DIY Sparkling Grapefruit Ginger
We’re back with another DIY recipe installment for you to make homemade, customizable versions of Guayakí Yerba Mate’s famed canned flavors using loose leaf yerba mate. This DIY is to show you how to make the ever-uplifting Sparkling Grapefruit Ginger!
Making your own version of our canned flavors at home is great for many reasons:
1. You can control the sweetness and use the sweetener of your choice. Get creative with maple syrup, honey, stevia, or coconut sugar!
2. You get to experiment with loose leaf yerba mate.
3. Aluminum is highly recyclable but swapping out a can here and there for a homemade loose leaf version of your favorite flavor is a great way to reduce your global impact.
4. Loose leaf is easy to travel with and the other ingredients are relatively easy to find, so you'll never be left Guayaki-less.
