We drink juice and tea at lunch.
From Lesson 23:Regular -er verbs·Spanish (Latin America)

Questions & Answers about Nosotros bebemos jugo y té en el almuerzo.

Why does the verb end in -emos?
Bebemos comes from the regular -er verb beber (to drink). Because the subject is "we" (nosotros), we drop the -er ending and add -emos to match.
Do I have to say nosotros before bebemos?
No, it is completely optional! Because the ending -emos in bebemos already tells us that "we" are doing the drinking, you can just say Bebemos jugo y té en el almuerzo. Including nosotros just adds a little emphasis.
I've seen the word "zumo" for juice. Why is it jugo here?
In Latin America, jugo is the standard word for juice. If you travel to Spain, you will hear people use the word zumo instead, but in Latin American Spanish, you will always want to use jugo.
Why does the word té have an accent mark?
The accent mark helps tell it apart from another short word that sounds exactly the same. Té with the accent means "tea," while te without the accent is a pronoun used for "you" (like in te quiero, meaning "I love you").
Why do we say en el almuerzo for "at lunch"?
In English we say "at lunch," but in Spanish you use en (which can mean in, on, or at) followed by the word el (the). When talking about having something during a meal, Spanish speakers literally say "in the lunch" or "in the breakfast."
