Mate/Terere

Mate is a hot beverage that consists on putting herbs in a sort of glass and inserting a metalic straw we call bombilla. Then we add hot water and share it. One mate is shared between people in a reunion or something like that. Terere is similar only we add juice instead of hot water so its more of a summer drink. I absolutely love sharing it with my friends and family, even though we miss it now that covid is here...
