Mate cocido

Mate cocido (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmate koˈsiðo], boiled mate, or just cocido in Corrientes Province), chá mate (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈʃa ˈmatʃi], mate tea), kojoi (Guarani pronunciation: [koˈɟoi]), or yerbiado (Cuyo, Argentina) is an infusion typical of Southern Cone cuisine (mostly consumed in Southern Brazil, the Bolivian Chaco, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay). It is traditionally prepared by boiling yerba mate in water, then strained and served in cups. It is a bitter tasting beverage, similar to mate but milder, with the same stimulating and nutritional properties. It is also sold in teabags, so it can be prepared like tea.
