Yerbe Mate Delight

One of my favorite restaurants, R. Thomas in Atlanta, serves a delicious hot drink called the "Blue Moon".  This is a variation of that drink - it's not quite as good, but it's pretty close.

2 bags GF yerbe mate tea
1 bag chamomile tea
1 bag ginger tea
1 bag peppermint tea
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 GF soy milk
1/2 GF rice milk
3 cups boiling water
Freshly squeezed lemon juice

Heat the soy and rice milk.  Add all ingredients and let steep for 5 minutes.  Stir well and serve hot.  Add more or less lemon juice and maple syrup according to your taste.  This makes about 4 cups.
