a traditional South American drink made by infusing dried yerba maté leaves in hot water
What is "maté"?
Maté is a traditional South American drink that is made from the dried leaves of the yerba maté plant. It is a popular beverage in countries such as Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, and is often consumed in a social setting with friends and family. Maté is prepared by steeping the dried leaves in hot water, often in a special gourd called a maté, and drinking it through a metal straw called a bombilla. Maté has a strong and bitter flavor, with a grassy and herbal taste that is often compared to green tea. It is also high in caffeine and other stimulants, which can provide a jolt of energy and mental alertness. Maté is often enjoyed as a morning or afternoon pick-me-up, and is a beloved and iconic part of South American culture. It is also sometimes used as a flavoring agent in other beverages and foods.
