Just as we love our cups of tea, the Argentinians love their yerba mate, an infusion prepared by steeping dry leaves (and twigs) in hot water (not boiling). It's drunk from these hollow gourds with a metal straw and the flavor is strongly vegetal, herbal and grassy, reminiscent of some varieties of green tea. Some consider the flavor to be very agreeable but it's hard to beat a cup of Tetley's.
