 bar overnight.
