Altered Matedor Syrup Recipe

Recipe for Alt-Matédor — Open Mate Syrup based on Matédor

In recent years, Club Mate - a sweetened and carbonated version of the beverage from Germany has become popular among hackers and others around the world. Initiatives like Open Mate have created recipes and DIY instructions for Mate soda home brewing. Matédor is an adaptation of Open Mate's recipe to create a syrup for Soda Stream carbonators.
