|
### a drink for the pifcamp piflars - inspired by club mate
|
|
Recipe makes 18L for carbonation and dispensing in a Cornelius keg.
|
|
### INGREDIENTS
|
|
|
|
#### WATER
|
|
- 18.5L of Soca River Water.
|
|
|
|
#### TEA
|
|
- 180g of Mate tea.
|
|
|
|
#### SWEETENER
|
|
- 500g of cane sugar.
|
|
|
|
#### BOTANICALS
|
|
- A large double handful of Achillea millefolium [SLO: Rman, ENG: Yarrow]
|
|
|
|
#### ACIDITY
|
|
- 30g Citric Acid (Substitute with the juice of 12 Lemons juice and a little lemon zest if you have...)
|
|
|
|
## METHOD
|
|
|
|
- Boil water for 1 hour to annihilate any potential pathogens present in river water. Extra half liter for tea absorption, splash and spillage and evaporation during boil.
|
|
|
|
- Allow temperature to drop to 92 Celsius.
|
|
|
|
- add Tea and Achillea millefolium - I used a large hop filter from a brew kettle, if added loose you will need a large stainless steel strainer to filter.
|
|
|
|
- Steep for 12 minutes
|
|
|
|
- Remove tea and yarrow.
|
|
|
|
- Drop temperature to ~30C using a stainless steel coil immersion chiller.
|
|
|
|
- Add citric acid or lemon juice.
|
|
|
|
- Transfer to a sanitised 18L Cornelius keg
|
|
|
|
- Drop temperature as low as possible (immerse and leave keg in river?)
|
|
|
|
- Connect to a CO2 cylinder, purge air and force carbonate at 40 PSI / 3 Bar for 24 hours agitating regularly to assist CO2 absorption. If working on a smaller scale you could use a SodaStream machine to carbonate.
|
|
|
|
- Connect to chiller / dispensing tap and serve chilled.
