It’s a hot summer afternoon. I’m sitting down on a hot afternoon, with a burger, and a cold beer.
What I’m looking for is something to replace that cold beer with. I want it to be crisp and fresh, but also not sweet. I love tart and bitter flavours. Unfortunately, my options are either cold and sweet, cold and alcoholic or hot and non sweet.
So threadiverse, what alternatives am I missing?
Tereré is great, but it’s a bit of a pain to source in Australia. What else is there?
What about barley tea? It’s only slightly sweet, the main flavour is bitter. And it goes great with some lime or lemon juice.
Also, regarding tereré: if you happen to have an easier time finding yerba mate for the hot beverage, note it’s the same yerba; as long as unflavoured and coarsely ground you can use it interchangeably.
